Reliable and helpful!

Great app! I’ve used it for over a year now and it’s reliable and straightforward. The only thing I would say is that when I switched to a newer phone the homepage is cropped weird and the text is cut off. Still works though!

Response from developer

I’ll check that out. Thanks for the review

Easy and fast

Extremely easy to use, offline, and the analysis is a great feature providing insight.

Would like to have the ability to create a separate line of envelope budget like savings or another spending source with its own money

Best budget app I’ve ever used

It’s simple, straightforward, easy to use. Minimalism is the name here. A suggestion I have is the ability to edit and delete single items, or make it easier to do if that’s possible already, rather than restarting the entire envelope.

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind review. If you swipe left on an item you will see an Edit button and a Delete button. 🙂

Very Nice!

Super easy and quick to use, better than many others I’ve tried. Two suggestions I would make 1) transaction date - default to current date but allow editing. 2) list transactions in envelopes with newest at the top so I don’t have to scroll down to check if I’ve already added something.

Response from developer

Thanks for your input. You can resort transactions by tapping the button that has two arrows (one pointing up, the other down).

Ad free version?

Love the app. It’s simple and straight forward but no ad free version?

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. At this time ads are necessary to maintain the app. I hope to have an ad free version this year.

Great Envelope APP highly recommend

This is a great app:) very happy with it. One thing to improve is the reset button is right next to another one that is commonly used. I have deleted all my information in my envelopes because the reset button was inadvertently pressed, with no secondary warning. If this could be moved or have a secondary warning when it is pressed that would be an awesome improvement to the APP.

Simple is good!

Not so simple that it doesn't have a few key elements that I appreciate (like adding a memo to each transaction, or being able to edit an envelope without just fully deleting it, like other apps). Only been using it a few days, but so far I love it. I can make debits or credits to my envelopes without having to physically manage and carry cash. Perfect!

The only thing I would change is shareability so my spouse could use it, too. For now, I just text him screenshots so he knows what's available to spend.

Simple & Quick

I downloaded 25 budgeting apps to evaluate & this one is hands down the best. It’s quick & easy to set up & even enter transactions on the fly.

There’s no learning curve, no gimmicks & no multiple pages to get through. I don’t need analysis or predictions. I simply want to add my transactions & be done.

The UI is crisp & clean which I love. I set my envelopes up in 5 minutes. It’s exactly what I was looking for & it’s free! Thank you developer, you did a great job

Great little app

The budget app I used for years started charging a monthly subscription fee. Hey, I’m on a budget, I don’t want to be signing up for a bunch of subscriptions. I found this envelope app which is perfect. It’s just very simple and basic and is perfect for what I need. It keeps me from having to use pen and paper to keep track of my monthly budget. Thank you to the developer.

Awesome app!

This is a great budgeting tool! Super simple and easy to use. The only missing feature is home screen widgets—it would be great to be able to track different envelopes directly from my home screen, rather than having to open the app.
