User Reviews

Users praise the envelope budgeting approach and cross-device use with the desktop app, plus solid support. However, reliability is a major issue: iOS crashes during use, inconsistent syncing that often requires the desktop app to stay open, and a paywall of add-ons for essential features. Usability glitches and update-driven regressions add to frustration. The app remains valuable as a budgeting companion when it works, but reliability and pricing friction are the top blockers.
Pros
  • Envelope budgeting method is highly valued and central to budgeting with Budget Touch.
  • Cross-device syncing between Mac desktop and iOS devices is frequently praised when it works.
  • App serves well as a companion to the desktop version with a clean envelope-based layout.
  • Responsive and helpful developer support is noted by users.
  • When functioning, the app provides effective budgeting and real-time insight across devices.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes on iOS when logging expenditures.
  • Unreliable syncing across devices, often requiring the desktop app to be open and connected to Wi‑Fi; not real-time.
  • Paid add-ons for core features are seen as a paywall and may feel like a scam to some users.
  • Usability and UI issues introduced by updates (difficulty deleting envelopes/accounts; layout glitches).
  • Some essential features are missing on mobile (e.g., transfers between accounts; bank register) or require add-ons.

I have had the desktop app for close to 12 years and I love it… that said the iOS app has its problems… 1. Currently it crashes multiple times (read a dozen at least) every time I try to log an expenditure… I messaged support and have received no response. It happens to both my phone and my wife’s phone, I had an iPhone 6s and upgraded to 12 mini and it crashes all the same. 2. The wifi sync works fine it just would be nice if there were a server/iCloud type option.

Given that this is a paid app, and given that I paid for it in order to keep track of my budget when I’m away from my computer, I shouldn’t have to be constantly fighting to get it to sync. It crashes way too often, and requests for help from Snowmint are completely ignored.
