Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MacroFactor Workouts at 4.8 against My Workout Notebook's 4.0. MacroFactor Workouts also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 1) and chart position (#127 vs unranked). My Workout Notebook's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and update cadence (daily vs every 10 days). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MacroFactor Workouts holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MacroFactor Workouts has 4.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of MacroFactor Workouts's written reviews are positive against 100% of My Workout Notebook's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MacroFactor Workouts ships an update every 10 days, My Workout Notebook daily. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
