WASTE OF TIME

Makes you do all the budgeting stuff which takes very long before telling you it’s not free. What a scam!

Not free

Put in alt he effort to set up and really wish you would’ve made it clear it’s only subscription based!!!

Simple

If you’re looking for
A simple envelope style budget app
app this is it. Not confusing, simple a dream for those who get overwhelmed by complicated apps

New layout is awful!

I really loved using this app for my budgeting but the new layout is harder to understand and less visually pleasing. The change was unneeded and this makes me not want to use the app anymore.

New update

I love this app and have used it for so long!! Opened it up today to see the new update… please please please bring the old design back! I hate how it looks now :/

Stopped working

This app stop working for me all of a sudden. I tried deleting it and adding it back, and it still won’t work, and I’ve already paid for a yearly subscription. I’m not sure what they did with the update, but it will not work on my phone anymore, and I don’t know how to get the rest of my money back before the glitch the app was perfect. fine, help me track my finances. Let me know what I was spending the Most money on, but now I feel like it’s a complete waste of money to have to pay for a yearly subscription when my app won’t work for a year

please bring back the old layout!

I absolutely LOVE this app and have been using it for a while now, it’s made budgeting so much easier for me and has helped me become way better with managing my money, but this new layout is awful. The old layout was perfect!! Please reconsider switching back to it!

New Layout

I love this app, but the new UI update is not it. It was much easier to navigate and more intuitive before. Now if you have a lot of envelopes, it’s very clunky. Please please please create an option to use the old layout!

So good for my adhd brain

This app has genuinely changed my life. I’ve never been good at budgeting, and after some big life changes I was forced to figure it out. Well I found this app on tik Tok and it looked promising,and I’m so glad I tried it. I’ve had it for about. A year and it’s helped me build a savings account, pay off debt and take control of my finances! Thank you!!

Disappointed with the new features and layout

Hi! I wanted to share some feedback about the new update.
Is there any possibility of bringing back the old version, or at least giving users the option to choose which features and layout they want to use?

Honestly, the main reason I chose your company was because the app was so cute, fun, and visually appealing. I loved being able to see all the small folders and categories — it made budgeting feel enjoyable and actually motivated me to use the app. I’ve tried many budgeting apps before, but Budget Bestie was the only one that made me genuinely want to budget because of how cute and condensed everything was.

With the new update, I find the app looks much more bland, and unfortunately, I’m really disappointed with the change. I’m also paying an annual fee, so it’s frustrating to feel like such a big part of what made the app worth paying for has been taken away.

I really hope this feedback reaches the team. Even just giving users the choice between the old and new layouts, or allowing us to customize which features we see, would make such a big difference.

I really loved the old version and would genuinely love to see the option to use it again

Best budget app!

Absolutely love this app! It has been sooo helpful as a single income household with so many bills to manage throughout the month! Really helps me to not spend more than I need as well and helps with paying off debt and saving money as I can see exactly what is going out all throughout the month so I know what I have left! Just looking at the app today tho and looks like the dates are out by 1 day, it’s Friday 2nd October today but the 2nd is showing as the Saturday? Not sure if it’s me or how to fix it?

Cant use app without paying.

Yeah i liked how it was going when i was setting it up but it disappointed me when i realized im apparently not even able to use the app with paying for it. So no thanks, if im paying for an app then i’d like it to be something actually benefiting me. Theres other apps that do the same thing for free :/

NEW LOOK

this new look is awful and ugly. there should at least be an option for both the old version and new. it’s so hard to read! might be switching apps

Maybe a totals category?

This app has made it easy to stay within my budget, just wish it had a totals category of my spending so I can see how much I spent on specific envelopes monthly

Locked behind paywall

Why bother requiring someone to go through full app set up just to have all usage locked behind a paywall? Delete!

Best budgeting app ever

Love this app for biweekly budgeting. It’s easy to use and keep up with. Super bummed now that I switched to a Google phone. Please create a version for Android phones quickly so I can subscribe again!

Not Free

The app isn’t free. It walks you through setting up each envelope but a paywall blocks you from actually using the app. Leaving a 5 star review so more people will see this.

Free

It’s not actually free

Monthly Subscription

It would’ve been nice but I’m so over monthly subscriptions for everything.

?

Never mentioned that you had to pay, when the whole purpose of the app is to help save.
