ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Transcribe Audio to Text Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Transcribe Audio to Text Notes has 3.8K ratings behind it against 438, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Transcribe Audio to Text Notes's written reviews are positive against 78% of Note Widget +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Transcribe Audio to Text Notes ships an update fortnightly, Note Widget + monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
