ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WPB holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WPB has 251 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of BilliardsNote's written reviews are positive against 25% of WPB's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BilliardsNote ships an update fortnightly, WPB weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
