TallyFlex: ABA data collection

I am a behavior tech in the school system and have been using this app for several years. I went to use it this school year and it had been updated to a newer version since over the summer. It had listed old students I worked with so I wanted to delete their data and enter my new student, but it refused to allow me to add a student even though it said I could add up to 2 students with the free version I was using. It gave me no option to add a student. I even tried to see about upgrading my account and it wouldn’t LET ME 🤷🏼‍♀️. I asked for a password retrieval, but the email to do it never came through. I tried creating a new account with a new email, but the screen that says it needs to verify your email is just…stuck. The email never comes and then it says that my account was temporarily disabled. Now it just keeps saying it can’t verify my account. Can someone who made this app figure out why it now won’t let me use it at ALL even if I upgraded it (which it won’t let me do 🤷🏼‍♀️😂🙄). Beyond frustrated! I’ve recommended this app to all my colleagues and now I can’t even use it 😩 EDIT:: I was able to contact TallyFlex through email and they PROMPTLY got on to it and were able to get me back into my account immediately! Excellent customer service!! Thanks, David!

1. Im neuridivergent and kinda hyper so excuse the excitement but I use this app. Thank you for making this. I have used this app for client sessions and in my uni bcba course work. It’s a VERY VERY helpful app, really liking the whole thing so far. I’m looking forward to you guys adding hopefully more data collection options /types of realistic. I use a lot of chaining and TAs , in my data collection sheets and program creations for like teaching toddlers a list of steps to like brush teeth , put on pants ect and a way to setup tracking chains of steps’ accuracy would helpful. A way to upload or do checklists data collection for client data but also for collecting fidelity/progress monitoring data for staff being observed implementing interventions with clients would also be great. Being able to add pre-made data sheets that populate with the collected data at the end of the session that can be sent as a document might be cool too.

This app has been extremely helpful to use in a pinch for new aides working 1:1 with students who exhibit challenging behavior. The accessibility and ease with which they are able to just tap a button versus managing a clipboard and paper data sheet is much more feasible a request. However, I have noticed some pretty significant glitches with the calculations. The percentages occasionally don’t add up despite the data being collected and after a certain (apparently random) number of opportunities, the data cease to be counted in the total and the percentages don’t change resulting in unreliable data collection. Also, it would be wonderful to export the preview page that shows the total opportunities correct and incorrect versus just getting a decimal point in the spreadsheet. It’s not comparing apples to apples when opportunities and duration of sessions vary from day to day. I would love it if the actual time of the session also appeared in the exported data. And I agree that it would be great to have a shared location for a single student since there will often be more than one person collecting data on the same student in different environments in the school setting. Nevertheless, this is world’s better than expecting staff to carry around and reliably record data with paper and pencil. Thank you for offering this app for free! Though I’m sure with some minor improvements, it won’t be free for long.
