Talli Baby Tracker Newborn Log 4+

EDIT: Thanks to the Talli team for restoring the previous functionality so quickly! Great to see them so responsive to customer feedback and willing to admit mistakes. Updated to 5 stars.

We’ve used Talli since our 7 month old was born, and with the dedicated logging device it’s quite convenient. But lately it seems the developers are only interested in upselling the subscription plan. This last update changed the UI so that it now takes one more tap every time you want to log something. Annoying enough, but you *can* go back to logging with one tap — if you pay for it. I’m all for paying money for useful features (the button customization, for instance, is nice) but hobbling your own app and then charging to restore the previous functionality is not a great move. Makes me wonder what they’ll remove and charge for next. I wish the developers would focus instead on making the core logging experience better, like making it work offline, adding Apple Watch or Siri support, etc. In the meantime, I’ll start trying other apps.

Hi _steverice –
We appreciate your candid feedback on our latest release. Although we created this functionality based on feedback from other users, it appears that we’ve missed the mark with this new feature. We’re quickly working to address feedback from users, such as yourself, by reverting these changes, while still providing the functionality that other users have requested. We expect to have this update published and available for your use quickly. If you have any additional comments, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to reach out to use at support@talli.me.

*Update: Talli’s dev team is wonderful. My feedback below was already a feature I just didn’t know existed. They reached out and let me know how to turn on the “Time Since” function 🥳 just wonderful. Thanks guys.

Having this app (and remote) for our first has been so helpful. There is so much happening in a day it’s easy to forget when something last happened or how long they have been awake, etc. For that alone I would give 5 stars. Something that is a real bummer is that there seem to pretty regular outages, it unclear if they are doing updates or something but man, if they are I hope they get this and start scheduling those for the night time. A feature request would be to have a wake window timer (triggered by the sleep timer) showing how long they’ve been awake and a how long since eating timer. I use my watch timers and stop watches to help me have a quick visual to guide my day. Ya know, don’t jump in the shower because they have been asleep for 30 minutes and are about to wake up - type information.

Hi IdahoAndrea - We appreciate the feedback. We do have a feature that shows the time since the last event. If you look on the More Screen, scroll down and tap on the Settings menu, you'll be able to see the setting to switch between "Show time" and "Show time ago", which should help with your how long since eating issue. We are working on building wake windows functionality in the future.

we bought ours in anticipation of our first born and started using it earlier than expected - to count baby kicks using the miscellaneous button. It worked great for it and now we are finally using it for the baby. I’d say we use the app 50% of the time. Couple of suggestions - (#1) when using breastfeeding or similar time based modes using the app, it doesn’t save it right away when you start the timer. So, if you happen to exit the app or go back, you lose your changes. The trick is to start the timer, then immediately save it and then go back to the screen. I’d highly suggest updating this to autosave whenever the timer is changed. (#2) the device could have a fallback sync option for failed button press events. Right now if any event fails, its lost. You have to press it again. It’s rare but we have had some issues with wifi on it. Talli IG team even offered to replace the unit. Regardless, I highly recommend them and would absolutely buy one for a family/friend.

Thanks so much for this awesome feedback! We know how much you have going on, and we really appreciate you taking the time to share this! We can absolutely add auto-save to timer events when the time is changed before tapping Save. No one wants to lose timer data! Totally makes sense. And we'll look at beefing up our retries for rare times if the device isn't able to get the connection for some reason. Thanks again for the feedback!
