ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

IsTalk holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notepad Sanrio characters has 1.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Notepad Sanrio characters's written reviews are positive against 49% of IsTalk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Notepad Sanrio characters ships an update every 4 months, IsTalk every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
