ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Blazed holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PotteryNotes has 81 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of PotteryNotes's written reviews are positive against 0% of Blazed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PotteryNotes ships an update every 2 months, Blazed every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 18, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
