### 2/5 — Still not working

*2026-06-07, version 4.1*

Great app previously, unfortunately the latest update still hasn’t resolved the crashing issue on startup (using iPhone 12 mini).

### 2/5 — Good Ideas, Poor Execution

*2026-03-25, version 4.0*

This has many points that are appealing -such as “goals” and swiping up or down- yet it falls short of useful simply from a lacking foundation. When naming a new tally (you have to name it) you must wait after the first letter for the keyboard to close & re-open, and after saving it, the app sometimes crashes.
This app would be great if it fixed these issues and added a way to customize the layout of the tally counters (currently only left-to-right, up-to-down and 3x4 on each page).

### 3/5 — Disappoints

*2026-02-01, version 4.0*

I want to love this app but it scrambles my items. I sort them, organize by category (color) and price so I can work quickly to keep track and it scrambles them daily. Super annoying and time consuming to have to jump from screen to screen to keep tabs. I took so much time to do too. Please fix

### 3/5 — Pretty Good but Could be Better

*2026-01-11, version 4.0*

I have been using this app for a while and I really do not have any major issues with it. The only two that come to mind are that I cant reorder the groups and whenever I try to assign a color to a tally the app crashes 95% of the time.

Also you guys should thing about adding the feature to swipe between tallies instead of having to go in and out of one and into another (at least in the same grouping).

Finally can you add a features that lets each tally reset it is goal at an assigned interval? (Weekly, monthly so on).

### 2/5 — Annoying bug that needs to be fixed

*2025-09-20, version 4.0*

Frequently, I open the app to see that many of the tallies I have created have reset to zero or switched order. It takes 5-10 minutes to manually re-enter the tally values and reorganize their order. This shouldn’t be an issue.

### 2/5 — Decimals

*2025-09-08, version 4.0*

Why would not allow decimals? Incremental increases of decimals? That’s what we need!!

### 2/5 — Rearranges Everything..

*2025-07-26, version 4.0*

I use this app everyday but I like my lists/categories to be in order. Whenever I create a new category, it gets rearranged to a random spot within the list of existing categories. Furthermore, when I EDIT a category and add a new item to tally it then gets rearranged as well into a random order that I do not wish to happen.
To combat this I have had to remake each category as a whole (some of them with 20 items) in order to keep things in their correct order. 
Stinks that I paid for the upgrade to this app and it can’t handle basics.
I do still plan to use this app as I have for years now BUT I finally wish to give feedback in an effort to be heard from devs. 
Thanks!

### 3/5 — Needs improvement

*2025-04-02, version 4.0*

It seems fine if you just have one goal. If you want to measure multiple goals, use a different app as it thinks any other categories are to be subtracted from the “main” goal as if they are negative. Also, no way to make notes or track 0.5 vs 1. It is ok if you screenshot your tallies each day before it auto-erases, but it won’t keep records or track for you so you need a spreadsheet or some other manual way to track yourself. If so, app isn’t that helpful then, other than perhaps being a quick tool throughout the day to help count. Debated 2 vs 3 stars because it has been helpful, but I am about to abandon this app for something more suitable for my needs.

### 2/5 — Group function is terrible

*2025-03-12, version 4.0*

I’m experiencing several issues with the app:
•I can’t delete or rename groups, nor can I drag them up or down.
•Holding to adjust the amount I can add doesn’t work.
•Double-tapping on the tally color causes the app to crash and close.

The only standout features are the auto-adjust goal function and possibly the graphs, but group organization is crucial. Without it, I can’t seriously invest my time in this.

At the very least, implementing any of these three features would make a big difference:
1.Edit/rename groups
2.Delete groups
3.Drag groups

I hope these issues get fixed soon because this app has a lot of potential.

### 4/5 — Watch removal

*2025-02-03, version 4.0*

The only reason I bought this app is because it synced to my watch. I never updated it and I still lost it. I’m very disappointed and would like it to sync back to my watch ASAP.

2/3/2025 Updated
Is there any chance this will return to the Apple Watch?

### 3/5 — Better than it is worse

*2024-12-15, version 4.0*

The app is incredibly hard to input, erase, open up, generally use. Once getting over this learning curve it’s decent. But with having to upgrade to premium to see history.. nah I’m out. I can justify the difficulty if it’s free, but definitely not worth paying for this

### 3/5 — Was perfect, but loss of Watch support is 😢

*2024-10-20, version 4.0*

I really wish we could have gotten a heads up about the loss of watch support. It was working fine for me and its loss is a significant downgrade in usefulness. Any chance we can get it back with a big “Unsupported - use at your own risk!” warning instead?

### 3/5 — Stopped working!

*2024-10-19, version 4.0*

Great app previously, however it has stopped working with the latest update, crashing as soon as it’s opened (using iPhone 12 mini).

### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing

*2025-02-23, version 4.0*

Paid for this app, and when I try to change colour on a task, it crashes! Apple won’t refund me either!!!! Awful

### 1/5 — No longer working properly

*2024-12-23, version 4.0*

Was adequate. Stopped working in November 2024. Look for something else.

### 1/5 — QTally

*2024-12-06, version 4.0*

I got this app because it was available on Apple Watch. Latest update doesn’t work on watches anymore… So what is now?

### 1/5 — Fix sorting

*2024-11-09, version 4.0*

After the recent update my list is no longer sorted in chronological order so I can’t find what I’m looking for. And the app crashes when I add to the counter in the daily view.

### 1/5 — Update Broke App

*2024-11-04, version 4.0*

Until the recent update the app worked perfectly for my needs but now the app instantly crashes when I try to open it. I also primarily used it on my Apple Watch, which was also removed without warning. Suffice it to say, I’ve been forced to look elsewhere since Qtally is now useless for me. I hope the developer can at least fix the issues introduced from the recent update so that app can become useable again.

### 1/5 — Bring back watch support!

*2024-10-28, version 4.0*

To reiterate what other recent reviewers have mentioned, the latest update that removes watch functionality caught me off guard and is incredibly disappointing. I’ve been using this app daily for nearly two years without any issues. However, the removal of watch capability renders the app useless for me because watch functionality was my primary use and the very reason I bought the app. Unless watch support is restored, I’ll have to find an alternative. If this feature is reinstated, I’ll be happy to change my review to five stars.

### 1/5 — Loved it till tonight

*2024-10-18, version 4.0*

Well I have been using this app for a few years now and didn’t really have any issues with it besides the fact that after tonight’s update it won’t stay open and crashes instantly now no matter what I do it won’t stay open at all.

### 1/5 — Exporting not working

*2023-09-14, version 3.9.3*

Whenever I try to export my data, a pop up is displayed which states “make sure your mail is set up correctly” without any place to input your “mail.” Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2023-04-11, version 3.9.3*

Tallies keep getting reset to zero overnight.

### 1/5 — Not syncing with Apple Watch

*2023-02-24, version 3.9.3*

Added tallies. When try to open app on Apple Watch it says to “create tallies on phone”

### 5/5 — New update causes count issues

*2026-06-08, version 4.1*

I use this app daily because it's so useful, so I'm a little disappointed that the first update in years has caused a new issue with it. It used to reflect counts immediately, but now you have to back out to for it to update/refresh. Also, I'm not sure it's actually showing the right count (for example, I added 7 and 6 today but my count shows 18 and I'm not sure where that additional 5 came from because it started at 0).

### 5/5 — Great app, use it daily

*2026-05-17, version 4.0*

Used for health symptoms to monitor changes over a long period of time

### 5/5 — Useful, versatile and well designed

*2025-04-17, version 4.0*

I might be a bit of a nerd but I’m using this app to mark my wins and losses on an online Backgammon app. 

Useful history record which tells me I’m playing too much Backgammon and need to get out more.

Seriously though, this is a well crafted app that works well and I’m glad I stumbled upon it. Other tally apps can’t hold a light to this one.

Not sure what the ‘pro’ version does but it’s well worth spending the few pennies it cost on this one.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-03-19, version 4.0*

I can see visual progress 💛💛💛

### 5/5 — APPLEWATCH SUPPORT

*2024-12-12, version 4.0*

This is the best tally app and it has so much potentials NEED WATCH SUPPORT PLEASE!!!

### 5/5 — Ổn

*2024-11-30, version 4.0*

Làm ơn thêm thanh tiện ích ra bên ngoài mà có thể đánh dấu ở ngay bên ngoài. Nếu được thêm phần đếm thời gian. Ngoài ra ấn vào sâu phải có cả dấu trừ để sửa chứ bên mình chỉ có reset. Mình sẽ mua nếu tiện ích hoàn thiện

### 5/5 — New update causes app to crash (sometimes)

*2024-11-01*

I use this app daily because it's so usedul, so I'm a little disappointed that the first update in years has caused a new issue with it. If you add multiple points at once instead of tapping each individual count, it does add the new count but the app also crashes (though I don't seem to have as much of an issue if I'm connected to wifi). I still really appreciate the app but I hope this bug gets fixed sooner than in another couple of years. 😞

### 5/5 — Best tally counter I have found

*2024-08-11, version 3.9.3*

I have prolly tried 10 - 15 tally counter apps and this one takes the cake. Its allows for well organized tally’s. Has a simple usable interface. And is nice to look at. 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-04-26, version 3.9.3*

Very good for tracking things and stuff

### 5/5 — Prawie idealne

*2024-04-21, version 3.9.3*

Gdyby można zmieniać ilość powtórzeń widocznych na jednym ekranie np 8 zamiast 6 to była by idealna, brakuje tej opcji edycji ekranu
