SuperNotes Note Taking App holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SuperNotes Note Taking App has 617 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Paint Professional HD...'s written reviews are positive against 41% of SuperNotes Note Taking App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Paint Professional HD... ships an update every 15 months, SuperNotes Note Taking App every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
