WhatTheFont holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WhatTheFont has 588 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of WhatTheFont's written reviews are positive against 50% of Note+2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WhatTheFont ships an update every 4 months, Note+2 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
