iOS app continually crashes…
I have had the desktop app for close to 12 years and I love it… that said the iOS app has its problems…
1. Currently it crashes multiple times (read a dozen at least) every time I try to log an expenditure… I messaged support and have received no response. It happens to both my phone and my wife’s phone, I had an iPhone 6s and upgraded to 12 mini and it crashes all the same.
2. The wifi sync works fine it just would be nice if there were a server/iCloud type option.

Crashes way too often
Given that this is a paid app, and given that I paid for it in order to keep track of my budget when I’m away from my computer, I shouldn’t have to be constantly fighting to get it to sync. It crashes way too often, and requests for help from Snowmint are completely ignored.
App needs fixes
I love this app and have been using it for years. But there’s been a relatively recent update that has introduced some problems. The app crashes all the time now. Never had that problem before. A friend who also uses this app is having the same problem. I’m on iPhone 10 running latest IOS. Also, the bottom envelope now drops below the screen view, and you can’t open it without a lot of tries, because it’s mostly off the screen and can’t be selected. Another problem is on the actions screen the top most selection is now right up against the iPhone’s black space, difficult to select. Please please fix this app! It’s a 5-star app that has suddenly developed serious problems.

Doesn’t Work Now
Great, super product and would highly recommend it, that is up until iOS 13. Now once loaded, selecting anything, envelope, help, new... or anything at all. ... crashes the app. Update promised.. but when?
Does what is supposed to do.
Works fine!!
Needs updated
This app could use a graphical update to take advantage of the iPhone X. It’s been over three years since the last update. Love to see an option to make the font size smaller. The app works fine but I think the developers have either all died or quit their jobs. So much for free updates for life. LOL

No subscription! I just works!
I’ve been using this budget app for years and it works.
The envelope method is a proven system whether it’s “real” envelopes or the electronic kind.
I use both the macOS and the iOS versions and keep them in sync. Either version stand alone is great but I prefer planning at the desktop and keeping up to date on the road with the iPhone.

Love the desktop version but needs a little ore
I have been using the desktop version of Budget for a few years now. I really love the program but the major downfall of this app is that you can't sync between devices unless you have the program open and are hooked up to wifi. I admit I don't use this app as much as I probably should but the fact is that when I am out and about and I spend money from one category and my husband spends money from that same category, there is no way to sync that envelope. Every month I have to make major adjustments to my envelopes because we overspent in different categories. I am not at my desktop every day and usually only balance my desktop budget about every two weeks. I started using another budgeting app (YNAB) that syncs between devices in real-time, but the features in that other program seem elementary compared to the Budget desktop version. I would definitely give it 5+ stars if there was a way to sync between my phone and my husband's phone.

Great app
Please add Touch ID to make it awesome!
Outstanding app
I've been using this app for almost two years. We do a monthly budget every month, and this app enables us to manage our money within the budget. I used various excel spreadsheets and tried several other apps before settling on this one. It does everything we need for it to do. It is customizable, and it syncs between our desktop, laptop and iPads. We have been following the Dave Ramsey plan for over four years, and this app has been very instrumental in helping us reach our goals. I've never written an app review before, but this app is truly outstanding. Love, love, love it!
Edited 05/16: I have now gone from Windows to Mac version. The Mac version required a little time to learn, but it is even better than the Windows version which I thought was awesome. Now set up with three bank accounts, and it works great. I have contacted support a few times during the transition, and the support is wonderful.

Needs Better Editing Features
I actually like the layout and the whole envelope idea. The reason I only give it 2 stars is because it is really hard to change the set up once you start. I used it about a week, but then I changed jobs and didn't need certain envelopes. I tried to delete some envelopes and it wouldn't let me. I tried to delete the account and just start over and I couldn't do that either. So now I have an unused app that I spent good money on that I essentially can't use. I've heard from customer service, but they told me to just trash the data file, which it isn't allowing me to do.

The app is amazing and support is even better
I use Budget Touch and Budget for Mac. Both apps are wonderful to use and great budgeting tools. The support from the developers is even better and is second-to-none. From bug fixes to feature requests they are always quick to respond and super-helpful! You should buy this app and use the envelope method for budgeting!!!!!

Fantastic App!
I use Budget on my Mac and Budget Touch on my iPhone and iPad. And have been using the Mac version for many years. I was very excited when Budget Touch, for the iPhone and iPad hit the App Store. It syncs very well between my Mac and devices. I really like the envelope method for budgeting and it fits my needs to a “T”. A few of my favorite features are the physical layout, the ability to sync and I like being able to change amounts so easily. I’ve had to contact support at Snowmint about a couple of problems I experienced. The replies were fast and the solutions effective. I give their support an “A+”! I also use Quicken which is excellent for managing my funds. But for maintaining a budget with the flexibility I need Budget has been my “go to”app. I couldn’t imagine getting along without it!

Disappointing update
I'm terribly dissatisfied with the update. I rarely used the desktop version. I tracked everything on this app and have been using it for several years. The update doesn't allow me to see all transactions per account. Before I could tap the icon to the right of the specific account on the account page & see all transactions. I could also make a "payment" to another account from this location allowing for a split transaction. Now I'm not sure how to transfer from one account to another. The option isn't even offered in the specific envelopes. Only transferring between envelopes is an option. Your update has just removed a major function of the app. I want what I paid for!! I want to be able to track ALL transactions without having to do double entries. Please fix these issues!!

Okay
Update: They supposedly updated this on Oct. 8, 2014? Still will not sync with desktop. Useless currently. Still hoping they fix but the longer it takes the more likely it is I will have found something else to use.
Currently the iPhone app will not sync with the desktop app on iOS 8. When that is fixed this is a 3 1/2 star app. It is kinda unwieldy unlike the desktop app which is easy to use. With sync currently broken this is useless. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Not worth it
I love the desktop version of this software, but the iPhone version is hard to use and not intuitive like the other version. I wouldn't recommend it.
Awful
Not easy to use for simple tracking of finances. Just not easy! Waste of money!
GW (UK)
Tried most of the budget apps going, this is surely the best. Income goes into predefined envelopes, so you know exactly what you can spend. There is a desktop version which you can perfectly sync with your Ipad. Excellent response from developers from email. Highly recommended.
Not Worth a Dime
The app is severely limited. The directions for the app are misleading. This app is not worth $5.99. Don't waste your money.
Pretty useful
I have tried some of the other budgeting apps, and this one provides the best functionality. It has a good envelope implementation, especially when paired off with the desktop app. The biggest issue is synchronization. It is a pain if you need to sync multiple devices since you need to sync through the desktop app. It is especially annoying that the transactions are not editable on the iOS devices after synching.
