### 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.

### 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?

### 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.

### 2/5 — App is good but has flaws

*2022-05-02, version 2.2.1*

The app works fine, but unfortunately it does not work with androids. I purchased the unlimited package and I tried to send a poll to a group chat but after
 you vote the boxes just disappear. Good for non androids though!

### 3/5 — Comment supprimer l’application

*2021-12-31*

Bonjour, comment supprimer l’application ?

### 2/5 — Hackware

*2021-12-31, version 2.2*

Appsgone free Dec 28. Everything works.... Dec 31 (trumpet fanfare) PLUS version pushed....3/4 app disabled. At least have the honesty of calling it a beta or light version. Deleted.

### 3/5 — No puedo eliminar la App

*2021-12-31*

¿Cómo eliminar la aplicación de mi iPhone?      GRACIAS.

### 4/5 — Pretty great! Less work than Doodle.

*2021-12-29, version 2.1*

I was using Doodle but couldn’t always get responses from everyone, probably because of the extra effort of going out to a website, creating an account, adding your name, doing the poll.

I like the versatility of Doodle but I appreciate the low barrier of this app, integrated in Apple Messages.

One request I have is for ranked voting. For instance, voting on a selection of movies in order of most desire to least. That would help all participants to arrive at the best choice to satisfy the most.

Another request is to leave the poll open, so participants to add new choices like additional movies in my previous example.

Hopefully the developer is still adding features to the app and these requests make it in some day soon!

### 2/5 — Disappointed about the pricing model

*2021-12-09, version 2.1*

Gotta say. I’m quite disappointed for the price model. Every party has to purchase the app in order to participate the poll that is created by me. It doesn’t make sense to me. Why does it require everyone to pay, instead of the poll host ? It can be a model similar to zoom but it isn’t.

### 3/5 — Voting participants have to pay for the app too

*2021-11-30, version 2.1*

I’m regretting my decision to buy this app simply because the people I sent the poll to are required to buy the app in order to vote.

### 1/5 — Can’t delete

*2021-11-06, version 2.1*

Others need to download to use. Also no way to delete app. If there is a way I’d like to know

### 4/5 — 3 star app with 4 star rating because it’s free

*2021-11-04, version 2.1*

Lightweight app that is simple to use, almost to a fault.  I would be more than willing to pay for this app if it could do the following:

1) allow participants to see voting selections (with option to turn this on or off)
2) allow selecting multiple options
3) allow adding more than 4 choices

### 3/5 — Requires everyone else to download the app

*2021-08-11, version 2.1*

This is a good app, but it’s inconvenient to make all your friends download the app to use it. I ended it up just making a poll on a different site because people don’t want to download another app

### 4/5 — Wish you could vote for more than one!

*2020-09-07, version 2.1*

Good so far! Just wish you can vote for more than one option

### 1/5 — Ap disappearing after submitting vote

*2020-08-04, version 2.1*

I can never know what the results are

### 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

### 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

### 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?

### 1/5 — Meh

*2022-10-07, version 2.2.1*

Meh

### 1/5 — Did not get free upgrade

*2022-01-02, version 2.2.1*

I bought before the last two updates and I don’t have tally+ for free like the updates say

### 1/5 — Can’t delete app

*2021-12-28, version 2.1*

There is no way to delete the app. Once you download it, it’s stuck on your phone.
How do you delete the app? Multiple people have asked this question in the reviews with no answer from developer.

### 1/5 — Pointless because everyone needs to buy it

*2021-12-19, version 2.1*

I made a poll and my friend couldn’t vote unless they also bought the app. It makes sense to make them pay if they want to create a poll, but to vote? That’s stupid. What a ripoff.

### 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!!!

### 5/5 — Great. Simple. Lightweight polling app!

*2022-01-15, version 2.2.1*

Exactly what I needed to make decisions in my group chat of high school friends. Also can be a funny way to spice up a conversation.

### 5/5 — Super good

*2021-06-12, version 2.1*

Super great app! Make sure to keep making more great apps

### 5/5 — Amazing 10/10

*2021-05-12, version 2.1*

This is one of the best apps I’ve ever downloaded it’s so easy to use and almost downloads instantly. It would be nice if friends didn’t also have to download the app but I’m pretty sure that’s either out of their control or is for profit which would be smart

### 5/5 — I never write reviews.  I mean never ever

*2021-03-05, version 2.1*

But this app is great!  Easy to use.  
No fluff, no ads...simple, clean and concise. 
I use it for group texts and it works great!
Thank you!

### 5/5 — ......?

*2020-04-21, version 2.1*

How do you open a poll?

### 5/5 — Quick & easy

*2020-04-05, version 2.1*

The app is really easy to use. I just have one question - how do you go back to see previous tally’s created in the same message & not only the current tally. Thanks

### 5/5 — This app/widget is pretty awesome

*2020-03-24, version 2.1*

I was using VoteUp before and I hate that app, it is not user friendly and it looks like it was created like a decade ago. This voting system is easy to send in an iMessage group chat to make decisions with an indecisive group of friends and family! 

Some other options might be useful functions such as a rating poling, where you could use a sliding scale to rank things from 1 to 10. This function along with the current system of ballot voting for one item from a list would be a good addition in my opinion.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2019-02-14, version 2.0*

I really enjoy using this app. I’ve had a lot of fun creating polls with friends. And must say it’s nice to have an app where the developer actively makes changes in response to any complaints. That being said, I personally have never encountered any issues with the app. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to make a poll (for any reason, work or fun).

### 5/5 — Simple and easy to use

*2018-12-16, version 2.0*

The app is fairly straightforward - just create a poll, type in the question and options, and send it. It’s not fancy or complicated, but its simple interface works well for basic queries. Also, speaking from experience, the developer is fairly good at responding to bugs and fixing them. Overall, if you’re just looking for a simple way to quickly survey your friends, this is a great app to use.
