ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NoteBrew holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of NoteBrew's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bareesta's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

NoteBrew ships an update every 3 months, Bareesta every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
