ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fullnotes holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fullnotes has 27 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Fullnotes's written reviews are positive against 75% of Nursie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fullnotes ships an update weekly, Nursie every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
