Reviews for Goodbudget: Budget & Finance

Excellent app. Set up envelope, fill it with funds, spend your funds. When envelope runs out, stop spending. Super easy to understand. You get 10 free envelopes for free on monthly and another 10 for annual cycles. It even has hashtags to monitor expenses across envelopes. It also has reports so you’ll see charts and […]

It’s seems like a decent app that will help me budget. Many positives, but one major problem… When I try to schedule the filling of the envelopes in advance, it shows the envelope fill and deposit right away. For example, I put in 8/6 as the date for the paycheck and envelope fill, but it […]

Been a subscriber for 3 yrs and LOVE it!!! Much better than my custom excel worksheet I was using, absolutely worth the fee for the plus version!! I like that it doesn’t auto sync to bank accts. I wanted total control and manually entering everything makes me more aware/accountable of our spending. Easy to update […]

Really outdated UI (entering numbers, for example, still uses an on screen calculator view instead of your keyboard). UI isn’t necessarily intuitive, there set up steps aren’t fully explained so I have no idea if it’s doing what I think it’s doing. Also, no way to see a month to month view. This is more […]

This app is so extremely helpful! I love the unlimited envelopes in the plus version but you can get 10 envelopes in the free version which is great if you want to keep it simple. An update I would love to see would be the option to scan your receipt when adding a transaction so […]

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 […]

Before Goodbudget I used a spreadsheet to do the virtual envelope system. Not smartphone friendly. Now with Goodbudget it is easy to coordinate the budget within my family so we can stay on track. The only major negative is the absence of an automatic bank transaction sync feature to ensure that no transaction is missed, […]

I love budgeting apps and have tried several. I found Goodbudget after I left a pro version of another budgeting app. I really like the ease of uploading transactions, find the esthetics of the app to be simple, and think it’s a great modern way to do the good ol’ envelope system. I recommend everyone […]

Best budgeting app I’ve used by far. Very quick to load data. Doesn’t ask for all of my personal information. Doesn’t allow all transaction types from the app (income, debt payments, envelope filling) which is a bummer, but I use them infrequently enough that I can use the desktop version. Much better experience than Mint […]

Would be nice if you could add emoji symbols like: 💵 💡 🚗 🏡 which I add after the payee name to make it easy to spot on the account list…. ✌️ Another thing, having the app remember the list position when in the account so it goes back once you save a new entry. […]

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 […]

Great app that uses the envelope budgeting method. So much for rent or mortgage so much for groceries so much for utilities and etc… Helped me buy a house and a car. Very useful. Plus if you want to know if you paid a bill just look at what you put on your transactions history […]

I have installed and uninstalled this app a dozen + times in the last couple of years. This is hands-down, my favorite envelope budgeting app. However, I really need it to sync with my banks accounts. Other apps are clunky and give me more info than I need. I always come back because it’s simple […]

I’ve been using Goodbudget for several years now, and it’s been so helpful for keeping track of my money. I’ve been able to notice trends in unnecessary spending to cut back and save for things like vacation and fun, and to give toward causes I support. I love how goal envelopes help me save for […]

We’ve used it now for a few years and are miles ahead in our finances. I would say the only real downfall is that if you’re going through Goodbudget and rectifying it against your back statement, if you make a change to an amount, or add a forgotten one, it’ll scroll all of the way […]

Absolutely love it!! Much better than MINT. Simple but powerful app to track finances. You have to enter transactions manually, but setting up the budget is easy and I love the “envelope transfer” feature. Just because “going out” budget is empty doesn’t mean you can’t go, the money just has to come from another category. […]

I’ve been using the paid version for a short while now. I am transitioning from Quicken 2017. Quicken has been bloated and buggy for some time now. I finally couldn’t take it when the Quicken sync began only working in one direction causing me to constantly track down register errors. Goodbudget seems to work great […]

Love the app lots and lots. I use the free version because $45 a year is a bit more than I am willing to pay for an app designed to help you be good with money. I wish it had an “auto deduct” feature. I have several bills that are automatically pulled from my banking […]

I’ve been trying to live off my unsupported YNAB app for years. Finally it died and I did research on what switch to. Good Budget has surpassed YNAB in almost every aspect. It’s cheaper and more efficient. I’m really happy I went with it. Developers: please please change the transaction entries to include decimal points […]

This is the perfect budgeting app for me. I didn’t need an app that I had to put in every penny I made and every penny I gave out. I just needed one to show the money that I would normally be pulling out of my account to stick into envelopes such as food, gas […]
