Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: shopmap at 5.0 against Note Widget +'s 4.4. shopmap also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Note Widget +'s advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 66 months) and ratings volume (438 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
