ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Digital Notebook holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digital Notebook has 248 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 10% of Digital Notebook's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Paint Professional HD... ships an update every 15 months, Digital Notebook every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
