ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Weekly Planner holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weekly Planner has 113 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Daily Notes Planner's written reviews are positive against 33% of Weekly Planner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Daily Notes Planner ships an update weekly, Weekly Planner every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
