Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: myNotes at 78% against Whiteboard's 30%. myNotes also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). Whiteboard's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 2.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). On price, ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Whiteboard holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 30% 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.
Whiteboard ships an update every 4 months, myNotes every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
