Ingenious Med holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ingenious Med has 3.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Ingenious Med's written reviews are positive against 18% of BestNotes Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ingenious Med ships an update every 5 weeks, BestNotes Mobile every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and July 20, 2026 respectively.
