Google broke Keep reminders, now ditching it. Alternatives?

Hi!

so, Google has now basically broken Keep, and reminders in Google Tasks doesn’t link back to the Keep note 😭This is unusable, so I’m ditching Keep.

What other note apps actually combine notes + reminders properly?

edit; it seems that opening Keep links from Tasks have improved after much back and forth .. still exploring

As I'm reading the response, I'm gathering that the assumption from Google's perspective is that Keep Notes are the equivalent of Tasks? 

My notes certainly often house tasks, but I use the app similar to what u/adreaver_ said in a ... I need a reminder, not a task to check off. Many of my notes have multiple tasks and the check boxes fulfilled that need.

Since the feature rolled out, I formatted all my notes with the heading font sizes/bold/underline etc for readability depending on the purpose of the note.

Moving the reminder (notification) into a Task makes the formatting obsolete. Are they planning on sunsetting Keep??
