### 3/5 — New version broke all my widgets and charts

*2026-06-26, version 2.0*

This is by far one of my favourite and most used apps, but the new version wrecked all my existing widgets, thicknesses all changed, axis went away, titles went away etc. 

Some shortcuts stopped working because the accumulate function seems to work differently now, existing stacked charts stopped stacking, custom axis labels no longer show up. Have to go back and recode/adjust probably 20 shortcuts and 30+ charts to get everything back. Big job. Wish it actually did migrate seamlessly, but it didn’t.

### 5/5 — 2.0 Update - Fantastic Support

*2026-06-25, version 2.0*

Charty is an essential tool if you use Shortcuts for anything data-related. I have 8 automated charts tracking home temperatures from 6 HomeKit sensors, on an 3hourly automation across a couple of devices and Charty handles all of it beautifully.
After the 2.0 update I hit a bug where the Style Series action couldn’t find series created via Add Series from CSV. I emailed Rodrigo, and within a short time he’d identified the exact cause — a trailing space in CSV column headers that 2.0 no longer trims automatically — and sent a fix. That kind of support from a solo developer is rare.
The app itself is powerful once you understand how it works with Shortcuts. The 2.0 rebuild looks great and the widgets update reliably. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to visualise data from their automations.

### 2/5 — Cool App Bad Pricing

*2026-06-24, version 2.0*

Was very excited about this app until I seen the pricing structure. Many apps don't even last 5 years before developers stop supporting them and yet lifetime is priced at 10 years.. so unfortunately I'll have to pass on it!

### 2/5 — There be dragons

*2026-06-06*

I've spent a lot of time with Charty. Early on, I dove in head-first and created a bunch of charts. Day 1 went pretty well. But then things got rocky. I tried updating them with shortcuts, and displaying them in widgets. I started getting duplicate charts, and empty charts. Sync bugs were everywhere. Widgets would mysteriously go blank. I know the author has put a lot of time into Charty, and I want it to be great. If you just need to make the occasional one-off chart, and you're going to do it interactively inside the app, I think it's fine. For heavy use, or anything involving automation or widgets, though, I cannot recommend it.

**Developer response:** Thanks for such a thoughtful review, and I’m sorry the sync issues, duplicate charts, and blank widgets got in your way. You’re right to say these shouldn’t be happening.

I’m aware of these bugs and I have tried to address them in the next major update, which is launching this month. Charty 2.0 specifically rebuilds the sync layer to fix the duplicates, sync bugs, and widget refresh problems you hit. I’d love to make sure it fully resolves your setup. If you’re open to it, please reach out via the Feedback option in the Settings tab, so I can send you a beta invite for you to try. I’d genuinely value your input.

Thanks for wanting Charty to be great. I do too!

### 5/5 — Plein de possibilités !

*2026-01-20, version 1.4.2*

Plein de possibilités et heureusement qu’il y a les exemples pour aider à prendre en main l’application !

### 5/5 — Great Chats

*2025-11-12*

I like where this app has gone, but I was hoping for much more in the future but there seems to not have been an update for three years now.

I would love to see the app, expand into three dimensional plots also intensity plots, who are heat plots which are XY type maps with an exterior variable Z acting as the intensity of the information or color in the chart case.

If the developer is still out there and is reading this, please consider continuing your efforts.

### 1/5 — How do I use this

*2025-11-04, version 1.4.2*

How do I even use this app??

### 1/5 — Appli factice

*2025-10-07, version 1.4.2*

Rien n’est disponible. Uniquement des vidéo de tuto. Même en payant le supplément premium, rien n’est disponible !

### 1/5 — It’s a dead app

*2025-09-21, version 1.4.2*

Don’t download it because there is no update to this in three years.

### 5/5 — Love the app got premium too but can you add gauges also

*2025-09-01, version 1.4.2*

Pretty please
