"Love the simplicity
of this app. We don’t want to carry cash around but wanted to still utilize
the envelope system.

I like the simplicity of this app but am no longer wanting to use it because of these issues: there is no way to delete envelopes individually. When you go to “help” it brings up a menu but when you click on a help subject nothing happens and it doesn’t expand for further explanation. When doing a deposit you can’t input cent amounts. You can’t edit a deposit amount if you put the wrong amount in, you have to start over with a new envelope and can’t delete the one you messed up on. Like I said I love the simplicity but the issues have made me incredibly frustrated.

Hello! Just writing to say I love a lot about the app, such as the ability to add memos to the deductions and the dollar amount at the top. However, I have been noticing some things that I really wish were different. One is that there is nowhere to see what your original total was. I think it would be really helpful to see how much I would be spending per month if I spent everything in each envelope. Perhaps at the top if it was not just the amount left, but something like original amount/amount left, that would help with budgeting a lot. I was able to see the original amount before the month started, but then I realized I needed to add more envelopes, and couldn’t remember how much the total would be.
Also, I wish there was a way to save each month rather than just deleting or resetting. That would help with tracking trends as well.
What also has been bugging me a lot is that editing in this app is really hard. I have a really hard time with changing the amount in the envelope after I have created the envelope. Sometimes I realize I should have accounted for something else or want to divide one envelope into two, and most of the time I just end up starting over. I feel this could be made much easier.

I am looking for a budget app and came across Envy.
It didn’t have a lot of reviews, but I decided to try it anyway.
I was pleasantly surprised.
What I really liked:
- privacy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (no information collected!!)
- price ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (only 1 low one-time payment!!!)
- Interface: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(really clean and easy to use. Especially like the add transaction screen’s simplicity!)
- frequent updates, even for a 4-year old app!
(That says the developer cares about this and is committed to it.)
Opportunities for growth (What would make me switch to use this app):
Accounts section for bank accounts or credit accounts
Transaction quick entry from home page just like quick deposit (maybe use same page for both positive (deposit) and negative (spending) transactions)
Jump to transaction by tapping entry in recent transactions
Charts! See how money was spent by category and date range, see spending vs. earning by date range, bonus: click on category in chart to jump to list of transactions filtered by chart date range
Optional: choose from different logos to personalize (this is obviously not a need, just a bonus)
Overall, while some functionality I use is not yet present, I am very impressed by what I’ve seen. I plan to follow this app for updates and strongly consider switching in the future! (Btw, to the developer: I would be willing to pay more than $5 for these features.)
