Budget with envelopes

Avoid overdraft fees, unexpected shortages, the minimum payment treadmill, and that sinking dread when you realize you actually couldn't afford to go out.
That's what Budget is for, and it's easy. You put money into the envelopes at payday, and take it out as you spend. An envelope can represent anything — a bank account, money set aside for groceries, or the cash you're saving to buy that new Android phone off-contract. Think of a checkbook, only more flexible.

Managing money is a drag, but it doesn't have to be painful or difficult.

The app is simple and good. The colours also help to map out costs in a budger that should not be interfered with, mine I put in red envelopes. Some of the setbacks are, not able to export data to excel and print and google drive for storage etc . Its also easy to delete an envelope accidentally. Once you swipe there should be s confirmation pop up The graph is also a waste of space. It doesnt add much value to information in the envelopes. Improve on these areas and it will be a 5 star.app.

Lovely app. However looks like it has been abandoned. My envelopes just wouldn't match with my cash. After using for a month thinking I was doing something wrong, I went back to GNUCash and all my accounts started to tally which probably means there is some bug in the app or I was making some mistake. Enjoyed the simplicity and design but will have to uninstall.

Oh my god....I am such amazed to use this small 100kb apps, Somedays ago My uncle advised me to buy a khata and write down day by day expenses so that I can manage budget. I found this app while installing your another app *CleanMusic* and checked apps. At first I was confused how to use this app but after some times now the application is in my control. But you should add some features like backup in google drive , Recycle bin... Etc. Anyway this app is so cool

I really enjoy this app. It's like what Dave Ramsey teaches in his financial courses. I haven't taken them but my church teaches them and I picked up on it.

One of the easiest app I have used. However, not able to share with anyone to keep up with all transactions.

Cannot add money to the budget. App is useless.

Small, Simple and Speedy.

Just what I needed! The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because occasionally I will delete an envelope by mistake and unless you're quick to click the undo button, it is lost! If you forget the balance in the envelope you're up the creek! Would be nice to have a confirmation pop-up "Are you sure you want fo delete "X"?" to ensure that accidental envelope deletion is less likely. The swipe left feature WITHIN the envelopes is great, though! Such a simple yet elegant app. With one minor tweak, I'd give it 5 stars. Also, EXPORT function doesn't seem to do anything for me, though not a dealbreaker.

I have tried kinds of envelope budgeting apps and I have lost count of how many of them I have uninstalled. This one is clear, easy to set up and sooooo not complicated. You add your money to the envelopes and enter what you spent. BAM! Done. No figuring your budget based on when you get paid and all that complicated stuff. Just you and envelopes. Plus if you have a question or problem, the creator of the app will actually reply to you and very quickly. Thsns so .much for making this app!

I love this app! Here is my tutorial of what I learned so far. Budget screen - + button let's you add envelopes ( type in name, paintbrush lets you change colors) up arrow let's you put in paycheck, side arrow lets you transfer funds between envelopes. swipe left to delete any envelopes you don't want. They will be in alphabetical order unless you capitalize one and it will be first Paycheck screen- put in the amount of your paycheck. If the envelopes have an amount in it already delete the amounts and put in your amounts. When you have it all distributed hit ok Envelope screen- down arrow lets you put in an expense, up arrow lets you put in an earning , paintbrush changes the color. Any thing you want deleted swipe it away. Hopefully this helps someone I actually deleted it and started over before I figured out how to do the paychecks😁

love how simple it is. Easy to edit payments or remove, once u play around with it a bit to work it out. Graph only works if u go into envelopes and hit the paint bbrush to assign a colour to each envelope. Took me ages to work it out. Needs a simple tutorial or q&a

Good app, but I think you could reach more users if it had a dark theme and an option to disable the graph.

Good app, exactly what I wanted to replace a spreadsheet. Wish I could turn off the graph though waste of space. Nice simple app for those use to a simple system

Excellect app does the job i was looking for. Can handle every account yet give u an overview balance standing. Salutations for the developer!

I have been looking for an "envelope budgeting" system, and this is the best! It is so easy to stay within my budget, because I see how much I've spent, and how much is left. A wonderful money management. I have been using this app for several years now, and would be lost without it! Thank you for such a simple yet very effective money management tool!

I love the simple ease of use. Perfect fit for me.

This is the only app of its kind. There are many budgeting apps, but this is the only one that very simply does one thing. No connection to your bank accounts, no dropbox sync, no default list of 150 spending categories. You put money into an envelope, you take money out of the envelope when it's spent. Plain. And. Simple. And, it looks good too!

I haven't worked out how to delete envelopes or mistaken entries yet (I don't think you can) but otherwise it's working great. You can color code envelopes, add a note to any input or out put and it doesn't pressure you to keep to a schedule like some other apps. A handy way to record where your money is going and where you want it to go.

I really like this app because it looks good and is just simple to use. It would be nice if envelopes could be set to automatically refill based on the month. And in case anyone is wondering, to delete an envelope just swipe left. That wasnt immediately clear.

Mar. C. Aug 21, 2014     

Just what I need a nice simple app. Would give 5 stars but needs a zero button so I can start from scratch at the beginning of each month. It would also be nice if you could sort or rearrange the envelopes.

Cash is the way to go for budgeting and I tried Good Budget for several months and it's just over kill. This is simple and easy. Add the money, take it out or transfer it. Please don't add a whole bunch of other features. The beauty of it is that you can add lots of envelopes. When you think about it, paying your bills didn't get you in trouble with the budget, it's the other ways you spend your money that are the problem. Really happy to have finally found something that works!

I would give it 5 stars but it seems to be missing one important (to me) feature. All of my envelopes work on %. So when I get a paycheck it would be nice to automatically divide it into my envelopes instead of manual entry.

Jas. M. Sep 7, 2015     

This essential feature is missing. Also, long-clicking an area should bring up options to delete it. Very unpolished.

A. G. u. Sep 27, 2014     

Seems like it could be a useful app, although I haven't really gotten the hang of it yet. If the UI was a bit more polished and modern I would be included to use it more.
