Was perfect until recent update

Couldn't find another app like this and used it for forever - now it's been updated, and aside from my preference for the old UI it's now so glitchy it's unusable. Can never even get the submit button to work to log anything. No good way to contact developer, only through twitter and got no response. Loved this app and wish I could go back to before the recent update!!

Response from developer

Thank you for the review. Apologies, looks like the Twitter account was configured not to accept messages or posts from strangers. That’s been corrected. Would you mind sending an email to simpleenvelopebudgeting@gmail.com detailing the issue with any screenshots / videos? In the meantime, I’m preparing a more robust support/feedback system for this app and will include it as soon as possible. Thanks again.

Bad update

I used to love this app, but the latest update is incredibly buggy. I can’t submit many times without refreshing the app 5 or 6 times.

I love this app but….

I loved this app because it’s simple cheap and effective for me but it recently been freezing on me.

Useless

This is totally useless—I mean really.

No months, no unallocated pool, no sense of a rolling budget.

Pointless really.

I mean I’m looking for a stripped down app, but this takes on a new meaning of stripped.

My excel spreadsheet has twenty times the formatting this thing has.

I’ll chalk this up as a scam. You got me! Don’t spend it all in one place! 🤣

Perfect

This app is user-friendly and simple - just what I needed to hold myself accountable with spending.
