Tryout

There’s no way to try before you buy. I wanted to see how this worked on the Apple Watch to see how easy it might be, but I can’t try it out so I will not buy.

Can’t export data

I paid for this app with the intention to track things and occasionally export the data. At one point, maybe 1-2 years ago, I was able to export to Dropbox. Now the “Link to Dropbox” option is still there but it doesn’t do anything, it registers a tap but nothing happens. I have Dropbox installed and am logged in. Backing up to iCloud doesn’t actually give you a file you can use. Now I’m faced with the tedious task of having to manually input everything I’ve been tracking into a spreadsheet. As soon as I do I’ll be ditching this app for good.

No Tally reset button

You can only track 3 things until they make you pay. And there is no way to reset the tally if you accidentally marked it too many times, at least not on the free version.

Undo feature

I love using the app, but there’s one thing that’s missing on the app that would be very beneficial. That will be an undo button, to help fix any unwanted tallies or clicks made by mistake.

One time payment option please!

This app looks like what I need but I don’t want another subscription service. Would gladly pay a one-time purchase though

Works well now

Good app

App completely stopped working

I have been a Tally customer for years, and pay for the app. It entirely stopped working over a month ago — as in, literally none of the buttons in the app do anything anymore — and there is no way to reach anyone in Tally support. Do not download or purchase this app.

Watch app crashes

I specifically chose this app over other tally counters due to its Apple Watch compatibility, however, the app simply does not launch on my Apple Watch Series 5

Simple and works

I love the different colors and calendar feature.

Not great for people who cross time zones often

I am a paid subscriber and have found Tally to be genuinely helpful for staying consistent with micro habits.

One issue I keep running into as a frequent traveler: tallies appear to be tied to time zones rather than locked to calendar days. Because I move between time zones often, my historical data shifts - habits show as double-completed on one day and missed on another, even though I actually completed them once per day.

Ideally, once a tally is completed for a calendar day (e.g. February 1), that day should be permanently locked, regardless of later time zone changes. Right now, my habit history feels unstable when it should be fixed and reliable.

I wish I could submit this via the in-app support/feedback option, but that form doesn’t appear to work, so sharing it here instead. Would love to see this fixed as an update.

Should be 0 stars

The apps basic version only allows you to track 3 habits. If you want more you have to pay a $30/year subscription (if you pay for the discounted rate) to get “unlimited” but from other reviews I’ve read it sounds buggy once you pay for it. Other issue, if it works, you can’t undo any tallies you have, so if you accidentally add a tally to the wrong habit get wrekt your numbers will always be off. Should be simple to add a way to edit your tallies if needed and it would go a long way. And only giving 3 habits to track seems like it’s just a money grab. Save your money and time and use a different app.

So easy to use

Great app, but I wish the premium version wasn’t so expensive! $60/year?! I’ve been using it for habit tracking and tracking spending. Intuitive and has appealing graphics.

not worth it

stupidly paid for some kind of bundle i thought would be worth it months ago. waste of money for the features available. it’s a simple app, which is fine, but when i clicked into ‘all plans’ in my apple subscriptions it turns out i’m paying for the most expensive one. and nothing tells me what this plan includes.

i also would really like to be able to sort my items by ‘last done’ but when i hit ‘last’ in the sort order, it seems to put them in some kind of random order. definitely not last to most recent or vice versa. could be worth it for you if you pay the most basic price but i’ve already cancelled my plan and will stop using it when it expires. just seems shady to me.

Good tracker, paid for premium but no premium access

I liked the tracker on the free trial and wanted to track more items. I paid for the premium version and when the premium options are selected it only offers to purchase premium again. Apple subscription shows I’ve paid. In the app it’s not registering or finding a restored purchase.

I’ve restarted the app and my phone. I’ve emailed support at the address suggested in the app and the one the dev posted here for another user with the same problem. No answers even given time off for the holidays. I’d love to continue using the app, but I might have to consider the money lost and find another app.

Beware!

I was so excited to use this app, but now I will not recommend it to anyone. In the app, I received a promotional offer of $7.49 for a year of premium. I took it, because that seemed like a great deal. I was charged, and Apple showed my subscription in my subscription settings. My app still showed I had the free, basic plan, even after closing the app, restarting, and even giving it a day to see if it registered. Clicking “Restore purchases” says they can’t find a subscription.

No big deal, I’ll just contact app support. Surely they’ll help. Wrong. I’ve sent multiple requests AND included screenshots of both my subscription and the app saying I still have the basic plan. Silence. No response at all. Apple also will not refund me, so I’ve just given this company $7.49 for no reason. Thank goodness I didn’t pay full price.

Undo needed

Wish there was an “undo” button for accidental clicks/tallies

Scammers

Paid for a yearlong subscription. App essentially stopped working, I deleted and redownloaded and they charged me again. Absolute trash and scammers, use one of the other million habit tracking apps out there.

Suggestion

Could you add an “edit” feature that if we accidentally tap a tally we can erase one number. Maybe a “shake to undo” or a simple “minus” button?

Overall very good

Overall Tally is a solid app. It has immensely improved how I track my goals and helps me become my best self.
A feature that would be helpful is if the app could live sync across devices connected to my iCloud account and not just backup to iCloud.
