1. 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. 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.

3. 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!

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. 4/5A great App but needs a little improvement

   Goodbudget is an amazing app that helps with budgeting. It does what it is supposed to and can help everyone to understand how to budget well and effectively. Goodbudget has graphs that are easy and simple to understand. One of them tells you where you spend your money the other tells you how much you spend and how much income you get. Goodbudget has easy-to-understand features and if you don’t understand they took time to create videos on how to learn to use the app well. The app also helps show you how much you spend and save to keep up with your finances well. However, this app isn’t perfect just like everything. One negative about this app is that there is a paywall to get all the features and it can be tricking when first starting. The videos created are also a bit of a problem because they show that the app is very complex and can’t be fully used if not watched. Personally, one thing that bothered me was I needed to pay for an app about budgeting which I think is silly. I understand that the app is free and a paywall is there for the creators to earn money from it, you can improve on helping a basic user to add a tutorial on what each feature does. This would be very simple to add and will help more people to want to download it for its simple explanation on how to use it. Other than this simple thing I love your app and how you guys were able to make it.

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.
