ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Badger Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Badger Notes has 206 ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Badger Notes's written reviews are positive against 39% of GDm's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
