ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NotePrints holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tappa Keyboard has 28 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of NotePrints's written reviews are positive against 60% of Tappa Keyboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

NotePrints ships an update every 9 days, Tappa Keyboard every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
