SimpleBudget (Envelope Budget) for Android
on my Acer Iconia 7 B1-770. Easy to learn. I like being able to see my envelopes all on one screen. Could you add split transactions for deposits and withdrawls (at least deposits)? Much appreciated app. Buying the ad free to say thanks.
Great app. I personally wish it were even simpler. Like literally just a virtual envelope that you title and assign an amount to. No connection to months or dates. But that's unrealistic because it wouldn't be befitting most people. Great app though. I've tried at least a dozen other envelope style budget apps and for years now I keep returning to this one.
Needs some more bugs fixed and a few changes. Balance doesn't carry forward, can't enter negative amount, and some envelopes only have the option to change the name not actually enter a transaction in the envelope
1. When I indicate in the App, a deposit say $Y, which is not spend, why does the next month show the earlier $X in place of $X+Y. 2. Is it possible to distribute a fixed lump sum to say 17 envelopes each month?. 3. If I enable carry forward and then create a new envelope, it's not getting copied over to future months. 4. I able to make additional deposits only to one envelope.
Hi. I backed up my data in dropbox. But when i tried to restore the data, its empty. I suggest to have a local back up (like in SD Card) or email (where you can just click the link to restore the file)
I really want to like this app. It has lots going for it, but I'm not able to open all my envelopes to enter transactions. My budget has 15 envelopes, but I can only open 5 of them to enter transactions. I can edit all the envelopes just fine though.
Not bad overall. But why am I having to add my envelopes every month? It should auto populate my envelopes from one month to the next without the need for me to continuously add them manually.
I am sad I had to delete this app
Takes a little time to figure it out but I like that it is SIMPLE, once you have done so. No bugs so far; good job, especially for extremely low permissions!
I love this app so much, it would be perfect but it frequently crashes on me. Additionally if I change the amounts in the envelopes for one month there is no option to carry it forward to future months. With those two changes it would be perfect.
I have wanted an easy envelope budget app forever. I like that it works offline so it's always available, but there should be an option to create an account sleep multiple phones go to the same budget. Plus they should be able to choose a time to go online and sync the account budget between all logged in devices so every family member can reflect and review their spending from the family budget. Do that, and then this is a five star app!
This app is so close to being perfect. I just need to be able to split transactions among budget categories. If that happens then this will be 5 stars! It is easy to use and simple. No unnecessary fluff to sort thru.
The developer is really on to something here. I just need a way for my wife and I to add funds to virtual envelopes each month, then deduct as we spend from them. This app is perfect in that regard. The one feature that I'd love to see is auto-load from dropbox on open, and auto-save to dropbox on close. (Most of the functionality is already in place!)
I like the simplicity of the app. It works for me. I would like to see a couple of additional features, though -- 1 - Be able to print out a month's transactions 2 - If you change or add a transaction from a previous month, the rollover amount should automatically reflect the change. As it is, you have to go in and change the rollover manually or your totals will be off.
After searching for a financial app for a long time. This one has just what I wanted. No unnecessary features. Could you make it possible to see how much I can spend per day? By dividing the remaining amount in the envelope by the days remaining in the month.
But it won't let me edit anything. The amounts they auto populate don't work for me.
you don't need a users manuel to know how to set up! it's perfect, although I would like to have a savings account in case I have extra at end of month, just a thought.I had problem with app stopping, but my fault- wifi was turned off so couldn't go to last month, i fixed it and love this app.
Amanda beal if u press down on envolope it will come up edit or delete press edit and alter the budget amount that way .. it works for me ..there maybe a quicker way i dont know but thats how i do it..
The prefect no nonsense budgeting app that gets the job done in the most straightforward manner without being bloated with useless features. Highly recommended!
Like the simplicity of the app but can't get it to work. Paid for no ads. Disappointed paid money and it doesn't let me open envelope to add transactions.
I was happy with this for the first month but then into a new month all my envelopes reset to 0. It didn't rollover any of my previous balances.
Only issue I have is that I can't add more than 5 enveloppes. I thought it was an issue with the colours, so I made sure to pick the 6 or 7th colour but I couldn't.
Can we also get day wise spending graph for individual envelope and for all together
Fantastic app! Very simple yet effective! I love how it's easy on the eyes as well. Would appreciate a way to visually summarize with graphs or pie charts my spending in various categories. Update: I'm now able to back the data up online, perfect!
I love its simplicity. But add like a PIGGYBANK ENVELOPE wear we can easily put it so that we know how much savings we have for added inspiration to save. Thankyou :*
I love this app and it's made budgeting my expenses so much easier. However, it would love it more if I could have the option to set the envelopes to refresh bi weekly with my pay rotation rather than strictly a monthly refresh.
This is the perfect budget app for me. I really wanted to like Mint, but it was just way too complicated for what I needed. This is the only app I am installing on my new phone. I'd love an iPad version, but I'm happy to have it regardless. A note to the person wondering how to set the overall budget amount - the app automatically sets the amount after adding up the totals in all your categories. So to increase or decrease the total, add or subtract money from the categories. Wonderful app, highly recommend
Finally a simple budget tracking tool! Was using the good budget envelope app and it just was a headache at the end of the month trying to get started on a new month. So far, this is so much simpler and cleaner. I do wish I could rearrange the category tiles once they've been created though. Otherwise everything is great so far!
I overlap my months.. and I noticed you can't go to the previous month to edit the overall amount in an envelope which has made it so difficult to continue budgeting. Please make previous months editable! Please please please
Than you to the dev, it's good to see an app that 1: needs no pervasive permissions 2: does not require an online account. The app is simple, not as simple as the app I was using but this one doesn't freeze up or crash. I'll have more input once I've used it a few months.
It has me starting off with a $1600 budget and won't let me Change it :-(
I love the envelope system that helps me keep track of my cash. It keeps me on my toes and I find I overspend much less. Is there a way I can change my budget dates to fall in line with my salary date?
Love the envelopes, and that you can add so many. My problem is that on some of the envelopes, it's not allowing me to add a transaction. Nothing happens when I tap the envelope....while some others will???
I really like this app.. the only problem is I cant export the data to excel... Team simple budget - add more options to your app so many will download it and use it... need more options to your settings..
I previously disliked this app due to a major bug. But it seems to have been fixed and now I use it all the time to keep track of my finances. Love this app thank you!
Simple and effective. Not overly restrictive on how I want to set things up, or overbearing on keeping track of my entire life. Add some padding to the window elements, clean up some bugs, and offer an ad-free version for a one-time fee, and then this app is perfect.
Easy setup. Short learning curve. Simple entry. Spend a little time with it and I think you'll agree. It has every feature needed for an on the go, on the fly, pocket budgeting system, including backup via Dropbox.
I really like this app. Simple, easy to use. However, it needs and option to organise the envelopes.
Would love to manage multiple budgets.

Only reason you dont get a 5...Many of us have asked for bi monthly option as most people get paid weekly or biweekly. Its a huge plus if they can add this feature and you would get a 5. I also agree this is so simple compared to Mint. Cant wait for update!!!
