### 1/5 — You can’t delete the app!

*2025-10-08, version 2.3*

This app is a lie and a stinking cheat!! Ugh. I loved it at first but then I saw that you can only do 1 poll every 24hrs!!!! I tried to delete it but there is no way or button!!!! take my advice and DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — expensive with sub par options

*2025-10-07, version 2.3*

$5 for it to only allow 4 options in a photo poll - very limiting.

### 1/5 — GREAT APPP

*2025-06-09, version 2.3*

this was the most amazing app ever CREATED it changed my world drastically i went from not knowing what to eat for days to having my friends help pick out a place and i always go home with a full tummy and if you have anything bad to say about it. Hush your bisc! 
highly recommend

### 5/5 — I love this app my heart grew twice its size!!!!

*2025-06-09, version 2.3*

I love this app it’s so well thought out! Helps me make the hard decision that I can’t do alone. This help so much!!! I would die if it was not made!!!

### 2/5 — Tally+ upgrade stopped working, app trying to me make me buy it… but I’m grandfathered!

*2025-02-25, version 2.2.1*

Unfortunately, the Tally+ upgrade stopped working and now the app is actually trying to make me buy it despite my being grandfathered. This happened after I had to replace my old device sand get a new one. Suddenly I’m having this problem. And the support link doesn’t work either. I don’t know if the app developer is still active as it’s been 3 years since last activity. It would be very nice to have the problem fixed.

### 1/5 — Advice for how to delete does not work

*2025-02-20, version 2.2.1*

There is no “…” button as suggested, please update to add availability to delete

### 3/5 — Changing the poll once posted

*2024-06-20, version 2.2.1*

How are people in my text thread changing the tally poll once I post it?

### 1/5 — Def need money

*2023-12-11, version 2.2.1*

Get a free one that’s not this

### 1/5 — Delete

*2022-12-30, version 2.2.1*

How do you delete this app?

### 4/5 — Enjoyed the app so far but,

*2022-11-22, version 2.2.1*

I can’t seem to be able to purchase Tally+, every time I go to try I just get a “Try again later” message. I’m really interested in having it be unlimited as I use it tally to quiz my team on different topics, please reach out to me with a solution if possible. Also it would be cool to have setting you can manipulate to allow things like multiple answers and to be able to see who voted from time to time. I like that your character limits are high on the question prompt but on the answers it seems to lack as after to many characters all you can see is (….). Other than that you did a great job, it’s been very useful.
