Really outdated UI (entering numbers, for example, still uses an on screen calculator view instead of your keyboard).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 of a snapshot of current month only. I think I'm better off in Excel.

Lost data, couldn't sync to server. This wants to be a great little app. However, it lost all transactions on my phone when i forced a sync. Clearly the phone transactions never made it to the server, and the server transactions take precedence. That seems like the wrong choice for a mobile app.

Love the browser version but this App is seriously lacking. Can't see envelope balances when filling, splitting charges is a nightmare. The list goes on. It's like no one who developed the app ever actually tried to use it. It would be 1 star if I didn't like the browser version so much but seriously considering switching due to the app.

Been using the application for a year, and will continue using it. Quite good tool for budgeting. It has one infuriating bug. It happens when filling any inputs in the application, and I switch from the application to another. For example when I want to check the exact sum of money spent from my banking application. Goodbudget empties/forgets EVERY single input I had already filled. It drives me mad every time. I would give four stars if this would be fixed.

Frustrating to work with
By The real SheRaAt first I really loved Goodbudget. I love the digital envelope system, how easy it is to input expenses, the recurring payments/income feature, etc. More recently I’ve found some of the processes more cumbersome than helpful. When I set a recurring income, including specifying which envelope the money goes into, it resets the envelope at the base amount set rather than adding to what’s already in there. It takes the excess and sweeps it into “Unallocated” rather than keeping it where I very deliberately put it. Then I have to go through the process of figuring out how much was in each envelope before my income hit, and transfer from unallocated into the various envelopes (each transfer happening separately). All in all, this program is pretty good, but only if you’re budgeting and living paycheck to paycheck, especially since it’s free. If you are saving up for something or want to have extra money in a few of your envelopes, this program becomes more of a headache than it’s worth.

I paid for this app but it is extremely glitchy. Numbers don't add up and a budget app that can't add is pretty useless. I also wanted to clear everything and start from scratch because I hadn't used it recently. And it was nearly impossible and even after clearing all I had to try and figure out how to manually delete stuff.

Grow Up, Goodbudget
By esacco1Everything about this app (from a functional standpoint) is 5-star. Easy to use, clear, no pesky bugs. It performs exactly as advertised. This 1-star review is only for the interactive element of Goodbudget, namely the anthropomorphic envelopes. What lunatic asylum design group thought it a good idea to create an emoting face that reacts to your spending? The feeling of being judged by this app is one hundred percent real for crossing the spending line established. When I went over budget on a particular line, I was honestly surprised to see the envelope figure not hanging from a noose. I use this app to track basic family spending items like groceries, restaurants, personal purchases, &c. I can’t imagine what it would feel like to use this app and go over budget on purchasing diapers or medical care for my child when every penny is already spent on other bills. Goodbudget - grow up, get rid of the emotive envelopes, and let people use your app judgement free like we all deserve in life.

No tech support
By vvghivghighvI have used Goodbudget for several years now and thought it was a great, simple, budgeting tool. I’ve recommended it to several family and friends. However, this past week as I was inserting info into my app the whole thing shut down and when I opened it back up all of my envelopes were screwed up. They wouldn’t show any deposits for the past 5 months. Needless to say I was pretty upset. It threw all of my envelopes off. I learned the hard way that the ONLY way to contact this company is through email. It’s been almost a week now and I still have not hear from anyone... so I switched to Dave Ramsey’s app - Every dollar. So far I like it a lot better. And they actually have a chat support. If I’m gng to pay for an app at least I have support. You failed Goodbudget. And I will tell all of my family and friends to switch too.

Difficult to understand & use
By bikinicarI want to like this app. Lots of people seem to love it and use it religiously. I’ve been trying to use it for a week now and I find it clunky, difficult to understand, oddly complicated and not intuitive. The guides are very basic and don't really explain things beyond what is supposed to be straightforward but in practice really isn’t at all. Nothing is easy to adjust or change and I found that I inadvertently messed up my numbers again and again trying to correct or change something. Then I had to revert to outdated or inaccurate numbers to make the budget “work” again. It takes way too much headspace to get a quick understanding of where I was at in terms of my envelopes and then even refilling envelopes mid-budget was so confusing I’ve given up.

Outrageous price for a limited time
By slmu27I was really excited about this app because it has all of the functionality I've been looking for. However as soon as I started to set it up, I found out that you only get ONE free "account" ...really? Not even two accounts for checking AND savings? And the upgrade is $15 for 3 months or $25 for 6. That is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS and not worth it, I honestly don't know where these developers get off asking that price. There isn't even an "unlimited" option so you're forced to keep paying those prices. I might pay $15 for an unlimited version (which I have NEVER paid for an app before), but come on. I'm a budget-conscious person, which is why I looked at this app to begin with. It's also why I won't be using it.

Not User Friendly
By TiannaL1I don’t think this app is what I was looking for or expected. I simply wanted an app to be able to have “money folders” rather than multiple savings accounts. I have big and small splurge items I like to save up for (vacations, shoes, tech, etc.) without have to set up multiple different savings accounts with my bank. I wanted multiple folders in ONE account, and I thought this app would give me this experience. It is not user friendly or self explanatory at ALL. I had no clue what I was doing and there is no “how to” or tutorial upon download. Very frustrating to use if you have no clue what you’re doing.
