ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lock Notes Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lock Notes Pro has 270 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Lock Notes Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of StopButton's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lock Notes Pro ships an update every 2 weeks, StopButton fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
