ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

note holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Notes Safe has 83 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of My Notes Safe's written reviews are positive against 68% of note'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 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
