# Seekers Notes vs Time Crimes

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Seekers Notes at 95K against Time Crimes's 436. Seekers Notes also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and rating (4.3 vs 4.1). Time Crimes's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Seekers Notes sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Time Crimes sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Seekers Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seekers Notes has 95K ratings behind it against 436, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Seekers Notes's written reviews are positive against 71% of Time Crimes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Seekers Notes ships an update weekly, Time Crimes every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 6, 2026 respectively.
