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.
Keeps Spouses on the Same Page
I love this app and we have had it for several years, when it used to be called Easy Envelope Budget Assistant (EEBA). We did financial planning and budgeting classes early in our marriage and this app has allowed us to stay within our budget and communicating and recording our spending well. This has been such a support for our marriage and has saved us from many arguments!

dont know how this is a 5 star app
ashamed to say I wasted about an hour trying to make a budget. this application cant even do basic math. seems the math got worse when i added more envelopes. youre better off putting your budget in a note, I would never pay a monthly sub for this.
App Crashing and not saving envelopes
App keeps crashing when I try to input my debts with the “working to pay off” option and it isn’t saving my envelopes after pressing saved and I’ve just paid for Plus.
Updates needed
I have multiple accounts that won’t sync with the app for some reason (they sync with my other apps no problem). That makes this a bit tedious but still pretty good.
I also wish in the “annual budget” section that it would tell you when you have fully funded that budget for the year instead of only showing how much money you have left for the year. For instance, I don’t want to spend more than $2400 on gifts throughout the year but when I buy birthday gifts in Feb or March it only shows me the money left from what I’ve funded, but not how much more I need to fund. So it looks like I still need to add $2400 instead of the $2000 bc I spent $400.

Excellent for my needs!
Good budget perfectly fits the nuances of my situation. I’ve enjoyed the flexibility and features it offers!
No Bar Charts or Pie Charts 😕
Have loved this app and the charts but since the latest IOS update the charts don’t show up anymore. I checked and there has not been an update to this app since a month ago. Please fix this!
best budget app!
i’ve used this app for almost two years. it’s the perfect app for me to use for simple budget projection. i use the free version and it has everything i need! it’s easy to navigate and simple to use. i love it.
one suggestion— please fix the “due date” feature for “goal” envelopes, so that we can meet a goal for a single envelope more than once. sometimes i save the money for a particular category for a certain date, spend that money, and then want to save money for the same category again without having to delete the envelope history. but when doing this, it won’t tell me the amount to put in per pay period.

Better then anything I’ve used
Been using it for years. Keep it simple yall.
Ridiculously Complicated
It is more complicated than it needs to be I’m not going to be on for something that is forcing me to budget weekly monthly bi monthly tri yearly
Great Product
Very intuitive. Easy to use. Love the mobile app.
Terrific budgeting app
Have been using this for years - has been amazing for keeping track of budgets, is feature rich but non-invasive
Response from developer
Thanks for your review!
Not family shareable
It would be nice for this app to be family shareable.
Life Changing!!
I have used Goodbudget for about 10 years and it has helped me completely turn my financial life around. I was bankrupt and and now I am the most financially stable person I know. There’s no better way to budget than envelope budgeting!
Needs improvement
Needs improvement on a number of features. One example is at on income you have to list twice the amount being deposited.
Buggy
I’m assuming there was an update to the app recently because now I cannot enter in my debt payments. Please fix.
Exceptional Usability Phenomenal Impact
Hard to explain just how amazing this app is. I by no means live paycheck to paycheck, but the methodology of enveloping has enhanced my finances and savings to a tremendous degree. Knowing what I should be spending (not what I can afford to spend) assured I save ~10% more a year than I would if I’d have been flying blind. The auto linkage with accounts they rolled out recently just continues to demonstrate the teams commitment to a wonderful life changing product

Good principles, straightforward app
Good simple app - I find best to set things up on the website, and then this is a useful tool for knowing how much is in your envelopes when out and about and updating for expenses as they occur.
Response from developer
Hi there - Sorry for the trouble with crashing! That definitely shouldn't happen -- Can you send us an email to support@goodbudget.com so we can troubleshoot with you?
Outdated app with few feature updates
The premise of Goodbudget is great, but this is starting to feel like an old, outdated app with little to no feature updates and no user interface improvements. Definitely not worth the premium subscription cost they are asking for, and I have had nothing but chronic headaches even getting my paid subscription properly recognized in the app itself!
There are much better alternatives out there… save your money.

Scam
Paid for the subscription and my bank won’t even link. If you have Family Security don’t waste your time purchasing. The free version is also entirely wrong.
