My favorite app

My husband and I have been using this app for YEARS, it’s the only thing that keeps our budget on-track because it is so simple

Love the simplicity

We just needed a simple envelope app - and this is it!
The one off purchase price is sooo much better for us than a subscription. And the quick deposit feature is great.

One star short of perfect

It’s too bad that the developer for this app doesn’t update it so that it works in the cloud so that it can be shared between devices. This is the only app like this in the App Store. I would actually pay $15 a year for a subscription if it synced between devices.

Love the simplicity

I love the simplicity of this app. Too many apps have too much going on when you login. The only thing holding me back from using it is the lack of ability to categorize transactions and see them visualized in a pie chart (for each envelope) so I can see at a glance where my money is going each month. This is what helps me make changes over time to further reduce the amount I need to put in each envelope. Would love to be notified if this feature is added in the future.

Love everything except…

This app is great! However there’s 2 small things that I’d LOVE to see added. First, it would be great to organize the envelopes further into folders! (Ex: bills all in one folder, subscriptions in one, etc). Second, it’s minor but I’d like to change the color of the envelopes using a color wheel instead of being limited to preselect colors!
