Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: tCheck at 4.0 against Cannabis Journal's 3.4. tCheck also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Cannabis Journal's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (43% vs 25%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

tCheck holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cannabis Journal has 28 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of tCheck's written reviews are positive against 43% of Cannabis Journal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

tCheck ships an update every 2 months, Cannabis Journal every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
