Writing notes on your iPhone should be simple. There should be fewer buttons and more natural gestures. You shouldn't have to deal with "Marker Felt" font or yellow-lined paper. TextPad was built from the ground up to be easy to use and as "finger friendly" as possible. Want to change the font size? Just pinch-to-zoom! Want to key the keyboard out of the way? Push it off of the screen! Want to go to another note? Turn the page with a flick of your finger! TextPad was built to be the best way for you to take notes on the go.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MyNotePad at none against n+otes's 4. MyNotePad also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (83% vs 64%). n+otes's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (45K vs 1.6K). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
