5/5Awesome developer and app!
I love this app! I’ve been looking for a FREE way to set up a budget and this is it! And I love the developer’s commitment to generosity and helping others. There is a premium version of the app that allows a couple of extra social features and to sync across devices (the app is still VERY functional in the free version, which is what I have), and TJ still offers the premium version for free to those who can’t afford it! What a blessing this developer has chosen to be! Thank you for your generosity and commitment to helping others take control of their finances, TJ :)

5/5Simple and Basic, Just What I Needed
I am really happy with this app. It’s exactly what I needed and so simple. I’m able to set up envelopes with a pay period allotment to each and I can also set up savings envelopes for goals. Being able to transfer between envelopes and having a record with bot capabilities is great. The only complaint I have is not being able to see the notes at a glance when looking at the transaction history but having to go into the transaction to look at notes.

5/5Easy to use!
I have looked for months for an app like this! I love how easy it is to track spending and share it with my spouse. I also really like how eat it is to roll the balance over to the new envelopes. It’s perfect for people who get paid every two weeks. There’s not a bunch of extra features that I don’t need. We follow Dave Ramsey’s plan and I was always uncomfortable with having so much cash on hand. This app makes it possible to follow his budget plan but still keep our money in the bank!

5/5Wow!
After downloading and deleting several envelope budgeting apps, this one is a breath of fresh air. It’s visually pleasing, simple, concrete, just what I needed! Budgeting is hard enough for me and I don’t need it to be complicated! I also LOVE how they give a visual for the money you are spending AND saving. Such a help to remember the value of what I’m swiping, which can so easily get lost in our day and age.

We know exactly where our money is going and it gives us financial peace. Please keep updating and improving this app! It is super helpful!!
