by O####:

Wish we could change paycheck amounts. You don't always make the same amount of money. That's why you need budgets to begin with.

Y70%
by Y####:

Love the way it's set up, but it NEEDS a reset option.

X70%
by X####:

Simple, elegant, manual input, but I want the option to roll leftover funds to the next month for some envelopes.

M70%
by M####:

Saving me alot money by it showing me with simple icons.

T70%
by T####:

It is easy and fun to use.

H70%
by H####:

It isn't very user friendly. It needs the option to change things more easily. I want to go from a monthly budget to a weekly but it's impossible. Lots of potential to be good, but falls short.

D70%
by D####:

This app is what I've been looking for! Simple, easy to use interface that allows budgeting for biweekly pay periods. Perfect for organizing the joint finances of myself and my husband.

T70%
by T####:

Most of the time it doesn't react when I click buttons, and there are no touch indications so I don't know if I even hit the button. You can't reset your budget. You can't empty an envelope completely. It's slow in general. Design is very unclear with things spread out all over the place and with options hidden behind icons that make no sense. No tablet support, forces portrait.

C70%
by C####:

I was so excited when I found this app because I had been looking for this exact concept for awhile. However, this app crashes a lot. There are also issues with synching. Some "shared" items sync properly while others don't. It makes it hard to know if you can properly trust it. My husband and I will have to constantly compare notes for awhile. Id love an update as this could be SO perfect.

Good little app. Syncing across devices is a little off. Otherwise, very handy.

This is great app. I recommend this one to everyone I know. Super useful!

Needs an iOS version. Would be nice to be able to export data to excel. Monthly summaries are needed as well. I find its easier to track by month rather than days remaining to the next refill

So great!!!!

Very intriguing. Makes me more interested in organizing my expenses

Y70%
by Y####:

Verry hard to use. Cant change things when they save. Tried connecting with my husband and you cant see anything on his phone. Uninstall fast...

M70%
by M####:

Does exactly what I wanted it to. A simple envelope system that allows for carry-over of categories from month to month. Would be even better if it graphed info over time. But, I really have no complaints. Occasionally the icons don't work right, but the information is always correct.

Y70%
by Y####:

I wanted to like it, but it's too hard to use.

by S####:

You have to figure out how to edit numbers you have entered. I did it once but forgot. It is a great app. Keep up the good work.

T70%
by T####:

But here's the thing: not only does it consistently crash, there is no way to edit the numbers you've input if they change and/or you've made a mistake. It's beautiful, simple, and I want it to be functional so bad.

T70%
by T####:

It works well enough when you can access it. I can't get into it after reinstalling it on a new phone though. No way to reset password. Even before that, it started to "fail to work" half the time. I like the envelope concept, but filling the envelopes is tricky (especially in the middle of a cycle) with no way to undo errors unless you transfer funds. Fix those things and i would love it.

T70%
by T####:

I don't want intrusive and complicated budget apps like Mint. I wanted something that allows me to simply track how much my wife and I are spending. I like this app's ability to share budget with my wife but it's tedious envelope creation process and lack of easy customization features hold this promising app from becoming great. If I find another app that gives me ability share and gives more freedom to customize, I'll be jumping ship.

T70%
by T####:

We like it and it's a great way to communicate what's going on with our money. It crashes when you don't kill the app after you've stopped using it. Love the option to track shared budget as well as individual budget.

T70%
by T####:

I love it! The only thing I would change is be able to update or change our budget ounce is set. but I guess that's the whole point to be discipline. I have recommended all treasure ready.

T70%
by T####:

It's pretty, but useless. There is no way to reset initial settings, so if income changes there's no way to update it. Really wish this had a basic reset button. Can't really review functionality since I can't adjust the income, thus I'm unable to add $ to envelopes. Love that it's for couples. Please help me RESET!!

I've just played with 5 diff budget/envelope system apps and this one by far was best/easiest

Best app

X70%
by X####:

You can't reset the app. I was trying to input numbers and it glitches and put 46$ in each slot and there is no way to reset it and start over... Would give more stars if you could reset and start over..other than that the app is great and works wonderfully

X70%
by X####:

Excellent app, excellent support. I wish I would have been able to log back in after a reinstallation. If this happens to you there is a link on the login screen which I cannot see on my Huawei phone. Closest app of this type to the envelope system. Really helpful daily reminder that appears in the task bar asking if there was any transaction that happened during the day that might have been forgotten. I like that it is very encouraging by asking how you felt about your money spending that day.

A70%
by A####:

I'm giving this 3 stars until there is some sort of tutorial and the ability to delete envelopes. Mine has a bunch of pre-set envelopes that I don't need and I can't delete them! Needs to have more icons to choose from, there are a bunch for eating out/shopping, neither of which I am able to do right now. Just needs more freedom to personalize and easy way to edit if you make a typo or accidentally add in the wrong envelope for me to give more stars

X70%
by X####:

How do I reset my account? I was fooling around with various figures and now logging in that account will sync all the errors

H70%
by H####:

would be excellent if each envelope has planned expenses and actual expenses so that it gives flexibility in budgeting and enables adjusting budget efficiently
