NoteTaker, Note taking app holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NoteTaker, Note taking app has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of NoteTaker, Note taking app's written reviews are positive against 50% of LinHand's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
