Those Widgets are compatible with the new iOS 14 Home Screen Widgets. Thanks to this application (and the other Widget apps from PacoLabs), you can now customize the Today view of your device, by adding custom widgets for some specific purposes. From anywhere in your device, with a simple top to bottom swipe, you'll have access to your own information and actions. Each Note widget allows to view user defined text. This is perfect to quickly view and edit some notes and reminders or to give you inspiration with your favourite quotes. The text can be displayed in different ways (by changing the size, the font, the color, the alignment). Markdown and pseudo HTML are partially handled and allows to easily add some specific colors and text formatting. The text can be quickly edited by touching it. The application is really easy to use and is adapted to the fresh look of your device. Dark mode of iOS13 is supported. You can add as many widgets as you want and they will be displayed in up to 3 different lists. Those same lists will be available in the Today view and in the application (although it is possible, if you want, to hide some widgets in the Today view). To avoid overloading the Today view, when too many widgets are displayed, an intuitive control will allow you to navigate from one widget to another. Even if the main purpose of the app is to view the widgets in the Today view, it can also be very handy to view them directly in the application (a long press on a widget in the Today view will open it directly in the main application).
AccessibleLabels

Create and read accessible labels for the blind and visually impaired. Use the app to generate QR codes that you can print out on inexpensive adhesive labels and then attach to any objects. Scan the QR codes with the camera of your iPhone or iPad and link them to texts and voice recordings. When a label is scanned again, the previously stored content is played back. Thus, the app can represent an alternative to expensive hardware solutions. First test with a maximum of ten labels and activate the app for a fee if you like it. Choose between the in-app purchases “Single” just for you and “Family” for your entire family as part of family sharing. • Free from ads • In-app purchases – no subscription • Detailed online manual • Support via email in case of problems • Updates with improvements and fixes • Can be used offline • VoiceOver support Print the labels yourself with a normal printer on standard multipurpose label sheets or use a suitable label printer. Pick from predefined formats or create your own label format. You can also share the generated documents with someone to help you print them. In addition to different modes for scanning the labels and playing back the stored information, the app also enables you to search for specific labels. The app uses acoustic signals to help you navigate to the label you want. The app was developed and tested in collaboration with the German company 2of1. The company has many years of experience in the distribution of various aid technologies, which benefit both private everyday life and the individual professional integration of blind and visually impaired people. Further highlights at a glance: • Create clear folder structures to organize your labels • Speech recognition to generate preview texts for your voice recordings • Use your device’s flashlight when it’s too dark for the camera • Operate the app with the VoiceOver rotor Developer: Moritz Weinig, Bismarckstr. 124, 28203 Bremen, Germany, VATIN (USt-IdNr.): DE319833568, Phone: +49 (0) 162 60 20 626, Email: apps@moritzweinig.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: AccessibleLabels at Free against Note Widget's $0.99. AccessibleLabels also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). Note Widget's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
