# Notes for Watch vs ICS2Calendar

The clearest difference is rating: Notes for Watch at 3.9 against ICS2Calendar's 3.0. Notes for Watch also leads on ratings volume (523 vs 1) and chart position (#198 vs unranked). ICS2Calendar's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 23%) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Notes for Watch costs $1.99 and ICS2Calendar $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Notes for Watch holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notes for Watch has 523 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Notes for Watch's written reviews are positive against 50% of ICS2Calendar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Notes for Watch ships an update every 2 months, ICS2Calendar every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
