United StatesEnvelopes is a virtualisation of the envelope budgeting method. It is simple to use and allows you to keep a close eye on where your money is being spent, but without the need to keep paper envelopes filled with cash around. ∙ Create unlimited envelopes and order them to your preference. ∙ Set up a budget with Quick Deposits and distribute your income to all your envelopes at once. ∙ Create withdrawals, deposits, and transfers with custom memos to track your spending. ∙ Secure your data with a passcode, and use Touch ID or Face ID if supported by your device. ∙ Choose from two themes (red or blue) to suit your preferences.
Simple design
This app may look too basic but really it is power. I tried a more complicated one but ran into issues with it not linking to the bank and it taking so long to enter your information. This on is really easy, but you have to know how to make it really work. This app wont teach you how to maximize, but if you have this knowledge already this is perfect. Even easy for teens to learn how to envelope budget.
United StatesGet back in the lab.
I love this app but I miss the old apps ability to attach notes/descriptions to the individual envelopes. Also it would be nice to be able to search transactions across envelopes.
United StatesSimplified household/daily needs budget.
Very easy way to track my spending and stay on budget as I save for a substantial goal. Perfect to have on my mobile phone without a monthly subscription fee. It’s like having budget envelopes in my pocket. Thank-you to the creator for sharing this.
United StatesLove everything except…
Would LOVE the ability to change the color of the envelopes using a color wheel instead of being limited to preselect colors!!
United StatesOld School Method for Modern Times
If most people are like me they probably have their paychecks direct deposited and seldom ever have cash on hand. This app allows you to use the old school method of putting cash into envelopes for budgeting, by allowing you to put your digital money into digital envelopes for budgeting. It’s a simple yet effective method when you’re diligent enough to keep up with recording your transactions. There are some possible improvements that could be made. As other reviewers have mentioned it would be nice to be able to sync to the phone of a spouse so both can be on the same page and know where the family budget stands. Would be nice if you could have multiple “accounts”, if you have a joint account and a personal account. Or perhaps an account for cash or for credit card could be created. Even without these features though it’s still a very useful app to use when budgeting.
United StatesNice and simple for the everyday person
Written prior: Nice and simple for the everyday person... but I’d like to see a few options added: -A history of every move the money makes (rather than having to tap on each and every envelope...) -A separate “tag” for each transaction. I’d like to have a tag for cash, checking, savings, PayPal, gift cards... or whatever I wish & be able to see the total of what is in each. It’s hard to put in any money but what’s in my checking for me, because the “total” number throws me off when I add cash into the envelopes. I can’t easily double check my work with my checking account’s amount. For example: I spend a $20 cash bill on groceries but have to use my debit to buy the remaining $2.49 from my checking. I want to know that I didn’t take $22.49 all out of checking. -A search feature would always be nice -A way to upload my data to the cloud/export to pdf... or something. Just in case something happens to my phone. Thanks for the great app! I’d love to see it continue to grow! 2022 additional notes: ditto to everything I said before. I’d still like to see more done with this app. Right now my top priority would be a login or some sort of way to backup to a cloud without backing up the whole phone. At a very minimum please update your app with new color schemes or something simple so people know this app is not dead. I use this app everyday and love the user friendliness of it. BUT I would still love to see more done with it!
United StatesLove it
I’ve used this app for three years and I love it. It’s simple and straightforward and helps me keep a decent budget.
