Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Seekers Notes at weekly against Picture Hunt's every 6 weeks. Seekers Notes also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 44%) and ratings volume (95K vs 6K). Picture Hunt's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (12.0 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 Picture Hunt sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Picture Hunt holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seekers Notes has 95K ratings behind it against 6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Seekers Notes's written reviews are positive against 44% of Picture Hunt's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Seekers Notes ships an update weekly, Picture Hunt every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
