## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Was perfect until recent update

*2026-08-17*

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!!

**Developer response:** 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.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-08-15*

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! 🤣

### 1/5 — Recurring transaction

*2023-10-04*

This is a monthly fee???

**Developer response:** Good morning,

Please help me understand your concern. There are no monthly fees to use this application. The whole reason that I built this application is so you purchase once and then have access to it forever. 

Hopefully I can address your concerns. Thanks for leaving some feedback.

### 3/5 — Bad update

*2026-08-02*

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.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review.

### 3/5 — I love this app but….

*2026-04-03*

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

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! I’ve made some performance updates based on this review. Hopefully it resolves your issues!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-04-26*

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

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2024-02-15*

I’ve been looking for an app like this for a few months now. All the ones I’ve tried either have a monthly/annual fee or have ads plastered all over the screen. This app is cheap, straightforward, and easy to use. The only thing I feel that is missing is being able to change the colors of your envelopes. Hoping that will be added some time in the near future! Definitely would recommend!

### 5/5 — Super easy-Super usable!

*2022-11-13*

Straightforward app that is so easy to use!  It’s quick and most ppl have their phones with them all the time so it’s actually HARD to miss an entry!  It’s perfect for keeping track and having it visible whenever I need a quick look!  Love it!
