Best App

So simple. So easy. I love this app.

Easy & Helpful App

This app is amazing and so easy to use. Knowing where your money is going gives a huge peace of mind. Most people don’t budget their funds, they just hope to not overspend, that was me until I found Envelopes. I like that it’s just information, not actually connected to the bank. If the total number in my checking matched the total number in my envelopes app, then the budget is balanced! I like to run many categories, all the bills are basically fixed, but then I have the things that are variable- like entertainment, travel, clothes, household…these expenses have wiggle room, so I can change up the amounts as needed. I don’t ever worry about not having money for what I need/want- if it’s been planned for in the envelopes app and I’m balanced, I can cover that cost! Budgeting gives you financial freedom!

Love it!

I really appreciate this app! It is very simple and helps. Keep all my digital money organized. Several of my children are using it as well and it just helps with budgeting and money management. I love how it’s customizable with colors and organization. Definitely worth it!

Outstanding Budget App

This is a truly great app for both information and financial discipline. Thank you for helping me have a perfect credit score for years. Try it - you’ll like it. Gil

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!

Simple envelope budget tool

Just what I was looking for when my budgeting program of 25 years stopped working. This envelope system is a no frills way to keep me on track and make sure I don’t over spend. Set up as many envelopes needed to pay bills, spend, and save. One thing I miss is being able to print a summary of the envelope balances, which came in handy when my last budget program crashed, but I can screen shot the envelope list instead.

Add export

hello there! awesome app! I use every day. I was wondering if you can add an "export" or "Share an envelope" option, u know, Like, hey this is what I have spent during my trip. export to PDF or excel. Thank you

I love this app. Simple, as a budget should be.

This app doesn't have any fancy bells and whistles, which is why I love it. Most budgeting apps try to do everything, like tracking your income, bills, spending, etc. But if you have your bills sorted out and set to auto pay, all you really need to worry about is your discretionary spending for the month. That's what this app allows you to easily do: allot money to envelopes, and withdraw what you spend.

Great app

I have been using this app for quite a while. I love it’s simplicity and ease of use. I’m always able to see how much money I have in each envelope, without having to carry around a notebook. I do wish I was able to add my husband, so he can see what is in each envelope.

Love this app

I love how simple this app is to use. But I just wish it didn’t show me my total balance at the top. I like how is shows me for each envelope but I wish the total was not on top. Or that there was a way to remove it if you like. But other than that this is a wonderful app.

Easiest Budgeting System

Raised 4 children as a single mom using this system. Stopped using it for a while and realized I have personal goals that I want to accomplish and this system will definitely help me from my past experience.

Simple design

This app may look too basic but really it is power. I tried a more complicated one but ran into issues with it not linking to the bank and it taking so long to enter your information. This on is really easy, but you have to know how to make it really work. This app wont teach you how to maximize, but if you have this knowledge already this is perfect. Even easy for teens to learn how to envelope budget.

Get back in the lab.

I love this app but I miss the old apps ability to attach notes/descriptions to the individual envelopes. Also it would be nice to be able to search transactions across envelopes.

Great app, everything I need for “digital cash stuffing”

This app is great. It does everything I need to do “digital cash stuffing” (without envelopes and actual cash). I like the clear interface and Quick Deposit feature. I also like the fact that it doesn’t have extra unnecessary features that really just make budgeting apps confusing and overly complicated. My only critique is that the User Guide is a bit long and doesn’t have a search function (from what I can tell) so a search function, FAQ section or app tutorial would be great for the few occasions where I have had questions. Otherwise it does everything I need and has been great for helping get my budget in order!

Love it!!

So simple and easy to use!

Only thing I would love it to have, Is to be able to group envelopes in different groups so you can have the balance at top for each group.

Simplified household/daily needs budget.

Very easy way to track my spending and stay on budget as I save for a substantial goal. Perfect to have on my mobile phone without a monthly subscription fee.
It’s like having budget envelopes in my pocket. Thank-you to the creator for sharing this.
