Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Hedwi Translate at none against Bloomnote's shown. Hedwi Translate also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Bloomnote's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bloomnote holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bloomnote has 22 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Bloomnote's written reviews are positive against 100% of Hedwi Translate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bloomnote ships an update weekly, Hedwi Translate every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
