Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: JotItDownYo at none against Review Notebook 2's 1. JotItDownYo also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). Review Notebook 2's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
