A free, small and super-fast notes application. We make TimyNote as a web application at first because everyone has a browser installed on their PC, and we open it almost every day. Therefore, we can reuse the browser's abilities and reduce CPU and memory usage. This app is the mobile version for TimyNote. 【Key features】 *TimyNote is FREE! *Easy to use: very simple UI *Small & Fast: many popular notes applications’size are very big and have too much features. TimyNote is lean and fast! *Cross-platform: general mobile and PC systems are supported *Synchronization: Synchronize data among all your devices. With support for WebDAV and its temporary storage mechanism, there's no need to buy any expensive Cloud disk (such as OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, DropBox, Nutstore, etc).

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: TimyNote at Free against FloatNotes's $0.99. TimyNote also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). FloatNotes's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
