ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Multi Diary holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tim Notes Blue has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Multi Diary's written reviews are positive against 67% of Tim Notes Blue's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Multi Diary ships an update every 4 days, Tim Notes Blue every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
