No one seems to give attention to budgeting vices, like snacking, alcoholic drinks, hours of TV or video games, etc. Most of us don’t want to give those things up entirely but they need to be kept in check. This app gets painfully close to being able to do that…but the counter reset always goes to zero. Guess I need to keep looking or create an app myself. 😑 ### 4/5 — Great customer service Data disappeared *2026-04-24* I use it daily but wish they would go back to the entry system from before the update. So many taps needed to record an item with a time now. Great app had an issue where I woke up to no data in the app. When I restored the data it duplicated. The next morning it duplicated again. Developer responded and worked with me over several days on a fix and it’s now working properly again. Very fast customer service with a good outcome! **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! The way you log entries hasn’t changed, so I’m curious where it feels like it’s taking more taps now. Could you share a bit more detail? I’d love to look into it. Your data will not be lost. Please try Data Recovery in the Settings page, or contact support via email. iapp605+tally@gmail.com ### 5/5 — 역카운팅 *2026-04-21* 기능 중에 30/30, 29/30, 28/30 이런식으로 가능하게 해주세요 **Developer response:** 잘 이해가 되지 않습니다. 지금은 이렇게 표시되고 있는데요. 말씀하신 것이 홈 화면인가요? 홈 화면에서 ‘더보기’ 버튼을 누르면 다양한 스타일을 선택할 수 있습니다. ### 5/5 — Эх *2026-04-21* Приложение лучшее как бы оплатить только из России **Developer response:** Спасибо за хороший отзыв! Думаю, вам нужно просто привязать способ оплаты в аккаунте App Store. ### 5/5 — A great app that’s continually improved *2026-04-10, version 3.22.1* No subscriptions, and the developer is always working on this app, fixing and adding features. ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP *2026-03-31* For all the trackers and data lovers. THIS. IS. THE. ONE. Constant updates, be try cool custom widgets, On top of that a one time payment of only 5 or 6 dollars opposed to monthly subscriptions is just unbeatable. 1000% recommended. So glad I found this. Big applause to the dev team! ### 5/5 — めっちゃ良いです！ *2026-03-30* とても使いやすいです！ 機能のリクエストなのですが、記録が0の時もカレンダーで表示されるようにして欲しいです。 記録すること自体が途切れると、その時点でやらなくなる可能性が高くなってしまうので、、、 よろしくお願いします！ **Developer response:** ありがとうございます！ご要望については検討させていただきます。おそらく今後追加する予定です。 ### 5/5 — Great Tool *2026-03-28* I’ve been using this as a simple tracker for caloric intake throughout the day, but I can already tell this app has would be great for many different purposes. Its simplicity makes it adaptable and customizable for endless uses, so your imagination is the only limit. I look forward to finding more ways to integrate this powerful little tool into my daily life! Also worth nothing that I love the “pay once and use forever” subscription model (this is a sound investment!). The developer deserves high marks, too—I recently submitted feedback after a version update and they actually took the time to send a very helpful response. ### 5/5 — ウィジェットに追加できる *2026-03-23* ウィジェットでいろんなカウンターを追加できるのでとても重宝しています ### 5/5 — 🎉 *2026-03-23* 希望可以新增初始值的設定，並讓他不會計算進變化量裡面 例如:我要設定每天存錢的記錄,可以在初始值直接設定本來撲滿裡的錢,而不會干擾最開始第一個月的統計數字 **Developer response:** 現在就可以哦，創建計數器的時候設置初始值，或者在歷史記錄頁面左滑編輯第一條記錄 ### 5/5 — Extremely functional app that keeps improving. *2026-02-28* This app is user-friendly, full of functionality, greatly customizable, and **Developer response:** Thank you very much! :) ### 5/5 — 使えない *2026-02-19* 新しい項目を作成しても保存されない(設定をミスったかと思って再度設定しようとするとすでにあります的なメッセージが出て進めない) **Developer response:** こんにちは。 「すでに存在します」という表示は、同じ名前のカウンターが既に登録されている可能性があります。 そのまま「続行」をタップして保存することも可能です。 もし正常に保存できない場合は、iapp605+tally@gmail.com までご連絡ください。 ### 5/5 — 제가 생각한 앱에 가장 가까운 앱입니다. *2026-02-17* 해빗트래커 중에 제가 생각한 것에 가장 가깝습니다. 지속적인 업데이트도 좋고 더욱 기대가 됩니다. ### 2/5 — シンプルのウィジェット *2026-02-15* アップデートしたらシンプルのウィジェットの時間経過がうまく反映していません。 また今までは秒数まで表示されていたが、それがなくなりました。秒数表示を復活してほしい **Developer response:** フィードバックありがとうございます。 以前のように秒数まで表示される仕様に戻す予定です。 ご不便をおかけして申し訳ありませんが、今しばらくお待ちください。 ### 4/5 — Pretty good tally tracker *2026-02-08, version 3.19.0* I like the app generally. A few UI strings show in Chinese instead of English. I’d like to be able to import data from another app. Standard CSV with datetimes, quantities ### 5/5 — Au top!! *2026-02-07* Interface claire, mise à jour régulière, des tas de type de compteurs disponibles, application Watch très pratique. Bravo au développeur. **Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre soutien ! Je suis ravi que l’application et la version Watch vous plaisent. Cela me motive à continuer à l’améliorer. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-02-06, version 3.18.1* Must use this . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — They removed ability to + or - on a widget without unlocking your phone. *2026-08-13* Update August 13 2026: I just updated the app, and this feature is STILL not working! You used to be able to swipe from your Lock Screen to your widget (without unlocking your phone) and click the + or - on the widget. Now it won’t let you unless you unlock your phone first. Maddening. If you swipe to your widgets from your Lock Screen, and try to click + or -, your phone prompts you to unlock the phone in order to add or subtract from the tally widget. Very frustrating! Please BRING BACK the function where you can + or - without unlocking the phone. **Developer response:** Hi, This feature is still available. In addition to the customizable widgets, the app provides 7 free widgets that you can use without upgrading. You can also use one customizable widget for free. You can swipe from the Lock Screen to the widgets screen and tap the + button directly without unlocking your phone. However, if your device is running a version earlier than iOS 17, interactive buttons are not supported due to system limitations. If you’re referring to the older type of widget that appeared in Notification Center, that widget has been removed because Apple’s current development tools no longer support it. If you’re using iOS 17 or later and the + button is still asking you to unlock your phone, please let me know your iOS version and I’ll look into it. You can contact email iapp605+tally@gmail.com ### 1/5 — widgets *2026-03-06, version 3.19.6* You have to pay to get widget. Ridiculous. I'm not paying for basic features. ### 1/5 — They removed ability to + or - without unlocking your phone. *2026-02-23, version 3.19.3* If you swipe to your widgets from your Lock Screen, and try to click + or -, your phone prompts you to unlock the phone in order to add or subtract from the tally widget. Very frustrating! Please BRING BACK the function where you can + or - without unlocking the phone. ### 1/5 — Stopped working with Apple Watch *2025-11-27* Shouldn’t have bought :( **Developer response:** I‘m sorry for the problem of synchronization with the watch. I will submit a version in the next two days to see if it can be solved. ### 1/5 — 워치에서 사용안됨 *2024-11-08* 구매어그로,,, 사용불가하다는 리뷰 다수 워치에서 사용하려는 분들은 taptic이라는 어플 쓰세요~! **Developer response:** 불편을 드려서 죄송합니다. 어떤 문제가 있었는지 말씀해 주시겠어요? ### 1/5 — I do NOT recommend! *2024-06-08* I am not someone who normally writes reviews, and I’m definitely not the a person who would normally say something bad. But I was keeping track of some very important (to me) information, and I go to bed last night, and wake up to see that the app updated, and deleted ALL of my findings and I am very disappointed and honestly kinda upset that this happened! There are more apps like this out there and I will be downloading a new one and deleting this app! **Developer response:** Your data will not be lost. Please try restarting. If iCloud sync is enabled, the database will automatically rebuild. You can also contact me via email for fast support: iapp605+tally@gmail.com ### 1/5 — Be Aware *2024-05-02, version 3.2.2* You use it for a while and then they force you to make a purchase with constant pop ups. ### 1/5 — Apps a rip off *2024-03-31, version 3.1.1* It’s advertisement insinuates that it has a home screen widget. You cannot access this widget until you pay for pro. Once you purchase pro then it becomes clear that it is a widget that is only available inside the app not on your actual phones Home Screen. Defeating the whole purpose of me purchasing this app. 👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Just purchase *2024-03-08, version 3.1.1* Could not update data to my iphone ### 1/5 — Please change the last update *2024-02-04, version 3.1.0* I used this app for a long time and used the chart feature as it would keep track of everything for me. Since the last update I’m no longer able to use this app for the reason I bought it. I’m a premium member and not happy with this. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 好很好 *2026-09-04* 终于找到一个合心意的打卡器了，基本上我需求的都有，画面也很简洁好看，看得出来是很用心的在研发，只是有的地方不是很明白，发私信问了下，非常非常有耐心的解答了！立马过来给个好评！ ### 5/5 — font option please *2026-09-02* it’s too small to see. execept that. I like it. **Developer response:** It’s not that I don’t want to fix it — unfortunately, this isn’t something I can change on the app side. The app uses the standard system layout and adapts normally to different screen sizes. You should be able to resolve the issue by adjusting your screen resolution or display scaling settings. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for understanding. ### 5/5 — Tally Pro update *2026-08-13* A nice recent update to a great colorful app i have been using for 6 years provided daily history easily viewable on a calendar to keep track of weekly and monthly progress Keep up the great work Simon ! Also Simon got back to me about a question and resolved it the same day via email ✨ **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review! Using the app for 6 years is truly the greatest support and recognition I could ask for. I really appreciate you being with the app for all these years! ### 5/5 — font option please *2026-08-07* it’s too small to see. execept that. I like it. ### 5/5 — 好评&备注？ *2026-08-04* 我是做销售的，然后我们每晚都要写业绩分析包括接待客户多少组与成交多少组，这个就超级方便，每次接待一个就点一下，成交可以再建一个计数器，每成交一单就点一下，手动输入也很好方便算我每个月的销售额目标和达成情况，页面很简洁，还有数据分析，可以看我每天每月销售的情况。不过要是在日历上点日期可以备注描述些什么就好了，不知道是不是升级版的功能，不过不充会员我也觉得很够用了！很喜欢。 **Developer response:** 谢谢好评，日历那里长按日期可以写备注，或者在首页列表长按+按钮会弹出输入页面 ### 5/5 — 毎日大変便利に使わせていただいています！ *2026-07-23* 筋トレのレップ数記録に重宝しており、特に「目標値を超えても記録できる点」がすごく気に入っています。 1点、もし可能でしたら機能のご要望がございます。 「データインサイト」の画面に、初めて記録した日から今日までの達成率（％）が自動表示される機能を追加していただけないでしょうか？ 現在表示されている「現在まで」の日数と「記録日数」から自分で計算することもできるのですが、ここがパーセンテージでパッと視覚化されると、毎日のモチベーションがさらに上がると感じています！ 希望が叶わなくても、もちろんこれからも使い続けるつもりです。 いつも素敵なアプリをありがとうございます！これからも応援しています。 ### 5/5 — Tolle Widgets, alles auf einen Blick *2026-07-01* Ich liebe diese App. Sie ist einfach zu bedienen, sieht schön aus und errechnet meinen prozentualen Fortschritt egal wie krumm meine Soll und Ist Werte sind, sodass ich genau weiß, wo ich stehe. Toll wäre, wenn man einen Zähler erstellen könnte, der mehrere Zähler (zum Beispiel der gleichen Gruppe) zusammen rechnet. Und wenn man das Ziel automatisch mitwachsen lassen kann, wenn zum Beispiel alle x Tage etwas Neues veröffentlicht wird, das man lesen will, etc. (Oder falls eins davon schon geht, mir jemand sagt wie) Macht weiter so! Danke für diesen praktischen kleinen Helfer! **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Derzeit ist das Diagramm für Gruppentrends verfügbar, mit dem Daten mehrerer Zähler zusammengefasst werden können – dies sollte Ihren Anforderungen genügen. Leider wird die automatische Erhöhung der Zielwerte vorläufig noch nicht unterstützt. ### 5/5 — Please give us cute themes/skins! *2026-05-26* A very good app. Please give us cute themes like pink, purple, and green. More practically, I wish we could group folders. The more casual tasks I track (progress reading a book, good habits) the more i need to separate it from actual productivity goals (finish # amount in this category) ### 5/5 — すごく良いです！ *2026-05-06* 2026/05/06 Apple Watchのタイマー計測、すぐに対応してくださってありがとうございます！感激です🥹早速使わせてもらってます！ 2026/05/04 Apple Watchにも対応していてすごくありがたいです！グラフが細かく分析できてワクワクします。 要望があります！ もし可能ならば、経過時間をカウントするカウンターを、Apple Watchからもタイマーを起動して記録がつけられるようにしてほしいです。 現在では、Apple Watchから該当のカウンターをタップした時に、数字を入力することしかできないので、 Apple Watchでタイマーを起動→終了までの経過時間を記録してくれると嬉しいなと思います。 （もし勘違いで、できたらすみません！） ### 5/5 — GitHub colors and fade *2026-04-30* Дорогой друг пожалуйста добавьте GitHub цвета и уберите искажения с wallpaper .
