The clearest difference is rating: Temperature Log Book at 5.0 against Temperature Checking's 2.3. Temperature Checking's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (28 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Temperature Log Book holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Temperature Checking has 28 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of Temperature Log Book's written reviews are positive against 20% of Temperature Checking's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on August 15, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
