User Reviews
My husband and I have been using this app for YEARS, it’s the only thing that keeps our budget on-track because it is so simple
It’s too bad that the developer for this app doesn’t update it so that it works in the cloud so that it can be shared between devices. This is the only app like this in the App Store. I would actually pay $15 a year for a subscription if it synced between devices.
I love the simplicity of this app. Too many apps have too much going on when you login. The only thing holding me back from using it is the lack of ability to categorize transactions and see them visualized in a pie chart (for each envelope) so I can see at a glance where my money is going each month. This is what helps me make changes over time to further reduce the amount I need to put in each envelope. Would love to be notified if this feature is added in the future.
This app is great! However there’s 2 small things that I’d LOVE to see added. First, it would be great to organize the envelopes further into folders! (Ex: bills all in one folder, subscriptions in one, etc). Second, it’s minor but I’d like to change the color of the envelopes using a color wheel instead of being limited to preselect colors!
Just what I was looking for when my budgeting program of 25 years stopped working. This envelope system is a no frills way to keep me on track and make sure I don’t over spend. Set up as many envelopes needed to pay bills, spend, and save. One thing I miss is being able to print a summary of the envelope balances, which came in handy when my last budget program crashed, but I can screen shot the envelope list instead.
hello there! awesome app! I use every day. I was wondering if you can add an "export" or "Share an envelope" option, u know, Like, hey this is what I have spent during my trip. export to PDF or excel. Thank you
This app doesn't have any fancy bells and whistles, which is why I love it. Most budgeting apps try to do everything, like tracking your income, bills, spending, etc. But if you have your bills sorted out and set to auto pay, all you really need to worry about is your discretionary spending for the month. That's what this app allows you to easily do: allot money to envelopes, and withdraw what you spend.
I have been using this app for quite a while. I love it’s simplicity and ease of use. I’m always able to see how much money I have in each envelope, without having to carry around a notebook. I do wish I was able to add my husband, so he can see what is in each envelope.
I love how simple this app is to use. But I just wish it didn’t show me my total balance at the top. I like how is shows me for each envelope but I wish the total was not on top. Or that there was a way to remove it if you like. But other than that this is a wonderful app.
Raised 4 children as a single mom using this system. Stopped using it for a while and realized I have personal goals that I want to accomplish and this system will definitely help me from my past experience.
