Verdict

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flatstick Pub holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Great Notion has 148 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Flatstick Pub's written reviews are positive against 20% of Great Notion'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. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
