Could not figure out how to use my 10 envelopes.
by Cynamon Eshleman, 2017-03-21

not useful unless you subscribe. number of envelopes very limited making it redundant to even create a budget with the free version
by John Militar, 2017-03-12

Amazingly simple however super effective design. Full version would be amazing just wish it was free with ads or a one time purchase price. But the the app itself is great but for someone in my financial position paying a subscription fee vs just doing it all on paper I have to use paper. But thanks for the free version I hope you guys make money off of the free version because you can tell a lot of hard work has been put into Goodbudget.com
