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: Chirp has 26 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Chirp'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

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
