My sister got one and loves it. That is how I found out about it. Will write another review once I get mine. Im excited can’t wait. ### 2/5 — Never came been over a year *2026-06-26, version 2.1.0* I'm going to delete this app. I don't know what it's doing behind the scene but it's not earning me the tv they promised. They have what info I gave to sign up that they can contact me with if they ever want to send the tv but until then I won't have this app on my device. ### 3/5 — Help! Issues. Improvements *2026-06-12, version 2.0.9* I love what yall doing. A but can we please get an option to turn the screen saver on and off. Also can we not go to telly tv every time after screen saver. Can we get the menu screen to go off after a certain amount of time if it's untouched. Please take the motion whatever it is out of the remote it's killing the batteries ### 4/5 — Good but wish they had a mobile remote! *2026-04-12, version 2.0.8* 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. ### 1/5 — Scam? Or Jerks? *2026-04-08, version 2.0.8* 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. ### 2/5 — Never got my tv and the app won’t download *2026-02-27, version 2.0.5* App won’t download and I never got my tv ### 2/5 — Haven’t received TV *2026-02-15, version 2.0.5* 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. ### 1/5 — Sad *2026-01-19, version 2.0.3* 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 ### 1/5 — No tv *2026-01-10, version 2.0.2* 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 ### 1/5 — Never got it *2025-12-18, version 2.0.1* I signed up a year ago and never got one. I referred my son and he has had his for months now. Disappointed ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Haven’t received tv *2026-08-20, version 2.1.3* I signed up over a year ago and still haven’t received anything . ### 1/5 — Ugh *2026-08-19, version 2.1.3* Have this app for over a year and still have not gotten my TV ### 1/5 — Haven’t received *2026-08-15, version 2.1.3* Mine still sitting in the pre order slot it’s been three years now and still nothing ### 1/5 — Pre order *2026-08-10, version 2.1.3* I’ve been on the wait list for over a year. My friend did happen to get one. But don’t expect it. Support will just tell you there’s nothing we can do or say in regards of your Telly pre order. So if you need a tv go get one. Don’t wait on this. I’ve been with out a tv for over a year now. I use my small monitor for my pc. If I get one I’ll re do this review. Till then. It is what it is. ### 1/5 — Still Waiting *2026-07-17, version 2.1.2* I’ve signed up for the TV in 2022 or beginning of 2023. I’ve had yet to receive my Telly TV. I have emailed them a lot and although they have responded. I have yet to be reassured. I dont think i will be getting my Telly. At least in this life time. ### 1/5 — Never got to try *2026-07-15, version 2.1.2* Got the app 2024 got the reservation completion 2/25 and never heard back. Who knows what info they were gathering until my deletion today ### 1/5 — Disappointed and Frustrated *2026-06-26, version 2.1.0* I pre-ordered a Telly TV expecting the company to follow through on its promise of sending a television, but I have been waiting forever with no delivery and no clear answers. At this point, the process feels misleading and frustrating. If a company is going to build hype around a free TV offer, it should communicate realistic timelines and actually fulfill pre-orders. ### 1/5 — useless just sits on your phone collecting data *2026-06-04, version 2.0.9* scam app with a scam promise just collecting data from your phone for free. delete this shi ### 1/5 — Phishing. *2026-06-02, version 2.0.9* I applied for a preorder two years ago and received zero communication. This is obviously a scam! DONT DOWNLOAD!!! ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-05-26* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Not a scam baby, I’m hype 😂 *2026-08-29, version 2.1.3* I was skeptical at first because a free TV sounded way too good to be true, but the process was real and straightforward. The setup questions were easy, and now I’m genuinely excited to get my Telly. I’ll update once I actually have it and get everything set up! ### 5/5 — My Telly is better than your _____! *2026-08-25, version 2.1.3* I wouldn’t trade my Telly for your Samsung, LG, etc. I love it! ### 5/5 — Legit *2026-05-20, version 2.0.9* 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. ### 5/5 — Love my tv *2026-04-17, version 2.0.8* A+ ### 5/5 — The truth about Telly *2026-01-06, version 2.0.2* 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! ### 5/5 — Great experience *2026-01-03, version 2.0.2* Our Telly is on the way ! We can’t wait to check it out ! Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Great App, Super Smooth and Easy *2025-12-29, version 2.0.2* 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+!! ### 5/5 — Love Telly! *2025-12-23, version 2.0.2* Super happy with Telly tv. Absolutely no complaints in my end. ### 5/5 — My Tilly TV coming soon *2025-12-14, version 2.0.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Absolutely not a scam! Love my Telly *2025-12-13, version 2.0.0* 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
