useless just sits on your phone collecting data

scam app with a scam promise just collecting data from your phone for free. delete this shi

Phishing.

I applied for a preorder two years ago and received zero communication. This is obviously a scam! DONT DOWNLOAD!!!

Awful

Not even worth it for the free TV. Constant errors, have had to factory reset my TV multiple times, etc. Returning as soon as I can.

Legit

I love my Telly and you get it for free! Wild. I love all the OTA updates and being able to see all the news and sports info on the bottom screen. Sound and picture are great! Always a conversation piece when people come over.

Love my tv

A+

Good but wish they had a mobile remote!

For a free tv this thing is pretty cool. There is motion sensor games, good quality graphics and the sound bar is nice. Had some issues with the sound bar for the first month but with the updates it’s worked itself out. Only giving 4 stars because I wish it had a mobile remote.

Scam? Or Jerks?

I’ve been sitting at “We’ve got your pre-order” for over 4 years now and never once got a notification or update…. And reading the reviews about requiring a credit card for $1000 when that was never part of the original deal is outrageous…. Still plan to keep the app through the end of the year in case they do get off their butt and handle people that have been waiting so long.

Never got my tv and the app won’t download

App won’t download and I never got my tv

Haven’t received TV

I signed up for this over four years ago and still haven’t received any notifications for a TV. But I’m seeing people post within the last couple of months saying they got theirs within five months of signing up. Mine still shows in pre-order which is crazy.

Sad

I Ben waiting on my tv over a year and a half I don’t think they give them out anymore I’m bought to just delete this app talking up space on my phone shame to I really wanted to test it out o well

No tv

I haven’t got the tv at all and I’ve been waiting for at least 4-5months I’m starting to think this is fake

The truth about Telly

If you were like me in a bad spot, and found this ad for a tv that pays for itself then let me tell you, it’s real. I applied in August and was approved by September and had my tv delivered quick! To be transparent, me and my spouse are mid 20’s with 3 kids which could be why we were accepted fairly quickly. I sent the invitation to my dad but he still hasn’t heard back months later. A lot of the bad reviews knew what they were singing up for when it says it collects your data. That is not something they hide from you. The phone in your hand collects just as much data. If you don’t care about that then Telly is 100% for you. Yes, it has a camera but it turns off when not in use. The motion games are extremely fun for kids. If you don’t have a nex playground this is perfect. This is one of the greatest things we’ve gotten in 2025. It has absolutely everything you’d want in a tech savvy home. You don’t even notice the ads running and you can customize the bottom screen to show widgets you like. The $1000 is hefty but for the delivery, price, and benefits from the tv it makes sense they’ll charge you for not utilizing the tv the way it’s meant to be used. You can’t expect it to be completely free. We’ve had it now for 3 months and I have not one single bad thing to say about the tv. All I could ask is that they add a Telly remote app cause I keep losing the remote!

Great App, Super Smooth and Easy

This app is so great for my TV- it’s so cool to have something that is truly connected to my TV and allows me to do so many thing that directly connects to it. A+!!

Love Telly!

Super happy with Telly tv. Absolutely no complaints in my end.

Never got it

I signed up a year ago and never got one. I referred my son and he has had his for months now. Disappointed

My Tilly TV coming soon

My telly TV is coming soon. I don’t know when we’ll be gonna find out. I’m so excited. I believe it’s not a scam but also a free TV. It was a good thing.

Absolutely not a scam! Love my Telly

Mine came about a week ago and I took it right out of the box and hooked it up along with adding GOVEE active LED lights. It’s terrific. It’s beautiful and it’s fun to use.

Worth the wait

Love this tv! It does everything and is free! The new app update looks great as well.
