Better for YNAB

I read the book, You Need A Budget, and then downloaded the app by the same org. Goodbudget is simpler and works better.

Finally Fixed!

The app being broken for 5 days almost had me go to another envelope app that’s actually FREE for me to use because I’m a coordinator for FPU.
This CAN NOT happen again!
You’ve GOT to test the app updates before you roll them out!
I’ve used this app for about 12-13 years now, and have always been happy with it up until this mess up.
For this, you loose one star!

App not syncing

App and desktop are not correctly syncing across multiple devices, please fix.

What is this?

Maddeningly complex app for no reason. I just want a tool that downloads transactions that I can categorize. This app ain’t it.
