Which entrance? What floor? What's the door code again? Save the answers in Where so you can stop searching old messages before every visit or delivery. Where is an address book for friends, family and the places you return to. Keep the street address, apartment, entrance, floor, door code, gate code and notes together in one simple card. FIND THE DETAILS YOU NEED Search by name or street. Leave a note about the courtyard entrance, the right buzzer or who to call when the intercom is broken. Start with just a name and add the rest whenever you like. COPY IN ONE TAP Copy an address straight from the list or from its card, then paste it into a message or delivery app. Only need the door code or apartment number? Tap its tile to copy that detail. You can also share the formatted address using the iPhone share sheet. CHOOSE YOUR FORMAT • Full: the address, apartment details, codes and note. • One line: the address, apartment details and codes in a single line for delivery forms. • Address only: the street and apartment, without codes. • Custom: choose your fields, arrange their order, toggle field labels and separate details with commas or line breaks. Empty fields are skipped automatically. A preview shows exactly how your text will look. PIN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE Place a pin at the entrance, gate or driveway. Find an address on the map or use your current location, then open the saved place in Apple Maps. START WITH 5 PLACES The free version stores up to 5 places and includes ads. Copying and all copy templates are free. When a rewarded ad is available, watch it to add one more place beyond the limit. A one-time purchase removes ads and the place limit forever. No subscription. No sign-up required. Your saved cards are stored on your device.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Where at every 5 days against Notepad's every 6 weeks. Notepad's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
