Tally: The Anything Tracker

Got the premium, based off of a trusted source rec. no notifications, everything on my end is set to get em. Tried support or contact us- “not available “. Waste of time, money, and space…

I purchased the full app and... 1. The badges are not correct (a day without anything done will show badge of 1). Only when I open the app it will update. 2. Reminders do not work AT ALL! (They worked at the beginning and stopped) 3. NO SUPPORT! Shows the message “oops, could not request support at this time” 4. NO FEED BACK/ CONTACT US! Shows the message “could not submit feedback at this time” 5. NO “Help us improve Tally”. Opens a web page saying “Sorry, you can’t access this typeform until its creator says so.” How pathetic is that?!?! How are you expecting users to buy other apps you have?!

The app was perfect until version 1.18.0. In that version the widget stopped working properly, stopped displaying more than 6 tallies at at a time and basically stopped being a widget, as every click would just open the app (instead of just increase the counter itself) Please go back to the previous functionality, the app is useless at the moment.

I purchased this app in full several years ago to get full access. Now I need to ALSO purchase a subscription to get full access

It’s buggy

I once was a big fan of this app — in fact, all the apps from this developer. Then they got greedy. Their Growth Bundle provided reasonable pricing for all of their apps and I've been a subscriber for five years. But my recently-renewed subscription is no longer active in any but one of the 10 apps I use — and I'm being gouged to the tune of $340+ every year if I want to continue using them. Developer support is nonexistent; my email messages are being ignored. Given the plethora of reasonably-priced apps that do what this app does, you're better off looking someplace else.

TL/DR: Owners kicked grandfathered users who bought the app when it was a one-time payment down to basic plan & demand a subscription for features those users already paid for. AFAIK this shouldn't be allowed by Apple Store. Full version: Imagine you could have bought a $1 composition notebook with 100 sheets to take notes about something for which one page per thing is completely enough for the next 15 years AT LEAST (checkmarks for one-time instance of a thing for which you'll have 200 checkmarks per thing TOPS, so it will fit on one page... one thing will probably extend to 400 instances, so that's two pages, and one thing is maybe a page per two years (so that's 8 pages for 16 years)). But you decide to spend $7 for this notebook to be digital and on your phone. So you buy an app that is a one-time $7 payment. The app gets bought by scammy operators who immediately introduce a subscription. This means that, having started notes on 22 pages, every time when you try to write something on page # 23, the notebook demands that you pay it $30 per year — and PREVENTS YOU from writing on page # 23. There was an outcry, and the scammy operators took a step back and grandfathered the users in. A couple of years pass, and the scammy operators decide they've had enough of keeping themselves to legal obligations of keeping the terms of the contract they've successed, and the notebook hangs out a poster of "pay me $30 per year" every time you open it, and of course extorts money when you try to start a new page of checkmarks. Even if the owners persist in their violation of contractual obligations, I will not buy a subscription. No notebook that you can use for 10 or 15 years costs $300. My needs can be covered by several notes in Apple Notes. == My review the previous time this happened: I paid $7 for premium in this app on the assumption it's not a subscription-based one. I wouldn't have bought it had I known it'd turn into a subscription-based app. This is bait-and-switch and unethical. The developer responds to reviews that mention the taking away of premium features that were supposed to be lifetime with brazen "Hi there" comments. In truth, I should have seen the signs in the fact that the dev was promoting a "growth bundle" of apps for "a better self", while the way to become better selves is to use fewer apps. It is apparent the dev is not out to add value but to milk people for what is in fact a very limited functionality (that they already paid for). This

Love the app and concept. 5 stars would be if there was a way to delete /take away a tally if you accidentally press the button.

30$ a year for nothing

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 sync across devices connected to my iCloud account.
