This app is exactly what I needed. It’s as simple as you want it and does still let you be detailed where it matters. Perfect for what I need!

### 5/5 — The Little stuff

*2023-09-13, version 2.2.1*

I love it already but the thing that could make it EPIC would be different font options and colors for each tally section. Besides more customization, it’s great! Thanks for making it!

### 5/5 — Great for keeping track of multiple things!

Thanks for creating this easy-to-use app!

### 5/5 — Great App

I use it all the time in construction for keeping track of items

### 5/5 — God Sent

*2022-12-05, version 2.2.1*

The sound the ticker makes when you tally something is phenomenal. Literally the best tally sound on the App Store. Nothing else compares. 

Additionally, it is extremely handy for tallying multiple things at once and setting intervals for whatever you might be counting. I’ve used this app for two jobs now, one in the field and one in the office, and it is perfect for everything.

### 5/5 — Still a wonderful app

*2022-11-19, version 2.2.1*

I’m a knitter and this app is the one I reach for whenever I need to count rows and repeats. It hasn’t been updated for a while, but then I haven’t had any issues with it. Thanks for putting this out there!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2022-11-18, version 2.2.1*

I use this to track monthly events. Exactly what I was looking for and it is simple and easy to use and set-up. Can customize to fit your needs!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — So glitchy

*2020-10-21, version 2.2.1*

We use it to count capacity in a retail store. It will frequently jump to a much greater or lesser number throughout the day when we just push + or - once. It is highly frustrating when we are at a capacity of 50 and it decreases by 20, 30, or more when we were just adjusting it for a few. We have checked all setting to make sure everything is set to 1 step at a time, have deleted and reinstalled the app several times, and nothing helps. This is a problem all day, everyday, and we have been using it since Mid-June.

### 1/5 — Sync

*2020-06-02, version 2.2.1*

Sync does not work properly

### 1/5 — Something is up...

*2016-09-18, version 2.1*

This seems like a great app from the reviews and the simplicity of it. Maybe it's the new OS but it's crashing constantly and buggy. Trying to add a picture crashes it. Hopefully we'll see it fixed to its previous glory.

### 1/5 — Bug in the app

*2015-11-04*

Pressing the Reset button following by pressing Cancel button still resulted in setting 0 to almost all counters (why not all?) - beware of this bug!

### 2/5 — Too Simple, lacks functionality

*2021-01-25, version 2.2.1*

I purchased this assuming it packed some functionality, but very disappointed. Not sure if it's worth enough to pay a price when there many free apps with more functionality.

### 2/5 — Typing glitch for an app that's a dollar.

*2016-12-18, version 2.1*

So far so good! I wish it would let you divide it up by days. I need to track sales day to day but I would like to be able to go back to a specific day to see the numbers for that day. Also, super glitchy when you add the name for a tally. You have to click on the bar that says name and the keyboard comes up and then you have to click it again to actually start typing it also keeps disappearing in the middle of typing. FIX THIS!!! Not even a free app.

### 2/5 — Bug

*2016-07-29*

Why keyboard close then typing?

### 2/5 — Well organized, however ...

*2016-07-04, version 2.1*

I would like to say that this app has been helpful in keeping tasks I have personally for myself, however something the developer could work on and could help enhance the app, would try to make the app more visual appealing as it's boring and this would encourage others to use you're app more often. Another thing to point out, is that this app doesn't have a reminder for work that needs to be done or you need to keep track of. Overall, I've liked this app for a number of reasons but the lack of visual appeal makes the app kind of vague.

### 3/5 — Prepare to be nagged constantly to review the app after purchase

*2026-07-03, version 3.1*

I’m hopeful that the app will stop nagging after this review. From the moment I opened the app after paying, I was frequently interrupted by the following prompt,
“Note from developer
This app was made by a college student. Please, please, please rate and review my app. A good review gives me the power to continue updating this app and make it even better for YOU. It only takes a couple of seconds:)”
The options provided are “Later” and “Now”.  When I finally got sick of clicking “Later” I found that “Now” is not a functional button. The app is fairly simple and works well. I wish there was a way to prevent the pop-up that focuses on a single counter, because I often accidentally trigger that function and it interferes with counting. I would rated this app five stars if the above mentioned annoyances were resolved.

### 3/5 — One annoying drawback or I’d give 5 stars

*2020-08-03*

I wanted a simple, easy to use counter for tasks. This is almost the best. The one annoying drawback is not being able to turn off the “Are you sure you want to reset?” question each time you reset a counter. I’m usually exercising or practicing my guitar when I use this and it can be irritating when you’re working.
The reset button is small and in the corner. I had to aim carefully to tap it. Yes I’m sure!
Maybe it could be bigger also, like when I’m using the counter to count “rounds” hitting my heavy bag I don’t have to aim precisely at a tiny button, and then hit OK every time.
Make it simpler and quicker to reset a counter and I’d say it’s the best, easiest-to-use counter app.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very useful for daily goals

*2026-03-01, version 2.2.1*

This app helps me compete with myself!

Very effective replacement for something I was doing manually. Not having to waste a daily sticky note, not to mention saved ink and lost pens, will save several tons of landfill and co2 emissions.

### 5/5 — Simple and intuitive

*2026-02-13, version 2.2.1*

The counter app is exactly what you need.

### 5/5 — Simple & effective!

*2026-01-25, version 2.2.1*

Incredibly handy & used-friendly app

### 5/5 — The Tool You Wish You Had

*2026-01-13, version 2.2.1*

Yes, the title is right! How many times have I found myself needed to keep count of something? And how many attempts at using random apps to do these tasks? This is a great app. I started using it years ago and just now decided to review (sorry devs!) but yes this app has had a few upgrades since I last used it and it is even better!

### 5/5 — Simple

*2026-01-07, version 2.2.1*

It works. Perfect.

### 5/5 — Ramblin

*2025-08-23, version 2.2.1*

Love the Tally Counter app!  Use it daily for counting my sets of pushups, planks, etc.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-06-20, version 2.2.1*

I really need to keep count of various things and this app helps me do that properly.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-03-14, version 2.2.1*

M easy to use

### 5/5 — Simple and works

*2025-02-11, version 2.2.1*

Great app does what it says in an uncluttered and straightforward way.

### 5/5 — Easy to use and handy

*2025-01-12, version 2.2.1*

Needed a simple counter to insert into a video. This counter is perfect for that. It uses nice clean font with the option of a plain background.  It supports multiple counters which can be named. The start, increment and decrement values can be set for each counter, and there’s a handy reset (with confirmation) if needed.  I used the iPhone screen recording feature to capture the count as the events happened on a playback screen on another device, then edited to fit into the Picture in Picture. While the increment buttons are nice and big (which helps when running a counter while looking at something away from the phone) I think a great feature would be to repurpose the hard volume buttons as clickers, this would be useful when running the counter in a dark, shaky environment, like a moving car.  Great utility app to have in your toolbox!
