User Reviews
Love, Love, Love, this app!!!!!!!!❤️ Thank You so much to the developer for his brilliant creation and for keeping it free and available to us for all these years!!!!! God Bless you Sir✝️
This is an actually simple no subscription needed application designed for envelope budgeting. The user needs to already understand how to set up an envelope budget as there isn’t a tutorial provided within the application however it is very easy to find youtube videos that will teach a new user the method (though a tutorial in the app itself would be nice). The only feature I would find necessary to be added is a button that will reset the balance of all the envelopes at once, ideally only usable under the question or edit button so the user cannot accidentally reset their envelopes balances without meaning to. It is somewhat tedious to go through every envelope and reset them individually if you have more than ten set up. Otherwise, as I wrote in the title this is perfect and I have already started to put my friends and family on this hidden gem.
I love this so much. I do wish there were more color options than the ones they supply but this is a great way to see all your accounts in one place. It’s easy to add or just subtract if you spend. It goes right along with my budget planner without me having to lug it around. I can’t wait to tell all my friends about it
Most budget apps have a ‘everything including the kitchen sink’ overkill approach, tracking everything from your digital currency investments to the market value of your collectibles. Or they want a subscription??!! So then There is this ONE app that gets down to a simple nickle and dime approach to a spending budget that keeps you on target for your income versus expenses. This one. It has nothing you don’t need. In fact, I was thinking the only improvement was if you could put dates on your transactions. But you can! Add it in the front of your note each time and create your own ledger. And then I found myself thinking it would be great if they’d add a form field in the envelopes that let you note how much you have to put in it from each paycheck. Well, you can do that too! Just add the amount you budget from each paycheck into your envelope name. Mine looks like : Car Insurance (150) etc. Definitely this app will keep you on track and help you stay within your budget! Thank you so much! Perfect example of how simple is so much better
Paid $.99 for this budget app and its terrible. Dont waste your money. It makes no sense
What I feel about this app is in its name. Simple! And that is a compliment! I’ve been using excel on my PC for most of my budgeting life. I’ve been wanting to slowly transition to some kind of mobile tracking situation where I have the information of the amount of money I have available to spend in whatever category I need at the ready where ever I am when I need it. This app is exactly what I needed for this. I never leave reviews or rate apps, but if mine can help push someone to make the small purchase on this app to gain a wonderful, yet simple, tool for their budgeting, I’m glad to have helped. Thank you to the creator of this app! I greatly appreciate you. Five stars!
This app is EXACTLY what I need. Easily and accurately tracks how much is in each envelope without having to do a long complicated budget - - which I do use also, but needed this for a quick easy answer to “How much do we have left for groceries this month?” Etc…
I was looking for an app that was as close to using physical envelopes for budgeting as I could. I did not want the bells and whistles. This app met that need entirely! You create envelopes, as many as you need, you name the envelopes and assign a color. Then you can enter dollar amounts going in and out. The envelope will display the total balance left.The only thing I wish I could do was sort the envelopes. Once you create them they’re kind of stuck in the order of creation. Overall great app though!!
I’ve been searching for an envelopes app for the longest! I’m so glad to have came across this free app. I absolutely love it it helps me keep track of my daily expenses in a very simple way. Instead of creating different savings accounts with my bank for my sinking funds I simply create an envelope for it on here.
This app is should be so simple, yet it is frustrating and harder to navigate then it should be.
