  1. 5/5The app I’ve been looking for

    This app doesn’t sync to your bank which has been a huge problem with other budgeting apps I’ve tried, it doesn’t ask you to list every transaction of income and expenses which makes it harder to keep up with the amount you actually have to spend, and most importantly there is a guide to using the app. There are many reviews stating how it’s confusing or not user friendly but it took me about two seconds to find the button that says “Help” in the settings section. It tells you what each button does, how to use the functions, etc. My absolute favorite thing is that the premium option is both cheap and a one time payment so this isn’t a money hungry app showing you annoying ads with their free version or having you pay a monthly subscription to keep using the app meant to help you spend less money. While the free version doesn’t have as many features (colors, amount of envelopes, etc) it states in the description of the app that it’s made that way intentionally to give the user a feel of how to use the app and see if they want to purchase all the features which I think is pretty smart. The app was made to be bought which eliminates the monthly subscription fee. It’s a great app if you’re looking for a digital version of an envelope binder which is what I wanted. I only have two critics and that’s the sorting feature and the colors of the envelopes. We should be able to sort them manually in an order that works for each specific person and a lot of the colors are kind of bland and repetitive. There is a huge variety of colors, don’t get me wrong, but some look kind of muddy or like a slightly darker/lighter version of another one so when they’re placed side by side they look like the exact same color. Other than that I absolutely love the app.

  2. 5/5Just what I needed!!

    My wife and I spent months looking for a budgeting platform or application. We ended up just using Quickbooks Pro (2021). However, we don’t use it correctly because we do the envelope system through their software which isn’t designed for that. It forces us to create new “banks” and it can be very time consuming and tedious to balance the budget. I’ve tried Every Dollar as well, but it left a lot to be desired. Needless to say, this app is literally perfect for what we were looking for. The only con that I have with this app is that there is no login system. If I were able to create an account and share it with my wife, we could both view our budget from each of our cell phones. Overall, for $5 you get a lifetime access to this software, and that’s beyond generous and helpful. Most companies want you to pay a recurring fee. If you’re struggling with money and need some organization in your life, get this app. In the words of Dave Ramsey, “you are the boss of your budget when you make the budget, but after that, the budget is the boss of you.”

  3. 3/5Good but could be a bit better!

    Hello! Just writing to say I love a lot about the app, such as the ability to add memos to the deductions and the dollar amount at the top. However, I have been noticing some things that I really wish were different. One is that there is nowhere to see what your original total was. I think it would be really helpful to see how much I would be spending per month if I spent everything in each envelope. Perhaps at the top if it was not just the amount left, but something like original amount/amount left, that would help with budgeting a lot. I was able to see the original amount before the month started, but then I realized I needed to add more envelopes, and couldn’t remember how much the total would be. Also, I wish there was a way to save each month rather than just deleting or resetting. That would help with tracking trends as well. What also has been bugging me a lot is that editing in this app is really hard. I have a really hard time with changing the amount in the envelope after I have created the envelope. Sometimes I realize I should have accounted for something else or want to divide one envelope into two, and most of the time I just end up starting over. I feel this could be made much easier.

  4. 5/5What I was looking for!

    I just wanted an envelope system, not to add my bank account, credit card, etc. Definitely didn’t need it in the cloud! Also didn’t want all the updates. I just see how I am doing overall budget wise and where spending is out of hand. This is perfect, plus no ads! So far worth the extra $5 to upgrade and I like the color coordination of envelopes. Suggestions: be able to sort envelopes via color (this may be available just haven’t found it yet—maybe directions under settings?) and have cents available for envelope deposits.

  5. 3/5Why can't you sync with another device???

    I was having fun until i decided to download this app onto my iphone and guess what I was like. Oh yeah, these apps will be able to sync. Of course they will every other budgeting app that I have tried. Does it and then guess what this app doesn't I wonder why is it to make more money off of subscriptions is it because I forgot to add sync but this just doesn't work and it's highly annoying. I decided to use it on itself with my iPad and my iPhone, it was really annoying though when I updated it onto my iPhone, it wouldn't update onto my iPad developers of Envy. Why did you never add this? Is it so you couldn't make more money it's very inconvenient and I would love it if you could add a syncing option cause I've checked you can't sync. It's also very annoying because I have a subscription on my iPad and if I wanna get a subscription on my phone. I'm gonna have to pay more four more dollars and I know you're probably thinking four dollars isn't that much I don't wanna have to pay extra money for stupid app that won't sync. Maybe people are like oh I don't really care about that for me. I do because I like things to be able to sync so I can do things quick and easily. Could you please add this developers? Holland all this app is amazing. It's a really simple app that is easy to figure out and easy to understand unlike other budgeting apps that I have tried sure I made a big deal out of the sinking thing, but it's really not that big of a deal for a lot of people cause not a lot of people have multiple devices that I know of at least and this app is just amazing. I just wish that it was a little more accessible to people who have two device sorry about that rant by the way I just get really annoyed about things that should be common sense to add, but aren't apparently.
