✓ Stall, crash, and burnThis app has potential to be helpful. My husband and I use (were using) the app to monitor our family bills, budget, and expenses. It’s nothing super fancy but was a simplified and easy way to employ the envelope method of budgeting but digitally. However, we’ve experienced many pitfalls with this app. The app appears to rarely be updated by developers a huge problem considering after the last major Apple update, neither my husband or I can actually get into the app! There’s a persistent error message and no way around it. So no one way to track our data or even view it. Here’s the other issue, we assumed we should be able to employ the “restore” from Dropbox function on our family iPad since that older version is somehow working. Nope! The app allowed us to resync to Dropbox and instead of pulling information from a few days ago when the app was working it wiped out everything! So in sum the Pros of this App: - Simplified digital budgeting using the envelope method - transactions organized by date - ability to create envelop categories - ability to share across devices Cons: - Very few updates - App inaccessible with latest Apple Update - When app was working it would crash often - when working takes a long time for any input to load and appear on the transaction screen - Cannot rearrange order of envelopes automatically or by a drag and drop - Cannot delete envelopes without permanently screwing up all of your accounts - Cannot collapse envelopes in an envelope category - Sometimes has syncing errors in which a transaction shows up twice - Transactions are automatically sorted by date and in alphabetical order not by date and time, so double checking with bank accounts can be challenging. - connecting with a Dropbox account for added sync and backup isn’t helpful - little to no helpful information exists in contacting developers or getting support with app issues.NutriheroVersion: 2.1.5

✓ Confusing App.Nice review from ivelopes... I still feel this app is horrible. I will check for documentation on website again, but could not open the PDF link from iPhone, reaches the introduction page and that's it...have no issues with other PDF files. Original post: Not very happy... Difficult to understand the flow of the app, said they have documentation went to website and all I could find was an intoduction to the missing manual. Only $3.00 but will surely contact Apple for a hopeful refund!.Kris1883Version: 0

✓ I really wanted to like it....While many others rave about this app, I just can't. It is not easy to set up....there's a file that you need to use to get everything where it belongs. It's not something you can just jump in and intuitively use. I just don't have the time or patience to utilize this. Sorry..PackerwidowVersion: 1.8.1

✓ Ok so far, but please add a few things!I like this app. It is pretty true to the envelope budget system. I read the pdf with no problems. I love that every account transaction is related to a budget transaction (if you want). I love that I can easily see a list of my transactions without searching thru each budget. I love that I can "clear" a transaction too. I love that I can easily transfer between envelopes. But, here is my wishlist: 1. Put page numbers in the users guide. 2. Allow the user to edit the preset account folders. The edit tab only allows me to edit the individual accounts I added--not the manila folder tabs. This is not stated in the user guide. I don't want to keep track of a retirement, investment, credit, loan or mortgage. The accounts interface looks cluttered/busy if you are not using those tabs. 3. Is there anyway that the user could be allowed to just have the envelopes, envelope name and amount and no big blue space? The reason I ask is because I have 18 envelopes for my family budget. It makes for a lot of scrolling up and down. I would love to see just the envelope, its name and the amount remaining right on the envelope. That way, 2 or 3 envelopes could fit on a line (i.e. less scrolling) on top of each tab. The big blue space just seems to waste space. Also, an option to hide the envelopes while displaying the manilla tab would be nice and again reduce clutter on the screen. 4. Remove the settings button (which only sets the projection months and resets the entire database). Replace that prime spot with the transaction icon that would also give you a field for selecting one of your accounts. That would make entering deposits/withdrawals much quicker and easier. Ex: if I am looking in one of my env. to decide if I have enough money to make a purchase, I have to tap out of the envelope transactions, tap accounts, tap to select the account and then tap the transaction icon to enter a withdrawal or deposit transaction. Not hard, but certainly not easy. 5. Can you give an option to allow the date in the month, day, year format for US users? 6. This is minor but I would love NOT to get a red circle with a minus when I am making a deposit and funding an envelope. It looks like a withdrawal. It would be great if it had a plus sign and was green. Make these changes and I would actually use this app and give it a 5. Thank you!.Debtfree2010Version: 0
