This app has been working great as I'm doing the cash envelope system. The only issue I just encountered was today as the month rolled over. I don't get paid this way, so suddenly my envelopes are off and no way that I've found to change the budgeting period. Frustrated, since it had been working so great and keeping my cash budget tracked perfectly. Now back to looking for an app that does this but doesn't reload my budgeted amounts until I'm ready for it to.
I love the simplicity of this app thats why I've been using it for about 2 years now. It does glitch from time to time but it's nothing major or else i wouldn't have kept it so long. I gave this app 4 stars for one reason only - it doesn't allow me to add my income. It would be REALLY GREAT if I could minus the expenses from an income figure to see exactly what I have left after all expenses are paid. This is literally my ONLY problem with the app!
Exactly what I've been looking for! Keeps a running balance for each envelope. I set the budget amount as zero & then used a new transaction for each category to add the starting balance so that it functions similarly to YNAB. Desired updates for the developers: 1) the ability to re-order the envelopes vs just in alphabetical order. 2) Drastic color change if overdrawn. Maybe just white envelopes w/ colored text but then the whole box goes red if overdrawn? Somehow obvious to catch attention
I was using and enjoying it since last year until I installed it on another phone recently. Cant open it to date even after uninstalling and reinstalling several times. Still a great app if this problem can be fixed. Love it. The best envelope budget app to date and I have tried many.
Update: Thank you for fixing the glitch (4/10/19) Update: Yesterday's (4/08/19) update is a disaster! it reads my deposits as deductions, and the new colors are horrible. please fix this I really love this app and would hate having to find another one. Love the simplicity of this App but the 11/17/18 update won't allow me to open the app. It keeps closing each time I try opening an envelop. I have been using this App for about 3-4 years. Please fix. Thank you.
It's perfect, but would love to be able to change the frequency from monthly to weekly or fortnightly. (Or alternatively if there was a way to set up recurring transactions then could set the budget to 0)
Not what I was expecting. When you make a deposit into an envelope it's displayed as negative dollars spent which is strange. Also I really need to be able to order the envelopes myself but they default to alphabetical and you can't change it.
Love this app. Clean and simple to use. Only thing missing is a debit order feature or recurring transactions. That will make starting a new month a whole lot easier than having to recapture these amounts... Thanks!
Great app for budgeting. The latest version has been blacking out on me lately though, so buggy. i click on an envelope to add amounts, and it flashes to take me back to menu. its been happening multiple times in the last few days, and Im just reafy to give up on the app now
By far my favorite budgeting app. The envelope system works best for me and this allows for the customization that worked best for me. Simple, no frills. I love it. Honestly, I'd pay to upgrade to one with the banner ads, but the ads aren't intrusive so it isn't a huge deal.
I just started using this app nice and easy to use... I would have given 5 stars if the following ideas were added... Would rather save to my SD card with the opportunity to also save to Cloud... Just one other thing that is NEEDED a way to lock the application with fingerprint and password or pin... but otherwise its a great app...
Finally deleted this app out of frustration. I didnt realize I could not change the envelopes for the next month without the app deleting the previous month. I have lost all my previous month transactions because I changed the envelope in the new month. Looking for something else now...sad face.
I love the idea of th3 envelopes and how the credit or deficet rolls over each month, but now I'm in my second month, I see a lot of envelopes haven't rolled over with the correct amount, and I have no idea how to contact a tech support :-( I just read the ingonpage and it says it can't support more than six envelopes! That's crazy; I have about 20!set up. If it can't support them, it shouldn't letmme create them!
BEST APP!!! This is by far the best budgeting app I have tried and I've tried dozens including mint, YNAB, Pocket guard, etc. If you can learn how to use this app, you will always be on budget, know when things need to be paid off, and how much money is left and safe to spend. I think you guys should require a 2 - 4 dollar subscription or accept donations because an app as effective as this shouldn't be free. Thanks for blessing me with this wonderful app.
I loaded this program one hour ago and it beats out other's I use. Simple to be use, at a glance see amounts spent, balances. Removing other programs that I have installed. If I was asked to pay $$ for using the product, I would! Try it, impressive program.
Can tap envelopes and change things but I cant figure out how to set the budget, if you want 1600 and presets for envelopes it might be for you. Help section is "you can do backup on dropbox" aka not very helpful. Really wanted to like this disappointed
Great app. Someone said you can't put more than 6 envelopes, but i just tried like 20 and they all showed up on every month. Simple and easy to use! Does what it says. I would recommend.
I have downloaded so many stupid apps trying to find one i like and this is it. Its not complicated like the others. It lets you put in your budget and tells you how much you have left in every category. The best, finally found a good money app im so happy 👍👍👍
I like the concept of this app. I set everything up, but since the last update weird things keep happening. 1. Sometimes I can't delete an envelope or edit it. 2. Sometimes everything I entered disappears and shows up again after going in and out of the app. 3. If I delete or add an envelope in a future month it will also make the change in the current month. It's not very helpful if I can't get it to work properly. Please fix as this would be a great app without the glitches
