Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Nota at 100% against The ZO App's 30%. Nota also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.5). The ZO App's advantage is price (Free vs $5.99) and ratings volume (81 vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
