A beautiful, simple, and easy to use return visit app to assist Jehovah's Witnesses with ministry. This app was designed to be fast and lightweight to quickly add and update your return visits without being bogged down with too many taps. I hope you enjoy using it. This app is NOT an official app from Jehovah's Witnesses. Please feel free to report bugs to me at fgathright@me.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Returns Pro at Free against HouseNotes2's $0.99. Returns Pro also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (19 vs 1). HouseNotes2's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 86%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Returns Pro is free to download; HouseNotes2 costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Returns Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Returns Pro has 19 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of HouseNotes2's written reviews are positive against 86% of Returns Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HouseNotes2 ships an update every 2 months, Returns Pro every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
