Noted provides instant feedback for those trying to learn their notes. The notes are shown on the Grand Staff where users can use the built in keyboard mode or use their own instrument and the device's microphone. Each session is broken up in to 15, 30, or 60 second intervals to allow students, young and old, to stay attentive and interested. Noted provides the ability for students to quickly learn all their notes, including those with sharps and flats. In assisted mode, if an incorrect note is played, it is immediately shown on the staff so the student can compare the note they played to the actual note. This spacial awareness helps to engrain in the students mind how the notes relate to one another. This method is proven to work, even for those who have never had any introduction into music. Simply start, and the instant feedback will have you learning in no time at all.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Noted at none against Easy Note's shown. Noted also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 50%) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). Easy Note's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 16 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Easy Note holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Noted has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Noted's written reviews are positive against 50% of Easy Note's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Noted ships an update every 16 months, Easy Note fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 29, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
