Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flash Cards + at 73% against Sticky Notes Widget's 29%. Flash Cards + also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Sticky Notes Widget's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and update cadence (daily vs every 5 days). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sticky Notes Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticky Notes Widget has 6.5K ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Flash Cards +'s written reviews are positive against 29% of Sticky Notes Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Flash Cards + ships an update every 5 days, Sticky Notes Widget daily. The most recent releases landed on August 3, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
