1. 4/5Great simple and easy to use.

   I have been using this app for a month and I recommend this app because of how easy and simple it is to use and add transactions. There are many good things about this app,Like when you first open the app there are not any random ads popping up and leaving you confused, something that i also found interesting is that you can make your own envelope and add stuff, the app is also really easy to understand all the instructions are clear and easy to follow. I have to say there were some stuff the app did not do well, the apps aesthetic was really bad, the whole app was just one color, also being able to find the pie charts and other stuff about the app took me 3 days, the instructions should be more clear about this because i never realized that the app has pie charts. Although a good budget is a great app, there are some missing features in the app. The app should give some notifications not too much but maybe 2 notifications per week to remind the user that the app still exists and to remind them to add some transactions. The app should also add a feature where you can add pictures to your notes. Also having a small tutorial when you first install the app would be a great help and a good idea.

2. 5/5Goodbudgeting for 6 years and still loving it! :)

   Goodbudget has been there for me through all my life and job changes as an adult! I started using Goodbudget when I graduated from college over 6 years ago, back when I was single and had two part-time jobs. Today, I am married and my partner and I each have a full-time job. We have the paid version and track everything in our budget, from birthday gifts to haircuts—we have 40 envelopes. Goodbudget has helped us save for a car, take multiple vacations abroad, and budget for emergencies (car break-ins, flat tires, parking tickets—the Emergencies envelope saved us!) and save for a future home renovation. Here are my favorite things about Goodbudget: 1) Great flexibility in tracking multiple paychecks – I used to have two incomes; one was once a month and one was every Friday, now I get paid twice a month and my husband gets paid every other Friday. We schedule our paychecks to post on the days we actually receive them and fill our envelopes at the beginning of the month using our cushion. Works great. 2) The envelope faces are cute and kind of sassy. Wish I could use the shocked one as an emoji! 3) I just got access to the new debt features and now we can start tracking our mortgage paydown—it’s great that it even calculates the interest for me! There’s a report that shows me my projected payoff date based on my monthly payments. 4) We have monthly meetings to go over our spending and saving goals, and it's really easy to pull up our Goodbudget reports to see our data, organized in a way that makes sense to us. Thank you, Goodbudget!

3. 5/5Detailed enough without being overly complicated.

   I tried out several apps and online programs for budgeting until settling on Goodbudget. Those include You Need a Budget, Mvelopes, Every Dollar, and Mint, and perhaps others that I’m not thinking of. My preference for Goodbudget is probably very much a personal preference as far as how I like to see accounts and information displayed. In the paid version, there is plenty of room for detail and keeping your different expenses and accounts separate without being overly complicated and technical. I like having an “unallocated” fund to keep excess funds before we have determined what they will be used for or in case our expenses are less for a particular month. I also like that it does not link to my bank account. Some may prefer that option, but I find that I am more aware of my expenses if I’m being forced to enter each one, and it helps force the habit of entering transactions as soon as they are made. The app and online site sync easily, and the expense entry system is intuitive and simple. In the app, entering deposits and merchandise returns requires a different series of operations from an expense, which is a little cumbersome but not awful. I also would love to have the option to take a picture of the receipt and store it with the transaction. All in all, it’s an easy app to use and provides the information I need at a glance. I think it’s definitely worth the money for a paid subscription. I started out paying monthly, but I’ll be upgrading to a yearly payment to save money.

4. 5/5Needs a couple features, but great app!

   I’ve been using this for five months now, and this is the best app for a digital version of the old cash envelope system, a la Dave Ramsey. It’s great because some budget categories get spent completely every month to a zero balance, whereas other categories may accumulate over time, like savings, and this app accounts for these growing “envelope” balances - something that every budgeting app I’ve tried lacked. As long as you, and your spouse, enter EVERY transaction, it’s a dream to use. And with the accounts feature turned on you’ll know exactly how much you have at any time. I have bank and credit accounts entered, so I always know their balances at a glance. WHAT IS LACKING: There needs to be a RECONCILE feature in the app for when you need to compare what’s in Goodbudget versus your bank or credit card statements - like a checkbox next to each transaction in the transaction list. It’s frustrating sometimes to try and make sure you’ve got everything entered but have no way to mark what you’ve already verified. Ugh! Also, there needs to be a SEARCH feature in the app to search for specific transactions. There is one for the website but not the app. ——- Get the app! Keep up the good work, Goodbudget!

5. 5/5Excellent App for budgeting

   Have tried many apps and software for budgeting purposes and this one by far is the best. I have been doing budgeting on paper for years and never could find one that would suit my needs and feel comfortable enough to replace the paper budget ledgers but this one does it. All of my budgeting requirements are met in this one app. Even putting in my credit card rewards which makes my credit card balance go down and my daily fund go up or whatever fund I want to credit with the reward is accomplished with this app. Never have I found an app that does exactly what I was doing until this one. Definitely worth the cost of a subscription to keep it. Makes budgeting fun. Keeps me in check and actually helps me save. Love the reports feature as well which I couldn’t get on paper. Helps searching for transactions if I need to find a receipt like an issue that may arise with a product I purchase but need the receipt for the manufacture warranty or extended warranty. All this can be input into the app and/or on the web with my phone. It’s a money saver and support is great. Heard back from a Developer within the hour of asking the question. Got my daughter going with it now as well to get her finances in order. I have an envelope system with my receipts and can record and track with this app. Other budgeting programs could not do it all as this one can. So glad I found it and tried it. Was about to give up looking and stay with the paper. All good now and my search has ended.

2. 4/5

   It's a great app, but can be a little glitchy. I noticed everytime when keying in a new transaction, i can't seem to scroll down. To reach the bottom part of the page, I'd have to hide my keyboard, tap on the fields below, and somehow the scrolling would work again

3. 3/5

   This was going to be a great manual way for us to keep track of what remains in our joint account and how it's allotted. Problem is it refreshed and refilled all the envelopes on the first of the month even though its midweek, not a payday, and now my records of what was allotted are gone. I wanted to fill the envelopes manually each payday for the following two weeks of spending which is never going to match exactly so what's with the auto refill? disappointing.
