Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Colored Note at 4.7 against Garage Studio's 4.1. Colored Note also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (5K vs 29). Garage Studio's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 54%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Colored Note holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Colored Note has 5K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Colored Note's written reviews are positive against 71% of Garage Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Colored Note ships an update every 5 days, Garage Studio every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
