ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Quick block notes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Note Widget + has 445 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Quick block notes's written reviews are positive against 78% of Note Widget +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Quick block notes ships an update every 8 months, Note Widget + monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
