Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Whiteboard at none against myNotes's 4. Whiteboard also leads on rating (2.5 vs 2.3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). myNotes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Whiteboard holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Whiteboard's written reviews are positive against 78% of myNotes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Whiteboard ships an update every 4 months, myNotes every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
