This app is way too convoluted if you’re just trying to track one thing. ### 3/5 — Subscription *2025-05-31, version 10.0* Have some nerve asking for subscription I have no problem paying a dollar or two for the app but asking 10$ a month is insane ### 3/5 — Needs A Function Then 5-Stars *2025-04-20, version 10.0* Nice APP. Used for years. Sometimes it simply will not SYNC when switching watches; requires restarting the watch. All could be fixed with a manual SYNC function as is I use with another APP. ### 5/5 — Easy to Keep track of all sorts of stuff *2025-02-28, version 10.0* You’d be surprised how handy an app like this is. Good widgets too so you can count right from the lock screen (face ID required). You won’t be disappointed. ### 3/5 — Great app but not Apple Watch compatible *2025-01-15, version 10.0* The app is really good, but I wish it were compatible with my Apple Watch. It’s kind of a pain unlocking my phone every time to click. BUT having said that, the app is nice and simple and clean. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2025-01-01* I had high hopes for this app, especially since some of the competitors collect so much data. I’ve had it for maybe 10 minutes and have already found dealbreakers. They are: —The font of the word for the item you’re tracking truly is too small. —With Pro, you only get 12 predefined colors to choose from and do not have the ability to create your own color from a color wheel. Basic colors like pink are missing, yet inexplicably there are two almost identical shades of red and several shades of similar greens and blue-greens. Very frustrating, particularly if you already use a color system of your own across multiple apps and analog systems. —Each tally gets a timestamp. You can turn off the display of the timestamp, but there appears to be no way to adjust the time, or at least it’s so unintuitive that after much searching, I cannot find a way to do so. This is a problem if you want to tally in chunks during the day or do it in the evening for occurrences during the day or if you simply forget and then make the entry later. This is basic stuff, and I don’t understand why it is not part of the app. Unfortunately, they are large enough flaws that it’s a net-negative for me. I’d love to check out this app in the future and see that it’s improved and update my review and likely become a subscriber or a lifetime purchaser (it’s too pricey for what it currently is), but it’s a pass for me now. In its favor, here are some of the positives: —Reasonable first-year price of less than $8 at the time of this writing, with an option for a lifetime purchase option. —Data not collected. Privacy is vital. Do you really want to be sharing those things you’re currently logging with developers who are selling your data and tracking you across the web? I sure don’t. —Apple watch app. This is a must for me. ### 5/5 — Great functionalities, great interface! *2024-12-30* Best tally app I’ve ever tried. Just get it! ### 5/5 — The widgets are super useful! *2024-12-26, version 10.0* Great app, the widgets make it really easy to set up a habit tracking page as one of your home pages. Shortcut automations are great too. ### 3/5 — Handy app *2024-11-26, version 10.0* I’d give it more stars if the watch widget updated itself automatically if the phone was used. For example, I may use my phone to reset a habit counter at the end of the day or occasionally increment another. Still, the watch widget never reflects the update until I open it. ### 5/5 — How to rate infinite stars *2024-11-25, version 10.0* It’s a joke, i told the joke because I love this thing. For some reason when I downloaded it it felt like a blessing from God ### 3/5 — Great app in core functionality *2024-11-03, version 10.0* Sadly it doesn’t have any kind of time log or statistics like counted item per day etc. ### 3/5 — Feature Request *2024-10-21, version 9.1.1* As mentioned by others, would love the feature to be able to track a daily habit by reseti g the count daily and being able to see daily history. Would give five stars if this was added. The app “Tally” by “Reflective Technologies” does this already but their widgets and ui are not as good as yours. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2024-10-19, version 9.1.1* I’m really enjoying how minimal/simple it is. I love how straight to the point and direct this app is. It’s great! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Welp *2026-08-18* The one feature I would want from it (being on my watch) is ofc behind the paywall. I don't even know yet if it would be good use on a watch, I am not ready to sign up to find out. Pass ### 1/5 — Complication refresh on watch *2026-08-05, version 15.0.5* The complication on the watch never updates unless you open the app again on the watch. An annoying bug on the app side that makes using the complications extra work ### 1/5 — Dude… *2026-04-28* Pen and paper, problem solved. There’s no way you’re genuinely expecting people to pay fifty bucks for this… ### 1/5 — Some suggestions *2025-08-26* Add auto reset at (specific hour) since I goto sleep at 3am so it should reset at 4am. Also add a reset button instead of hiding it in a context menu since you have plenty of space. Swipe is great for iPad/iPhone but I’m using it on a Mac so I prefer a + - button for mouse clicks. The biggest downside is that iCloud syncing doesn’t work sometimes. I have to force close both apps on both devices and launch again to force sync. Also this is probably not the developers fault, but widgets are sometimes not in sync with the main app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-07-13, version 11.1.1* It won’t move on to the next day. If I manually change the date I lose my progress. They must be using AI to update their code. Sadly, I bought a lifetime subscription. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — No show on iPhone *2025-06-21* Tally list for items doesn’t show up on iPhone. Previously it used to. Now it doesn’t anymore. Highly unsatisfied. ### 1/5 — Gag *2025-01-27, version 10.0* You can only add 1 file of talleys before they tell you to by the premium, I ain’t buying no premium for a counter ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2023-12-31, version 6.0.1* I wanted a simple counting app that I can also use on my Apple Watch. I can understand a fee to purchase but to charge a yearly subscription for a counter? lol no thx ### 1/5 — Not as advertised *2023-12-03, version 6.0* Not intuitively designed. I want to record various simple mantras but it appears that the app doesn’t work, even for this simple function, unless I subscribe monthly. ### 1/5 — Subscription model is absurd greed *2023-10-05, version 5.1* In what universe does this app warrant a subscription model? You provide no ongoing service whatsoever. Sync is through iCloud, not your servers, and none of the pro features impose any costs on you, either. Just sheer greed and stupidity that people actually pay this nonsense. I’d happily pay a one-time fee just to access the shortcut actions, but $5/year in perpetuity for you to do literally nothing more? Get real. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-10, version 15.0.5* Completely customizable. Helps me keep track of many different things. ### 5/5 — Title *2026-05-17, version 15.0.3* Review ### 5/5 — Excellent counter/tracker! *2026-01-18* My one request would be to be able to move items from one tally set to another - but other than that, it has every conceivable feature I could want. It's robust, easy to use, and allows me to track as many things as I need. It was well worth the very reasonable lifetime fee! ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-11-26* Great app, only hiccup is I wish I could count on decimals as well, great for adding up my hours worked and keeping track of partial hours! Even if only 0.5 increments! ### 5/5 — Useful App *2025-10-03, version 12.0.3* Had trouble with the update, but now it works fine. ### 5/5 — What sets it apart *2025-09-29, version 12.0.2* I love the widgets!! It’s the only one on the App Store with it! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2025-09-20, version 12.0.1* My second app from Agile Tortoise (after Drafts). Great developer, super high-quality product. I paid the one-time $30 for this largely based on my impression of him and his work. Thanks!! ### 5/5 — Great app that does what's on the tin and has more features than you'd think *2025-09-14* It's super convenient for tracking all sorts of things and has a ton of ways to adjust tallies like what direction it goes and how many steps when you tap or swipe. I'd say it's the ideal app for its namesake. Not surprising since it comes from the same folks who made Drafts ### 5/5 — So so so so good *2025-05-22* Honestly I’d rate it even higher if I could. No notes! Better than all other tally / checklist type apps. Makes my productivity through the roof by giving me a visual goal and inch my way towards them. Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Actually free - Great Features - Good UI *2025-03-17, version 10.0* Actually free. Works perfect with a solid UI. Good feature set. Other apps in this genre are $10-15 to remove ads. SUPPORT THIS DEVELOPER. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
