Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Notebook at Free against DIDIDO?'s $0.99. Notebook also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). DIDIDO?'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
