[Introduction] “I've absorbed so much input but haven't put it into practice...” “I want to manage all my books, videos, audio, etc. in one place to cut down on extra hassle.” Ever thought about that? NewPractice is a note-taking app designed to prevent input from ending with “just reading.” Its purpose is to connect all your learning and insights—from books, movies, music, videos, articles, and more—to action. [Overview] We believe simply recording your input is sufficient. However, reviewing and outputting your notes further helps maintain motivation. NewPractice lets you freely record any input, regardless of genre. Designed with simplicity and continuity in mind, it allows you to keep only what you need and review at your own pace. [Features] ・Record anything Register inputs like books, movies, music, videos, articles, etc., regardless of format. ・Entry-level hiding Hide entries you'd rather not show, like certain works or records. Re-display them only when you want to review them. ・“Later” management Register works you want to watch or read later. ・Easy Registration via Search Instantly register books, movies, music, etc., by searching—no tedious input required. ・Calendar View Review your inputs chronologically—when and what you consumed. ・Graph View Visualize your input volume by category and grasp trends. ・No Intrusive Ads The developer personally dislikes ads that constantly appear or force interruptions. Therefore, ads that distract you won't be implemented. [Summary] No unnecessary ads. It's the minimal setup for thinking, reflecting, and taking action. Turn input into practice. NewPractice is the place for that. Terms of Use (EULA):https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

PinLog is a memo app that brings back text and links you want to return to later. Save in a moment, and let the app remember for you. ■ PIN IT FOR LATER • Tap + to write and save • Tap the Share button in another app and choose PinLog to save text or a link • Save copied text with Save from Clipboard • Tell Siri “Pin to PinLog” or write from Control Center or the Shortcuts app • Use voice input, or import text, Markdown, and JSON files • See the page title on pins that contain links ■ LET IT COME BACK • Pins saved a few days ago, or not viewed for a while, return on the home screen and widget • Use a pin’s bell to set a reminder for Tonight, Tomorrow morning, the Weekend, or a date and time you choose • Turn on Notify Me of One Pin Daily in Settings to receive one pin at your chosen time ■ MARK IT DONE • Done pins stop coming back. They stay saved, so you can restore them later • Mark pins Done from the widget or a notification too • Search for any pin you have saved ■ MADE TO STAY SMALL PinLog deliberately has no tags or folders. It is a focused tool for saving something now and acting on it later. Pins are stored only on this iPhone. No account is required, and there are no ads.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PinLog Text Notes at none against NewPractice's 1. PinLog Text Notes also leads on ads (none vs shown). NewPractice's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
