Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Walling at every 6 days against Nimbus Note's fortnightly. Walling also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). Nimbus Note's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 63%). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Walling holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 400 and 323 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Nimbus Note's written reviews are positive against 63% of Walling's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
