App isn’t free anymore

Good app, but why is there a trial i didn’t ask for now??

Two logins

Love the app. How can my spouse log in? Otherwise this wont work for us.

Still loving the app - would love to get rid of the percentage used

My phone auto-updated and now it shows the percentage used which isn’t accurate for the way I am using the app because it’s on a rolling basis! Would love to get rid of the percentage used option

Why are there still ads showing??🤨

It’s a great app, very simple and easy to use. My only issue is that I paid for the “ad-free” version subscription, yet every time I open the app, there are STILL ads showing up. HUH??? I have to manually go and restore my purchase every single time I open the app in order to get rid of the ads. Like why pay for something if the user experience is still going to be the same? It feels a bit fraudulent. I decided to cancel the subscription. I can’t support something like this. Not cool!😒

Simple and easy

Straight to the point and easy to use.

Not Able to Change Starting Amount

You can edit the name of the envelope but cant edit the starting amount. It seems useless if we need to keep recreating an envelope just because the starting amount changes...

Reliable and helpful!

Great app! I’ve used it for over a year now and it’s reliable and straightforward. The only thing I would say is that when I switched to a newer phone the homepage is cropped weird and the text is cut off. Still works though!

Easy and fast

Extremely easy to use, offline, and the analysis is a great feature providing insight.

Would like to have the ability to create a separate line of envelope budget like savings or another spending source with its own money

Remove ads?

Is there a way to remove ads? Very distracting. Otherwise love this app!!

Best budget app I’ve ever used

It’s simple, straightforward, easy to use. Minimalism is the name here. A suggestion I have is the ability to edit and delete single items, or make it easier to do if that’s possible already, rather than restarting the entire envelope.

Very Nice!

Super easy and quick to use, better than many others I’ve tried. Two suggestions I would make 1) transaction date - default to current date but allow editing. 2) list transactions in envelopes with newest at the top so I don’t have to scroll down to check if I’ve already added something.

Ad free version?

Love the app. It’s simple and straight forward but no ad free version?

Great Envelope APP highly recommend

This is a great app:) very happy with it. One thing to improve is the reset button is right next to another one that is commonly used. I have deleted all my information in my envelopes because the reset button was inadvertently pressed, with no secondary warning. If this could be moved or have a secondary warning when it is pressed that would be an awesome improvement to the APP.

Simple is good!

Not so simple that it doesn't have a few key elements that I appreciate (like adding a memo to each transaction, or being able to edit an envelope without just fully deleting it, like other apps). Only been using it a few days, but so far I love it. I can make debits or credits to my envelopes without having to physically manage and carry cash. Perfect!

The only thing I would change is shareability so my spouse could use it, too. For now, I just text him screenshots so he knows what's available to spend.

Simple & Quick

I downloaded 25 budgeting apps to evaluate & this one is hands down the best. It’s quick & easy to set up & even enter transactions on the fly.

There’s no learning curve, no gimmicks & no multiple pages to get through. I don’t need analysis or predictions. I simply want to add my transactions & be done.

The UI is crisp & clean which I love. I set my envelopes up in 5 minutes. It’s exactly what I was looking for & it’s free! Thank you developer, you did a great job

Great little app

The budget app I used for years started charging a monthly subscription fee. Hey, I’m on a budget, I don’t want to be signing up for a bunch of subscriptions. I found this envelope app which is perfect. It’s just very simple and basic and is perfect for what I need. It keeps me from having to use pen and paper to keep track of my monthly budget. Thank you to the developer.

Awesome app!

This is a great budgeting tool! Super simple and easy to use. The only missing feature is home screen widgets—it would be great to be able to track different envelopes directly from my home screen, rather than having to open the app.

Exactly What I’ve Been Looking For

I’ve been looking for a budgeting app that helps me visualize my bills in an envelope-style system. This app is nearly perfectly; no subscription, no bank account connection, no frills. The only addition I’d like to see would be the ability to type in notes for individual envelopes.

Works great!

Simple to use. Very hands on, just like a real cash envelope. You can rename or delete individual envelopes. Edit transactions. Set up quick transactions though dollar amount is left blank. You can even move the envelopes around so they are in the order you prefer. It allows cents and negative balances. Since it doesn’t sync with anything, no need for internet connection. Best of all, it is free!

Love the app, could benefit from different order of transactions!

I love using this app but I wish the order of the items could show from newest to oldest! It’s a little annoying having to scroll all the way to the bottom to see my most recent items.

Response from developer

Thanks for the recommendation. Glad you’re enjoying the app. A sort button for reordering transactions is coming in the next update.
