Exactly what I’ve been looking for
So pleased to have found this after looking for an app like this for a long time. Most I’ve tried are far too complicated but this does exactly what I need to keep track of my budget simply and easily.
Almost Great
I have been using this for several months.
Pros: it is easy to use and gives me peace of mind. I have the habit now of logging every purchase as I make it. My bank is rally sneaky and will wait as much as a week to post purchases, and given that no one carries around paper ledgers anymore, it's rally easy to forget what you've spent. This is perfect for tracking that.
Cons: you cannot delete one envelope at a time. This is the only annoying aspect of this. I even bought "lifetime access" thinking that I would be able to do that but I still cannot. If I make an envelope and spell the title wrong or change my mind or no longer need it, I can't edit or delete that one. I have no choice but to delete all envelopes. I will end up finding a similar but different app because this one flaw is the most annoying to me. If not for that, it would be perfect.

Clean interface, very promising app!
I am looking for a budget app and came across Envy.
It didn’t have a lot of reviews, but I decided to try it anyway.
I was pleasantly surprised.
What I really liked:
- privacy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (no information collected!!)
- price ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (only 1 low one-time payment!!!)
- Interface: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(really clean and easy to use. Especially like the add transaction screen’s simplicity!)
- frequent updates, even for a 4-year old app!
(That says the developer cares about this and is committed to it.)
Opportunities for growth (What would make me switch to use this app):
Accounts section for bank accounts or credit accounts
Transaction quick entry from home page just like quick deposit (maybe use same page for both positive (deposit) and negative (spending) transactions)
Jump to transaction by tapping entry in recent transactions
Charts! See how money was spent by category and date range, see spending vs. earning by date range, bonus: click on category in chart to jump to list of transactions filtered by chart date range
Optional: choose from different logos to personalize (this is obviously not a need, just a bonus)
Overall, while some functionality I use is not yet present, I am very impressed by what I’ve seen. I plan to follow this app for updates and strongly consider switching in the future! (Btw, to the developer: I would be willing to pay more than $5 for these features.)

Fantastic
I used to use cash envelopes and wanted to go digital. Having this app works the same method and just perfect for me. Thank you. Also love it doesn’t ask for any personal information. Just fantastic.
Amazing
I want to say thank you to this app for getting me started on my goals. I feel like for 5 dollars that’s a small amount to pay for a lifetime access. It was tricky at first to plan out how I wanted to use it but I’ve started to find that it has all that I need for a successful life path. Thank you developers!!

Simple. Cute. Perfect!
This is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted an app to help me keep tabs on the different categories of “envelopes” that I use that I don't actually take cash out for.
I like the aesthetic. You don’t need to download/upload anything to and from accounts to use it. It is intuitive and simple to use. And, it barely costs anything. Very happy.

User Friendly and effective
I’ve been using the app for a few months now, and very impressed by the value-for-money. I love that it’s a one time purchase for the full access. It has the necessary tracking features without the complexity. I also love the option to export transactions. It’s been exactly the app I was looking for for my budgeting process!

Love the app, but…
I love the app and it is just what I’m looking for, but I really want to use it on my ipad and MacBook at home and would like to use it on my phone on the go, but there’s no way that I can find to have the same envelopes linked from my phone to the ipad. You have to work them both separately, which is disappointing. It works great and love how it works, it’s just that one thing for me personally.

Amazing!!!!
I have been looking for something like this for a very long time!!!! I have used pretty much every envelope and budget app out there and they were always lacking or missing something I needed. This app allows me to put into my phone what I would do with the actual envelopes at home. Y’all have to try this out!!! Thank you so much for finally developing this!!!! 5 star app!!!!!!

Nice and Simple
I love this app, it’s nice and simple to use. The fact that you can purchase the app one time for use of all the features is great. It’s a great budgeting tool. It would be even better if it recalled all the places you spend your money at so you didn’t need to enter them every time you do a negative transaction. Definitely recommend this app.
