ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WristNotes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ant Browser has 50 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Ant Browser's written reviews are positive against 50% of WristNotes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ant Browser ships an update every 2 weeks, WristNotes monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
