ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Write notes on the screen holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Write notes on the screen has 27 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Notepad's written reviews are positive against 25% of Write notes on the screen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Notepad ships an update every 3 months, Write notes on the screen every 27 months. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
