WhoeverNote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6.

Written reviews complicate that: 53% of WhoeverNote's written reviews are positive against 68% of Simple Notepad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WhoeverNote ships an update monthly, Simple Notepad every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
