Ratings and reviews

Rather frustrating to use for a few reasons. You can't change your income at a later date to reflect income changes and you cannot open a different app - such as a calculator app - without any unsaved progress being entirely wiped out. I'm talking a 'start from square 1' level of data being wiped out. If you enjoy being fruatrated; this is the budget app for you!

I really like the app. It's the only one that I've found that does the envelope system which really works well for me. I never quite understood other types of budgets and would rather pay for service than get consistently advertised. I would give it 5 stars when it can be synced to my account and lets me add transactions to envelopes instead of manually doing it and trying to figure what I missed if it takes a couple of days to catch up.

An excellent all with only a few missing features. This app puts budgeting front and center, but it also allows you to track payees and to split transactions, among other helpful features. So many other apps were missing at least one feature. There are a few drawbacks. The account totals can take a while to update, which can be disorienting. Support for multiple currencies and the ability to attach photos to transactions would be helpful. Other than that, an excellent app.
