Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Easy Note at 5.0 against Music Flashcards's 3.8. Easy Note also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). Music Flashcards's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (73% vs 50%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Easy Note holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Music Flashcards has 45 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Music Flashcards's written reviews are positive against 50% of Easy Note's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Music Flashcards ships an update every 2 months, Easy Note fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
