Verdict

The call

Safety Note+ and MyNotes both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of Safety Note+'s written reviews are positive against 40% of MyNotes's. Safety Note+ also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (655 vs 46). MyNotes's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs paid) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
