Goodbudget Budget Planner for Positive User Reviews
✓ Simple, easy to use, very effective!The key to success is being able to set goals, track and achieve them. I've been using this app with my wife for approximately 2 years now. I would never consider not using this app as it ensures we know exactly what the money in our bank account is allocated for and assists us in knowing when bills are due, etc. Great app - 5/5!!.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Super ConvenientIf you love the idea of the envelope system but hate how messy it is to actually keep track of all the envelopes and money in your budget then you will love this app. It gives you virtual envelopes to help you dictate where your money goes so you can easily keep track of it throughout the month as you get paid and spend. I'm recommending this to all my friends. I had some issues with crashing when I first started to use it, but it's been working great since then. I've been using it for a month and a half and it makes doing the budget and keeping up with it so much easier. It syncs seamlessly with my wife's phone so she can instantly see changes I make and visa versa. I even upgraded and found it worth the price..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Overall the app is decent but there are some downsidesI have used Goodbudget for the past month and I think it is a decent budgeting app. It is an easy app to navigate and simple to use. I haven’t really struggled to figure out how to use it since it's pretty straightforward. The design is simple and things are easy to find. I like the envelopes and think they are useful and help me be organized. This is a free app and so I like how I have access to all of this but don’t have to pay anything. However, this app does contain a few things that I didn’t really like. First of all, I feel like the app was very plain and wasn't very aesthetically pleasing to look at. The only color is a green part at the top of the screen. The rest is gray and black or white (depending on the dark mode). Alongside this, I had trouble signing in. At first it was really complicated trying to sign in and wasn’t working that well for me. A suggestion for the app that I have would be to maybe make it a little more appealing. Try adding more things to make it a little less plain and boring. Another thing could possibly be adding a tutorial option on the app if the user doesn’t understand. It would help new users understand and probably be more comfortable using the app..Version: 4.3.3
✓ Great app please fix this bugGreat app would recommend. Please fix auto-scroll to top of page for iPhone app..Version: 4.3.3
✓ BEST BUDGET APPGreat way to run the household budget with the family and view in real time.Version: 2.2
✓ Quality AppI can’t overstate how useful this app has been in helping me keep on top of finances, it’s made financial life seamless and effortless..Version: 2.1
✓ Great budget app. We use this app everyday.We use this We were looking for an envelope budget system. This seems like the best and has great backend support from the community and the paid support. I paid a subscription to get the better features and to make sure a company like this is there in the future. Great job..Version: 2.2
✓ Great functionality with outdated UI/UXI really live this app as it provides a great implementation of envelope based budgeting. From what I really like is that there is a clear understanding of what is the state of each envelope, and it is possible to send money from one to another! And their free plan is really nice! Thank you for it! I don’t mind to pay for it, to buy some features, but I absolutely hate subscriptions and that’s the reason why I don’t look at YNAB. The only thing I wish app has: a slightly more modern UI, a possibility to hide Accounts tab completely (as I have only one), and some widgets to see my money left on account and/or in envelopes directly on the home screen..Version: 4.3.3
✓ Great app to improve your financial healthThis app is great because it will help you change your spending habits Once your envelopes are set-up you can decide wether you can spend on this shiny new thing ... or not. This has been invaluable to help my wife and I agree on spending. This is also great for the kids: they all have their envelopes for sport, clothing, etc. and they now can make better financial decisions..Version: 2.1.6
✓ Great software for envelope budgeting!I've used Quicken, I've tried several other apps, there are definitely lots of good options out there. This app, though, has worked best for me for a couple years now. I love envelope budgeting--it's the only way that really works for me. And this is the most affordable option without having to sacrifice ease of use. The desktop interface is great, the mobile app is great. Do I wish it incorporated auto download from my bank and credit card accounts? Sure--that would make reconciling easier...though I've gotten so used to exporting and importing that it's a breeze now. I wish I could deselect all transactions at the start of reconciling instead of having to go through and clicking on each one to clear transactions--it's really the one thing that I don't like. Highly recommend!.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Money managing!My husband and I used to money watch. We have an app that helps us see what’s being spent but it didn’t help us money manage. We struggled to save and we would worry when money troubles would come our way. Now we use Goodbudget and we both have access through our phones. We money manage and it has been wonderful to be able to have different envelopes for appliances that will break soon or a roof that needs replacing in the next couple years. We don’t just budget monthly, we now can see where money needs to be for a new car and can slowly fill those envelopes for the coming years! We are a couple with a new home. This app has worked wonders for our finances and peace of mind!.Version: 2.0
✓ It is really “good”I’m giving this app a fiver because it really is good. What this app does is it helps you to think before you spend. THINK. Other apps don’t do this, instead they connect to your bank and then show you nice graph of what you have been spending your money on. Nice but not really helpful or encouraging self-discipline. Most people have a bad habit of waiting for payday then they spend it on what ever they want until it’s empty and they have to dip into savings or worse investments or even worse borrow from friends or family. That’s also a bad habit but many people do it. I’m even guilty of it at times. This app helps you to stop doing that. It has helped me and is worth the fee. It will take a few weeks to adjust your plan and discipline yourself. But it does work and will balance out. Think of it as a game. You have to win by not spending over budget. If you think it doesn’t work then you might have a spending habit you are unaware of. It’s up to you to identify it and balance what the app says and what your bank account says. It’s now my fave app. For now I’ll leave this review as is but I know later I’ll add some improvement requests..Version: 4.0.13
✓ Easy to useReally easy to quickly track your budget and stay within your spending by category..Version: 2.1
✓ EXACTLY what I neededThis app is amazing. I used the paper-envelope method successfully for years, but then started to get lazy & too addicted to my smartphone for all the paper. My finances became a total mess. I was in desperate need of something that emulated a style of budgeting that made sense to me, that was easy & simple, & that didn’t force me to link an app to my checking account (which I absolutely refuse to do). This app is all of those things & has been exactly what I needed to get back on track with my budgeting! I will say: the interface is a little counterintuitive & takes a little getting used to, but once you’ve got it it’s incredibly simple. It’s definitely not enough to give only 4/5 stars, in my opinion (which seems to be the only reason many other reviewers do). I am so grateful for this app & can see myself using this for years to come..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Love this App, however would love to see a couple features...This App is so amazing. I love the simplicity. Definitely worth the cost to stay on budget. However, I have a couple of features I would LOVE to see added. I would love a “Temporary Category” envelope option. When there’s a birthday or car registration etc that only applies to a particular month, it would be nice to see within the app interface which categories those are at a glance. Also, it would be nice to have a general “Notes” section, where I could make notes like “overpaid phone bill, it will be pro rated next month” so I can keep track of next month’s budget expectations..Version: 2.1.5
✓ Great appMy husband and I were looking for an app that helps to control together our house budget, this has been the best of all! We just record every expense at the moment of the transaction and we never miss to record it or are to scare to lose a receipt, we have all under control now!.Version: 2.3
✓ Just perfectSo simple to use. I’ve been searching for something like this for ages to keep track of all my budgets. User friendly and very effective. Thank you..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Excellently well executed solution to a common problemWe have used eeba for a year now, love the web site interface and whilst the ipad app is dated, it is very functional and quick. So pleased with eeba are we that we are soon going to go for the full option and run all our accounts through it too as well as the envelopes. It NEEDS an iPad app rather than trying to run an iPhone one in double size on the iPad!!!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Simple, straightforward way to budgetMy husband and I have been using the GoodBudget app for over a year now and we wish we'd been using it the whole time we've been married (6 years)! This app allows us to easily be able to see how much we have left in our budget for the month, so that we don't sit there and agonize over an unexpected purchase or going out to eat (the two things we had the hardest time seeing eye to eye on). I've recommended this app to so many of my peers. We like the fact that you have to manually enter your purchases. It makes you think a little more before you buy something!.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Fantastic!We have been using this app for 4 years and it has changed our lives. It really makes you see how you spend your money and where. We have paid off bills faster and save up for the things ie trips. We decided to pay for the app so more than one person in the household can use it. We barely look at our bank account. I don’t know what we would do without this app. Great investment!.Version: 2.8
✓ EfficientPlenty of options. Quick to learn. Smooth performance and user interface. Free. It’s a shame I can’t give them more than 5 stars.Version: 2.1
✓ Amazing appBeen using this app for couple years and made budgeting much easier. Would like if it supports app pin and/face id option for security and for all reports from the web version to be available in the mobile app as well..Version: 4.1.1
✓ Great Budgeting AppThis App has been the best one I have used for quite some time! The only thing I wish it would have is the ability to group envelopes. As it is now it just seems like it eventually becomes a long list of endless envelopes, which isn’t terrible, but after a while it can be tough to navigate through it all as the number of envelopes grows. It would be great to make customized groups of envelopes like when budgeting for a project and making envelopes for every item in the project under a specific group to make it stand out from all the other envelopes. It’s a small thing but beyond that I absolutely love this app! Keep up the great work!.Version: 2.6
✓ Complete peace of mindI have to say that this “little” app, made for several platforms and web based, ensures that my wife and I maintain complete oversight and control of our finances. I split my spending using the 50:30:20 principle and created envelopes for sub sets within each e.g (50% need)Groceries, (50% need) Fuel etc. At the end of each month I can compare my statements against my Goodbudget record. It is a very powerful app but very simple to use. I cannot recommend it enough..Version: 2.1.4
✓ Paid Off Student LoanI used Goodbudget to pay off my student loan. It’s a terrific little app..Version: 3.2.1
✓ Works Flexibly, Like Money DoesI used several budgeting apps before this one, and they're all too stiff. What if you don't need any hair products this month, but you desperately need socks and you're out of "clothing" money? What if you want to take all your extra money at the end of January and put it into savings? All doable on Goodbudget. I started paying the $5 a month after my three month trial because I really liked it that much. If you follow Dave Ramsey at all, this is like an electronic envelope system. I really suggest starting with the actual envelopes (or the wallet-- it's on their website and it keeps all your daily envelopes together in a classy wallet) for a year or two until you get the hang of it. There's something important about watching your money come and go. Once you get that down, and learn to stay within budget, the Goodbudget app is perfect..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Very helpful for usThis app has really helped us track our spending and make sure we have enough allotted for all our bills. It’s basically the digital version of the cash envelope system. The only thing that drives me crazy is when I’m scrolling through transactions and the app “refreshes” it automatically scrolls back to the top. This is so frustrating when I’m trying to find a certain transaction that may be further down. It often takes me several tries to find it. This is fine for maybe the first time you’re in transactions so you can make sure everything is updated but to continue doing it every 30 seconds is annoying. I wish it would just stay where I have scrolled to until I scroll back to the top..Version: 4.1.1
✓ Awesome!This app is awesome. We used to use Quicken and it would take forever to update the program then try to see how much was in the budget. Plus, their budget feature is seriously flawed. It’s an after thought at best. Goodbudget is different because you can update as you go and you enter thru the budget. At any given time you can see how much is in the budget. Even on your phone. So easy and logical. It has been a game changer for us. Staying on budget used to be hard because we never knew how much was in the budget. Now it’s just hard because it can be hard to stay on a budget. But it’s easy to see how far off budget we are!!!.Version: 2.3
✓ Loooove it!So easy to use & seriously effective way to track how much money you have left for your budget! It’s been such a money saver for us already as once that envelope is empty (even if the bank isn’t) then we stop spending. Love Love Love this app!.Version: 2.0
✓ Simple, easy and works for a householdGood simple app. Works well and can be shared on different phones so all the family can add and track spending..Version: 2.1.3
✓ Excellent budgeting but needs more customizationThis app is exactly what I wanted for budgeting. Regular budgeting apps made no sense to me, since I typically don’t spend over $5 a month on coffee and didn’t need that kind of budget, but maybe one month I’m traveling a lot I might spend $15 on coffee. The lack of rollover would frustrate me on other apps. This allows me to have a single savings accounts, but know how much exactly I have budgeted for certain thing, which is not everything in my savings. I used to hate the manual inputing of transactions, but now that I have the hang of it I don’t mind it since it gives me time to make sure my statements are correct. The reason I gave this 4 star though is that I wish there was slightly more customization. Your options for envelope savings are irregular/annual and picking ONE other way (monthly, biweekly, etc). This doesn’t work well for me since I budget my rent monthly, my grocery’s weekly, and my insurance every 6 months. I wish in the premium version, at least, they had the option to break down the way you want to budget envelopes in more depth. I would immediately purchase it then..Version: 2.6
✓ Very usefulWe've been using this for some time, since its previous incarnation as EEBA. We find it very helpful. We both have it on our phones. There are a few things you have to go on the actual website to do, and certainly when initially setting it up it needs to be on the website not the app. The website is clunky and I'm glad that there is no need to use it after the initial set up. I used to have it on my Kindle too, but sadly it's no longer supported for Kindle (despite being told I could get it on my new Kindle - that might be true in the USA, but IS NOT true in the UK) which is a pity, as that app had a search function which was really really useful when checking off bank statements. The iPhone app does not have a search function, which is a big omission, and for that reason I'm investigating other budgeting apps..Version: 2.1
✓ Ace appMy most used and most useful app AND it’s free!.Version: 2.1
✓ Great app!I’ve been using this app for about 7 years. So easy to use and helps us save! Definitely recommend to everyone!.Version: 2.2
✓ Fantastic!Love this app... Super easy to use and really helps with keeping finances on track..Version: 1.5.4
✓ This app will help you save moneyI spend a lot of money, and didn’t really have a way to keep track of the purchases aside from the bank statements i got. mint by intuit is okay, i tried several other budgeting apps too but the problem is: many other budgeting apps will auto categorize your spending, meaning that if you shop at walmart and get eggs, the app may write it off as shopping, but if you get a shirt at kroger, it’ll be considered groceries. enter: goodbudget. when you’re keeping track of your finances yourself, there’s little room for error one way or another. it’s also nice because you can physically see how much you have in one envelope or another. the app will let you track debt & set goals for saving. if you have a separate bank account from your main one, it’s really useful in showing how much money you have OverAll. because you can see the money you’re spending, once an envelope runs out, you’re done. there’s no more spending in that area. it’ll really help you save more and spend less. highly recommend for anyone that spends a lot of money !.Version: 4.0.13
✓ Handy Budget AppOverall this app works really well, particularly as it can be synced across multiple devices. The envelope system is simple and a conceptually easy way to budget. It is all manually entered, which I find helpful to actually see what you are spending and helps you stop and think. You can also set up recurring payment things that are the same each period, like some bills. Which is handy..Version: 2.1.6
✓ This app ruined my lifeEver since I started using Goodbudget, my shopping has plummeted down to essentials and a small splurge once in a big while, I pretty much eat out only when dining with friends, and now I have all this money left over to build my savings and even make a donation, all because of this stupid app. I don’t even know who I am anymore. The set-up takes some time, but once you get past that, the app makes it easy to manage your budget. I manually enter every purchase or bill, but the benefit of this is that I’m more consciously aware of every time I spend money. Get this app, and ruin your life. Or change it for the better. It all depends on which way you look at it..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Tell your money what to do before it leaves youI’ve been using this app for at least 8 years (Remember when she was called EEBA?) This app motivated me to take charge of my $, pay off debt and live an intentional, enjoyable life of financial stewardship. I’m a disciple of Jesus Christ and a student of Dave Ramsey. This app is FAR more robust than Every Dollar. Discipline yourself and your spending and you’ll be sweetly surprised as your financial goals are achieved: debt free living, achieve savings goals to purchase cars for cash and to pay off a mortgage early. Budgeting would be a horrible chore if it weren’t for this app. The sales / tech support team are top notch. You will not regret making Goodbudget a part of your personal finance tool chest. I use it WITHOUT linking to external accounts to force me to balance and track my accounts. Try the free version and commit yourself to track all your spending (ALL YOUR SPENDING) for 2 months. This will help you develop a budget. If you’re using the free version with consistent discipline for 2 months, upgrade to the full version. You won’t regret it..Version: 2.8
✓ Has saved me thousands; but it’s time to step up the technology!I have used Goodbudget for 3 years now, and it has absolutely changed my life. Even as a single-person household working in human services, Goodbudget helped me save a down payment for a house, which I bought 18 months after I began using the program. Today, Goodbudget helps make paying all the monthly bills possible and still have money for 401k and for whatever fun goals I set, such as saving up for an overseas vacation or a new car. My parents began using Goodbudget a year ago, and they have also saved thousands within the course of a year. I can’t recommend this program enough. That being said, it’s high time that the IT department stepped up its game. The app hasn’t been optimized for iPhone X, envelopes cannot be fully customized on the app, etc. If I’m going to keep recommending the app to all my friends, I hope they will step up their game and make the app something to be really proud of. (I don’t like recommending a program and then apologizing to my friends because the app is lacking in areas). Also, pricing could be reduced to attract more newcomers, in combination with starting a referral program so we could be rewarded for bringing Goodbudget brand new long term paying customers..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Changed my lifeI was in debt, about $10k. My girlfriend recommended I try the Dave Ramsey envelope system. I tried it for a month with cash in envelopes. It was a disaster. I rarely used cash anyway, so it was cumbersome and unfamiliar. I would go grocery shopping and forget to bring my grocery envelope. I thought there must be a better way to do this. Goodbudget to the rescue! It’s been almost 6 years now using the app, and it’s absolutely changed my life. My wife and I pay for the yearly subscription and it’s worth every penny. The best thing is that at any given time we know EXACTLY how much $ we have for each category of spending. It’s eliminated almost 100% of fights about money. If you’ve never lived in a budget it will take a little getting used to, but it’s so worth it. I’ve always been bad with money and was never able to save anything. Now, it’s easy! Thank you Goodbudget!!!.Version: 2.0
✓ Solid Budgeting AppGood app! Takes some getting used to and could definitely be a bit more intuitive, but good features and layout for a free version..Version: 4.0.7
✓ Cannot thank you enoughBeen using this app for 3 months now. We're finally in control of our finances and know exactly where every penny goes. I cannot recommend it enough: simple and intuitive UI, that makes you want to input each transaction as it goes without delay..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Great for first time budgeters, could use some improvement.Easiest user interface I've seen among envelope budgeting apps that cover basic needs in budgeting, and it's nice that they don't put a time limit on the free version while you're first getting your finances under control (though the paid version is definitely worth the unlimited envelopes!). Mobile version is clean and functional. Reports are decent too, though some other apps allow you to get more detailed analysis. Reason for only 4 stars is that they're are a few random annoying glitches, most notably that if you edit am existing budget, you can NOT see what your total budget is adding to as you edit, so I have to budget in a spreadsheet first then copy it all manually into the app to ensure I'm not budgeting myself into a deficit. It would also be nice if they added the ability to link directly to accounts like mint does in case I miss a transaction, though there are pros and cons to enabling people to be less hands-on in their budgeting..Version: 2.0
✓ Best budgeting app out there!I like the envelope approach with this app. It’s not always intuitive but neither is a lot of the other budgeting apps I’ve tried using. Would recommend this above all other budgeting apps!.Version: 4.0.13
✓ Envelopes and budgetThis is one of the best budget and envelope apps I've tried. User friendly. Clear and easy to see what's going on. Easy to enter expenses as they happen. Makes budgeting almost fun.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Generally good, but hard to make modificationsI find good budget to be an excellent way of tracking expenses, but oh boy, if you need to make changes to your budget it is very difficult to use. I have had to delete everything and start from scratch as I could not work out how to make and save changes. It is not intuitive..Version: 5.1.2
✓ Best budget app!Goodbudget has been my go-to budget app for years. It's the best, easiest, and simplest replacement for the old cash envelope budget system. I use the free version, so I don't have bank account syncing, but I've always been diligent about tracking my transactions and checking my bank account to make sure everything lines up, so I don't feel like I'm missing anything. On payday I simply go in and fill the appropriate envelopes and it keeps me on track with all my bills and living expenses. I love that the app has an "Annual/Irregular" feature, which I use to track my "sinking funds" like car maintenance and pet bills; things I might not spend money on monthly, but I still budget for. I use the 10 monthly envelopes to track my monthly bills and daily spending like groceries and gas in my checking account and the annual/irregular envelopes to track my sinking funds in my savings account. I love this app and will continue to use it as long as it's around!.Version: 2.1.5
✓ Love! (only one feature missing)This is my favorite budgeting app by far. It changed my financial life and I feel like I finally have control of my spending. There is only one feature missing. I wish it would connect to me bank account and import transactions. I don’t need it to do it automatically and I would never want it to categorize the transactions for me. However, when my numbers are off and I need to reconcile or when I’ve fallen behind in entering and need to catch up, it would be so helpful to be able to directly import the information with a manual trigger. This would eliminate technological issues encountered with the download and upload which is an step that only serves to distract and create unnecessary obstacles..Version: 2.7
✓ Great budgeting app for couples and familiesI investigated a lot of budgeting apps, and this was one of only two I found that really allows more than one person to work from the same budget. This is really essential for a couple or family who share a budget, particularly if there is a joint bank account. This definitely had the better interface of the two I found. It allows you to keep track of multiple accounts, both shared and individual, credit cards, loans, even the cash in your pocket. Adding in a transaction when you buy something is as quick as it could be through the app (it even remembers the location of shops, so it can guess what shop you’re in). There is also a web interface that allows you to do much more on a pc/laptop, such as reports showing how much you’re spending on what, whether you are sticking to your budget etc. As an app I can’t fault it, the only quibble is the price. The free version is inadequate (can only have one account), so you have to pay £45/year subscription, not ideal if you are getting it to help you save money! But I reckon it’s worth it..Version: 2.3
✓ Finally...I can manage my finances!Am so glad I came across this app. Have been using it for 4 months now and it has made such a difference to my way of thinking about my money (and also my bank account). Cannot recommend and praise enough!.Version: 1.7.5
✓ Very Useful AppI'm not normally one for writing reviews but I've found this one very useful and pretty easy to understand..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Great appI am currently using the free version of this app and it has worked great. I have been using it for almost 1 year now. I love that I can manually enter my expenses and move money around. It has been a great visual indicator of what money goes where. I would recommend this app for anyone who likes to manually manage their budgets. And anyone who doesn’t want to link bank accounts (finally a budget app that doesn’t make you log into your banking!).Version: 2.2
✓ BudgetVery good. Easy to use. However unable to go back and change income amount once it allocated. Otherwise it's one of the best apps to use.Version: 1.6.1
✓ This saved our finances!We needed help and it came in the form of GoodBudget. Easy to set up, easy to use and the fact that it syncs between our phones means that we can both see - at a glance - how things are progressing in each Category. This has had a profound impact on our conscious spending. It’s honestly awesome. Can’t recommend it highly enough, we are now entirely debt free!.Version: 4.3.3
✓ So far so goodDoing budget on pen and paper is great, but it's obnoxious to pull out a notebook when I am so used to using a phone all the time. This app makes it simple--as soon as I make a purchase or pay a bill, I easily log it in the system and it tracks all my envelopes with no tedious pen, paper, and cash handling. Typically I can spend a lot of money and don't know where it's all going to--this app had made me a more mindful spender rather than going crazy with swiping my money away-logging my spending has kept me more aware of how much and how often I am spending money. Love this app so far and look forward to becoming a better steward of the money God has given me..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Very helpfulAn amazing Family budgeting app..Version: 2.3
✓ Easy to useA good little tool that is very easy to use to help keep track of finances.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Great budget appVery simple to use and the user guide is simple and very helpful Just what I was looking for.Version: 1.6.1
✓ All you need to stay in control of your moneyI've been using this app for years now. It's so easy to use and I always know exactly where I am with my money. Cannot recommend it enough..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Amazing!Wonderful wonderful.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Fab AppI’ve used this for a month now and it’s brilliant . It’s made so much difference to my budgeting . It would be good to have just a couple more envelopes on the freebie or an option at a much cheaper rate for just one more account . It’s great though ..Version: 2.1.5
✓ Great for quickly sharing visibility of household expenses with my wife :)Loving the simplicity.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Love this appSo easy to set up and use. Showed my Mum and now she loves it too..Version: 2.2
✓ Easy to use budget appBeen using this app for a few years and it really helps me stay on track with my spending. Very easy to use once you work out about accounts and transferring money around. Recommend to all my friends..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Great App. Tempting to upgrade to paid version.This app reminds me of another app that I use, called Expense Keep Pro, except that it does everything that I wanted Expense Keep to do. Syncing to multiple devices, account summaries that feed off of envelopes. Very cool. I can't quite justify upgrading to the paid version for personal budgeting. Wish there was a cheaper option to allow a user to have a few more accounts, maybe a one time payment that would allow for a few more accounts and envelopes. I might even be willing to pay a yearly fee of 10$ or less for up to 5 accounts, and maybe 20 more envelopes. ...Instead I settle for less at the free level... Either way, thanks for the great app!.Version: 1.7.3.1
✓ Life-changingI use this app constantly and have been for five months. It has changed my relationship with money. Yes, I wish it would do a little more - I would pay for the proper version if it went mid-month, gave a daily budget for each envelope and could archive the past month's spending. Having said that, I've recommended this app to everyone and know others who have been similarly impressed..Version: 1.5.4
✓ Keeps crashingThis keeps crashing when I add income. I’ve updated, deleted and reinstalled, and still having issues. I like this app. It works for me (when it works)..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Fantastic appI have been using this app for a month now and I feel like I am in control of my finances! The envelopes work really well for me, helping me to see exactly where my money is going and how much I have to spend in each area. I cannot thank you enough for this app..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Very useful app, just one annoying thing at the momentI have used this app for a few years now and am very thankful for its existence. Preface: I almost always use the notes on transactions to detail what exactly each transaction is, for convenience when I want to look back through them. The one annoying thing that needs to be fixed: when scrolling through transactions, if you tap one to edit it or see details (such as a note I’ve written), after you hit cancel or back out of it, the app automatically scrolls back up to the very top of your transactions. (This also happens randomly sometimes when simply scrolling down.) Pretty frustrating when I’m trying to go through multiple transactions from a while back that require a lot of scrolling, and then I have to scroll all the way back down to each transaction EVERY time. It would be awesome if I could keep my place in the scroll..Version: 4.0.13
✓ Good for AustraliaHave tried a few envelope budget type programs and previously used YNAB which was very good. The biggest issue has always been that most apps work on a monthly basis and assume that you receive a monthly paycheck. Where Goodbudget excels is that it allows you to budget on a Fortnightly basis, which aligns with the Australian system, and makes it much easier to work out. Ease of use and feature sets are very good. Doesn’t have a native iPad app but the web based login can be used on iPad..Version: 2.1.6
✓ Great!Great!.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Great at what it does.Excellent resource for keeping track of money and week to week finances. Would like to see some savings folders. (folders you fill up instead of empty) And the UI could be a lot simpler. But considering it’s free I can’t complain too much..Version: 2.1
✓ Very good app!Good Budget was kind of confusing to learn at first. Now that I’ve been at it for a couple weeks, I REALLY like it. I was looking for a very simple system that emulated an envelope system that is familiar to a lot of talk radio fans. I never wanted to carry physical envelopes. That seems archaic to me and very inconvenient at times. I also wanted something I could set up to automate my weekly budget allotment deposits into those envelopes. Also important was that it be as close to free as possible. This app did all of that for me. I didn’t want to over complicate the number of envelopes, so I only have four. That makes this completely free for me. Like I said, it wasn’t user friendly to learn and some of the controls of the envelopes aren’t very intuitive, but now that I’ve learned the system, I have automated it to do exactly what I want. I figured it out quickly, but it did take a bit of effort on my part. I’m glad i did. I really like the user interface, too..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Life-changingI have been using the subscription version of the app for years and it has been absolutely invaluable for tracking my finances and budgeting into envelopes. Features for filling in budgets by amount or rolling over balances provide a lot of flexibility that matches real world needs. Overall, highly recommend!.Version: 5.1.2
✓ Excellent App for Budgeting!!!Super good way to keep track of your monthly budget & spending by utilizing envelopes for each item. It would be nice if you could change the background colour, it’s green, which is great, but I would prefer blue!.Version: 4.3.3
✓ Excellent app for keeping track of your expensesI’ve been using the Goodbudget app for many years now and it has proven to be an excellent tool for keeping track of my expenses. Very easy to use with the ability to organise expenses into multiple envelopes with expenditure limits. One slight negative point: since the new update, I can no longer save the order of my envelopes, they just return to a random order once I restart the app. Hope the developers can fix this!.Version: 3.0.1
✓ Budgeting done!I have been using the app for one year and it has helped me do a complete 180 with my finances. I use to always be broke living one paycheck to another and now I have money saved and bills paid the second they arrive. The app helps you see where all of your money is going as long as you input everything you spend. The app is super easy to input the expenses and only take a few seconds once you have all your categories set. I don’t have my accounts linked because I like to only work out of good budget and then go back and balance it once I get my bank statement. This has worked so week for me that I am debt free minus the house of course and now I don’t stress about where all my money goes. It has taught me how to live within my means and how to save for the things I really want to do. Over the years I have tried other apps and never could commit to them because they were to complicated. Good budget has changed that completely, thank you!.Version: 2.2
✓ FantasticThis is the budget app we really wanted in our minds. Does everything, easy to use, shareable. Thank you developers..Version: 2.1.6
✓ So good I'm suspiciousThis seems a perfect app for people like me, who want to keep track of their household spending and make sure they are not wasting their money. it seems amazingly well designed for a free app. I thought it must have been made for some kind of educational charity; helping poorer people budget, that kind of thing. But no, it's a commercial company. It is incredibly easy to use. And while I don't normally like cutesy characters, the disappointed face your little cartoon envelope makes when you overspend does help you keep on track..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Decent Budgeting AppWhile there is a bit of a learning curve to understand how to use it, I find that it works best for what I need. That said, there are a couple things that would be great to see: - Bi weekly debt payments. Yes there are workarounds to this, but considering the subscription fees, I shouldn’t have to use a work around for a fairly common scenario - Grouped envelopes: This is super helpful on the web version, it would be cool to see this brought over to the iOS version as well. - iPad optimized version..Version: 4.2
✓ It’s great!Been using it for 4 yrs now to keep me on text with my spending .. I really like it!.Version: 2.4
✓ Very helpfulThis app has helped me manage my household budget. It's great!.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Best decision ever!In April of 2013 I estimated my income, created a budget, took some money out of savings and lived off last months income (accruing new income with which to create a new every penny allocated budget). I haven't looked back. I use the subscription level account so that I can use Goodbudget (then called EEBA) to balance all of my bank accounts (checking, credit card that gets paid off every month, savings accounts). I even got my sister to do the same thing. She used an income tax refund to start the live off last months income process. We recently upgraded our house. I couldn't have done it all without the Goodbudget tool to manage my money (instead of it managing me). My favorite features include: real time updates to envelopes so my hubby and I are always in synch, the progress bar that helps you make decisions on if I should really go out to eat or not, easy imports/balancing of all of my bank accounts. I couldn't live without this app. Goodbudget is AWESOME SAUCE!!!! Update: Here we are in May of 2019 and is still think this is the most awesome thing in the world. I would never want to manage my finances without this app. I reconcile my accounts every month and this app is a MUST..Version: 2.1.6
✓ Love this appIt's fabulous, my husband and I have been using it for ages. It helps keep track of everything especially annual expenses. Thank you!.Version: 1.3.5
✓ Awesome app, saves Money!!This is one of the best apps I’ve ever used. I started using it about a year ago, and have saved lots, and have been way more effective with my hard-earned money. I’ve used this app to help pay off 3 debts, saved for a major house repair that I paid in cash, and saved for future funds like tires and Christmas. And I’ve met goals, tracked them, and have done it all at once! This app has changed my family’s life and financial future! It’s super easy to use and incredible to watch your money grow or be put to the best use. The goal envelopes are one of my favorite features. I like it better than other budget apps because it has a reconcile function for the bank accounts. Most of the other apps automatically downloaded transactions, but didn’t have a reconcile function, and that was critical for me. What’s the purpose of having a use for every dollar in your account if you can’t confirm the reconciled amount? Even automatic downloads get messed up. Entering transactions in manually in this app is a few quick, easy taps and keeps me more on top of what’s happening in my account. I can’t recommend this app highly enough! Happy saving!!!.Version: 2.1
✓ Great App, Overly ComplicatedI like this app, it has all the features that I want. However, filling the envelopes is way more convoluted than it needs to be. I just made a budget and trying to figure out how to fill the envelopes is incredibly frustrating and unintuitive..Version: 4.0.13
✓ Life Saving AppThis application is the most important app on my phone. I don’t even look at my bank account so before I buy something. I look at this app..Version: 3.2.1
✓ Amazing appCan sync with your partner and work on desktop as well!.Version: 1.6.1
✓ FantasticIntroduced me to envelope budgeting which has changed the way I spend and save. App is brilliant.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Best budget app everI am so excited to be using this app. I've had it for one month only so far but am continually excited about its features as time goes on. I have upgraded to the paid version with unlimited envelopes and accounts (your people deserve to be paid for their time and expertise) and am learning something new all the time. Thank you, Goodbudget. I am now in control!.Version: 4.0.13
✓ Good but could be betterIt’s difficult to find a budgeting app that works just the way you need, but this one is super close. What’s lacking is the report feature really needs more options, both online and on the app. There are only two on the app! Online, you can download a csv file but mine was missing transactions. Also, you need to be able to download the budget envelopes amount. I had to create a spreadsheet with that info manually which was not ideal. I’m an accountant and an really enjoying the app but need a lot more analysis from it particularly for this price range. That is seriously lacking. But, I love the envelope system and how you can see the budgets and set them up to automatically be filled with income. At the end of the year, it would be great to see just where each envelope landed so that the budgets could be adjusted moving forward. It’s pretty simple to use and makes fiscal sense. Also, there needs to be a button for cleared/pending items. I see the last update adjusts for pending but I made a transaction for later this month and it’s not pending but already in the total. Thanks.Version: 4.2
✓ Great budgeting appMy husband and I wanted to better understand how our money was being spent, so we looked for an app to track all of our spending. We chose GoodBudget because we could sync the data between our phones, so if one of us added an expense, it would show up across all our devices. That would allow us to maintain an accurate, real time picture of our total family spending. We tried the free version for a while, and liked it so much we upgraded to the subscription option so we could add even more envelopes for an even deeper analysis. It’s been very helpful and I would definitely recommend this app..Version: 2.1
✓ Nice budget appIt can be a little confusing at first however once you get a hang on it it is actually quite useful.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Awesome appAwesome easy to use budgeting app. It is great if you like the envelopes budgeting system. The app works amazing for our family to see how we spend our money..Version: 2.1
✓ A great App but needs a little improvementGoodbudget 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..Version: 4.0
✓ This app has already saved me 1000s of dollarsI just started my third year using the goodbudget app. I used the free version for a year, by when I have realized that budgeting was saving me upwards of a hundred dollars each month. Simple keeping track of how much money I was spending each month in what categories helped me plan my budget and save money. After a year, I was willing to pay $45 for a year of premium services (measly compared to how much the app helped me save already). The premium service is useful to compare how much I was paying for various categories across the years. Also, keeps me track balances on the ten credit cards I've racked up as well as my checking and savings accounts. Goodbudget is a fantastic way to get financial literacy. Other apps (like Mint) which automatically sync with your accounts don't really work since there are many expenses which I've paid for friends and they pay back later. It is a bit of work, entering each expense manually. But I have at most a handful of expenses each day and it takes just 30 seconds for each expense. Using those 30 seconds to enter an expense is more beneficial than spending those same 30 seconds looking at a cat video on instagram..Version: 1.7.3.1
✓ Great app but I have a few suggestions.This app has changed my life. It is very user friendly and is exactly what I was looking for. My husband and I have a joint account for bills and I can’t get him to switch to this app (which I use for my personal expenses). Why? Because the app he uses directly imports the expenses from our account. I do like that feature which allows you to simply drag and drop those expenses directly into an envelope or category on the app. That’s the biggest thing I wish this app offered. The other thing is sometimes I put my paycheck in a day early so that it is already divided up and appears there on that day. Well even though I put the day of my payday in, it appears immediately in the envelope and I wish it wouldn’t. That could be user error on my part. Regardless, I LOVE this app and would recommend it 100%. If you’re not sure, try the free version first. You won’t mind paying for the better version once you see how great it is!.Version: 2.1.6
✓ Best budgeting appI budget weekly so this is helpful. Love the envelope system..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Get a grip on your expensesPerfect app to actually see where your money goes. A bit of a learning curve at first, but take the time to understand and then it is simply amazing uncluttered add-free (and free) little app !.Version: 4.2
✓ What would I do without this appThis app has been a lifesaver especially since my husband and I have joined to one account. I had been using this app for well over a year, since before my husband and I got married and it worked great. Now that the bank account is joint this app has been putting in work! I'm so thankful for the ease of the app and how you can put money into the envelopes for later. It's just amazing! Most importantly it keeps us from over drafting our account. I don't know what I would do without it! I'm using the "bill keeper" and "capital one wallet" as an added tool to keep up with my upcoming bills and current purchases for good budget entry. Very thankful! Thanks!.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Finally an app with the envelope systemLove this app, it's a bit tricky to get used too, but once it's all set up it's great. Wish there was an option to pay a 1 off for more features as I, like other reviewers am not willing to add another monthly expense to my budget, and do not feel that the product is really worth the ongoing subscription fee, but love the free app, and hopeful to see a one off option appear..Version: 2.1
✓ UnstableI don't know what's happening but the app seems to freeze more and more often. It's too bad because the concept is great..Version: 5.1
✓ The perfect budget appI’ve tried multiple budget apps for manually tracking weekly spending and savings budgets and this app is by far the best in every way (unless you want to link an account). The only problem I had was being unable to create custom categories, but you actually can. When you search for a category and it’s not there, there is an add button you can click in the top right :).Version: 4.3
✓ Just want I needed!Great way to track purchases and stay within my budget.Version: 2.4
✓ Great way to keep family budget!My husband and I have been using this app for a year and we love it! We use multiple credit cards for the rewards so in the past it has been almost impossible to track how much we have left to spend in our budget. This allows us to set a spending budget for the categories that we want and know in real time who is spending what in each category and how much we have left! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the app makes you carry forward any negative balance or positive balance to the next month. And it’s a little complicated the clear it. I wish there was an option to not carry forward that balance..Version: 2.3
✓ Missing accountI loved this app but unfortunately I just went to check something in my budget today and for some reason I get a message that there is no account for this login on both my email addresses. I had the app logged in on my phone and now my account is gone along with my budget 🤷🏽♂️😩 If you can fix and retrieve my budget would be great, I don’t have the time it takes to set it up again for a meeting I needed it for today, very disappointed..Version: 2.6
✓ Great app, keeps us on trackLove that more than one person can add to it, very user friendly.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Great appV pleased with this. Syncs very nicely over the web so my wife and I can see in real-time our household spend vs budget. Also nicely graphics to show me at the end of the month where most of our spending is going, and how we can save more. Great job team Goodbudget!.Version: 1.6.1
✓ HandyFinding it useful.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Finally have control over my finances!!As I head in to my 40s and reflect on where all my money is going, I came to the conclusion that I genuinely had no idea. In all honesty I just somehow always had enough to last me the month and to do fun things with the family. I decided at the start of 2019 that I would get serious about managing my money and made the commitment to look for a budgeting app that would meet my needs. Having never used an app or created a budget before I found the whole process overwhelming as I was never taught how to “manage money” and there are soo many apps that approach budgeting differently. What I like about GoodBudget is that it doesn’t link to my bank account, there is no easy button and it doesn’t try to do the hard work of budgeting for you. Other products linked to my bank account (doesn’t feel safe), try to categorise your transactions, give you easy buttons that allow you to allocate spend against savings goals, but these products never made me feel connected with my money. Instead i found that for budgeting to work, you need to make the decision to commit, be invested and capture everything you do manually which forces you to be involved in your money which in turn forced me to be more responsible and accountable for every dollar I was spending. - if you are serious about budgeting, you have to stop looking for the “easy button”. By forcing myself to get involved and to monitor each transaction while adding them in to GoodBudget against the envelope system I have been able to save 19K over 11 months that historically would not have been possible. GoodBudget has helped me curb the family spending, have greater transparency with my wife on where our money is going and now with the money saved I can finally take my kids on an overseas holiday. Last words of wisdom... make sure you capture everything daily, reconcile everything, make sure you stick to your envelopes and in time what started off as a boring and tedious task will become the norm and you will find your self in a better financial position. If your still overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, there are loads of tutorials, FAQs and forums that GoodBudget provides on their website to help get you started. Thankyou GoodBudget!!!! Wish I had done this 20+ years ago..Version: 2.4
✓ We have our finances under control nowIf you and your partner need to save or just can't see where your money is going, this app will solve it. It can take a bit of discipline and reading to get to understand the envelope system but it does work. The ability to sync you and your partners devices makes this perfect. You will see straight away where you are doubling up expenses. Try and put the effort in, it will yield results..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Good but missing somethingSo far I really like this app. I have the free version so there’s 10 monthly envelopes and 10 annual envelopes. I need more so I may subscribe if I continue to use it for a few months. Instead I took all my fun envelopes and combined them. Also, I’m not tracking my 2 debts (cc and student loans) since my cc will be paid soon and I don’t really care about tracking my loan. (I have a second income that I don’t track and just continuously store in a hys account.) It was confusing to start but then I understood how to use it. I love that you can record back in time! The thing id like is if your envelope bar turned red or yellow once you start using the money in it. Otherwise it just looks like you never filled it unless you look at the $ amount which aren’t in different colors text either..Version: 4.0.13
✓ It’s my daily appI love this app! I have kept my budget for 2 years. I particularly like the monthly pie charts and totals. Great to see where you money is going. It becomes a habit. I spend, I tap into my app..Version: 2.1
✓ Only one feature missingI love the app and I love the website. It really changed my, and my family’s, life for the good. It doesn’t make the sacrifices it takes for one to correct his financial situation, but it does give you the tools. I know similar apps does it, so I would greatly like to have one more feature: the option to sync directly with our bank accounts. We can import transactions, but it’s still time consuming and we have to be very thorough if we want to be successful using the app/software. I would gladly pay even more to have this. Something like a free plan, a plus plan (w/ unlimited enveloppes, accounts) and a premium plan (w/ account syncing and maybe getting our credit score delivered once in a while?). Some people don’t want to give too much informations, so a « plus » plan would be great for them. But others, like me and most probably a lot more, would like it to be the less time consuming possible. Some apps give free credit score so it’s not needed, but it still would be great to have everything at the same place with a premium plan. Plus plan is around 50$ US if I remember well, I would easily pay 80 US for a premium. Thank you for your work !! 4.75/5.Version: 2.8
✓ The best.Never used a budget app for this long. Absolutely LOVE IT. My hubby uses it too and it’s been amazing. Would highly recommend it if you want to stay on track financially and remain accountable for where your money’s going..Version: 2.2
✓ Great appReally good budgeting app. We were using money journal but it wasn't being updated and kept crashing. This app was a fantastic find as a replacement. It's simple to use and we like that it lets you create your own categories which other apps don't allow. The best feature for us is that you can share between devices which makes it a great household budgeting app rather than most of the others that are aimed at individuals. You can also export the data which is very useful too..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Budget bunnyI did a lot of research with budget apps and tried a few and this is definitely the best one for my needs. It is very similar to Money Bags which is a form of envelope budgeting. Very easy to use and after using it for a few years, I'd be lost with it. Amazing for a free app..Version: 1.7.3.1
✓ From paper to mobileOutside of freezing every now and again, and not syncing until you open the app, this is a marvelous tool. Not only are you able to set your budget but you can watch the visuals to see how you are doing. In addition, it performs as a register for any and all accounts you may have. It also shows the exact totals left in each "envelope" as you work for your individual or family finances. I have also been extremely pleased with the support I have received using the paid version. Some may think it is not worth paying an annual subscription. As a former user of Quicken software, I feel this is a much more practical and user-friendly software. Any problems I have had, they have been very quick to respond, usually within 24 hours and solve any issues..Version: 1.6.1
✓ My whole life in one appI have always budgeted, this app has made life so much easier. The most convenient way to plan ahead and keep spending in check!.Version: 2.0
✓ Exactly what I needed!!This app is exactly what I was looking for in a budgeting app! It allows my to see how much money I have to spend on certain things (food, petrol, fun stuff) and how much I have put away for others (car rego and insurance, uni textbooks for next year, home deposit savings) and you can really tailor it to how you want to use it! It’s a little confusing at first but there are videos linked in the app to help you out. Couldn’t recommend this app more!.Version: 2.2
✓ Just what I was looking forLove this app. Use it every day. Finally a budget app that works the way it should. Great work!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Good...but could be betterThis is a great program for a virtual envelope budgeting system. Nothing else out there really compares to this format, and I’ve looked. However, I keep looking for one specific reason. There’s no option to automatically download financial transactions. They will tell you it’s so you pay attention to your finances more by having to manually enter, but in my experience the time it takes to manually input means I often get behind, then my envelopes aren’t balanced and I still don’t know how much I have to spend. Honestly, it just seems like laziness at this point on behalf of the developers. Would be nice to just open the app and quickly categorize my transactions that are already downloaded and waiting for me. All in all though, this is still the best setup for budgeting..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Best AppI did all my budgeting using envelopes, so this app is very useful for me and my partner. Love that it syncs both our phones. Most useful app that i have on my phone..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Perfect for Budgeting BeginnersUser-friendly app that made budgeting seem a lot less daunting to me!.Version: 4.0.13
✓ Very good!Very good software. Only thing I would like to be more flexible is adding money to the envelopes freely. I understand the accounting premise of always moving money from one account to the other. But sometimes we just want the "virtual envelope" part of the features..Version: 1.6.1
✓ The one app to end all apps👌Everything you need in one simple package (even the free version is fantastic). Intuitive and simple to use - allows you to pre-plan and budget with envelopes and recurring payments. Budget overview for the month, year etc is also very helpful..Version: 2.1.6
✓ One flawMy only complaint is that I can’t reorganize my groceries by category. For instance all the fruit and veg. Together..Version: 2.2
✓ Best Budget App I've ever usedGranted, I'm still getting the hang of getting my paycheck to automatically fill envelopes the way I want it to, but the envelope system in this app is awesome. My husband and I share an account so we can both add transactions and they show up in the other person's phone. The envelopes are "smart," too - if you are over budget in one area it will tell you how many days you'd need to stop spending to catch up. The opposite is true for if you're under budget - which helps you know how far ahead you actually are. And, you can transfer money between envelopes...if for instance your "shopping" envelope is under budget but your "restaurants" are over, or whatever. Highly recommend, especially for couples or those on a joint-budget..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Worth itGreat app - but highly recommend watching the getting started videos online!! Makes great sense after those, and once set up is an excellent tool which gives a lot of control to use it how ever you want to use it. App could be a little simpler looking, more colourful and user friendly. But still easy to use once you know what's going on..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Mostly great, room for improvement!I love this app, and I totally rely on it to keep myself on track. I really wish there was an option to pay a one off fee to be allowed multiple accounts and more envelopes. I'm not happy to pay a monthly fee when I don't need the cloud services, but I would happily pay once for a few extra features! The app could also be a bit prettier, but that's not that important..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Best app to track spendingI love this app, I tell all my friends and family about this. I love how simple it is and easy to use..Version: 2.2
✓ Excellent for getting control of your spending!Support is also great.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Best Budget AppI love this Budget App! It makes it really easy to stick to a money plan (budget) and stay on track. If you start to go over budget, it just advises you to stop spending for a day or so, which is really easy to do. I recommend this app for everyone. Catherine.Version: 1.6.1
✓ Eeba is fantasticI just bought my own home and money is tight. With eeba I can customize my budget and constantly track how much I have left to spend on a certain category e.g food. All my money is allocated to an envelope and this way I have managed to put aside money for little things like insurance, mortgage repayments, phone credit, bills etc. Bills aren't a problem because the money has already been set aside for it. I use eeba every day and it has made managing my money so much easier..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great App - add feature pleaseFor someone who isn’t a fan of budgeting, this app is great for keeping track of spending. I’m mindful of what I spend money on. Thus saving money here and there. I would love to see a feature where one can take a photo of a receipt when adding an envelope. That way if the receipt goes missing it is tied to that purchase/envelope..Version: 2.4
✓ See where your money goesMy wife and I love this app. We do a yearly subscription (and it has its own envelope) and it is well worth it. We each have an allowance so big goofy purchases don’t need to be explained. I just safe up my allowance. When bills are due the money is there and our savings is building faster than ever. We both have the app on our phones so both can see where our money is any time. We never argue over finances and that is huge. And I have it set when we get paid to automatically distribute to each envelope. And bills that are automatically paid through bank bill pay are automatically removed from the envelope. Balancing takes about 15 min. Why would you not do your budget like this? I swear buy it. After all the bills got set up in envelopes we started adding envelopes. Christmas, home decor, medical, property taxes, eating out, we’ve even paid off three credit cards..Version: 2.1.5
✓ Finally an app that works for how I want to budgetI’ve been a Mint user for the better part of the past decade, and finally got fed up with its increasingly terrible automatic transaction sorting so I decided to find something that relied on manual entry. Goodbudget is the perfect fit for how I want to keep track of my money! I can easily schedule my monthly recurring paycheque and expenses, and know exactly how much extra cash I have on hand by looking at the unallocated category. I’ve disabled the accounts feature in favour of just simply tracking monthly spending so can’t comment on that. Long story short, if you’re okay with manually entering all your transactions throughout the month and need something simple to track your monthly budget this is a great app!.Version: 3.2
✓ All goodIf you're patient and get to know the flow this is a handy wee app. Well done team!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Powerful Budgeting AppThis app was the only one I could find that did everything I needed. Was a bit tricky to figure some things out at first, but simple once I understood. Has rollover balances, selectable and recurring budget cycles, individual envelope targets/limits and a way to input your income each pay if you like or you can fill envelopes independently. You can also choose when top up amounts for each envelope will occur automatically, within a chosen cycle. I also love that my partner can log into the same account/budget I have, so we can jointly use the budget together..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Very HelpfulThis app is not complicated and does have a tremendous amount of features. One thing it does not have is an auto sync with you bank account. However, before thinking that this is a bad thing keep in mind that this forces you to keep using this (balancing your checkbook so to speak). Some of the benefits of this app are easy envelope transfers, split transactions, auto funding, and atypical budgeting. Atypical budgeting? So many other tools out there are based on monthly cycles. Sure, this works for you water bill, mortgage/rent, and cell phone, but, who is paid monthly? We use this to auto-fill all of our envelopes every two weeks when we are paid. This will really force you to only spend what you have. The only issue that I have found is it occasionally will not sync (minus 1 star), but within 30 minutes or so we are back in business..Version: 1.6.1
✓ I’ve tried everything! Finally!Finally i found an app with a budget that can be adjusted the way I need it! I’ve searched high and low for a budget that can be set to start on a certain day of the month, because our income is not on the first, and this app has that feature!! Also love the envelope system...we tried going all cash so we could budget with envelopes and it just doesn’t work for our lifestyle, but this app lets you budget with envelopes electronically which is awesome! Very helpful tutorial videos help you get everything set up, and very pleased that the free version is everything I need! Only suggestion or complaint (which is really lame...but hear me out) is the little smiling/frowning envelope faces on my budgets....sometimes I can’t help that my envelope has run out, and those little faces seem to be reprimanding me for no good reason. Wish I could edit them a little per envelope to be more neutral when I need them to be. Otherwise, love that they’re telling me when I’m “on track” or to “stop spending for a few days” Overall, I definitely suggest trying this app..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Simple and easy to useI have been using this app for the past two years, and it has been really useful and easy to use..Version: 5.1.2
✓ Almost perfectGoodbudget is excellent. The only thing to make it perfect would be more detailed reports. For example, a report to show details about a budget envelope spendings..Version: 2.1.6
