Centric Notes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OneTouch EMR has 24 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of OneTouch EMR's written reviews are positive against 0% of Centric Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OneTouch EMR ships an update every 14 months, Centric Notes every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
