ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Notes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1.

Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Passwords for Nextcloud's written reviews are positive against 50% of Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Passwords for Nextcloud ships an update every 2 months, Notes every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and August 11, 2026 respectively.
