Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nano Notes at none against Text 2 Watch's 1. Nano Notes also leads on ratings volume (150 vs 2) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Text 2 Watch's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text 2 Watch sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Nano Notes asks for nothing beyond the download.
Nano Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nano Notes has 150 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Text 2 Watch's written reviews are positive against 83% of Nano Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Text 2 Watch ships an update every 5 months, Nano Notes every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
