ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Write on Screen holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Note Widget has 12K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Write on Screen's written reviews are positive against 64% of Note Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Write on Screen ships an update every 11 months, Note Widget weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
