Verdict

The call

Timeline and Lifelog Note both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of Lifelog Note's written reviews are positive against 66% of Timeline's. Lifelog Note also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Timeline's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 34) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
