Great app

This is exactly what I was looking for! My wife and I can both enter expenses from our phones so no more worrying about losing receipts. We are now on the same page budget wise. We can easily track what money is available for certain items. The envelope system but without having to do everything in cash. Good budgeting software without having to fire up the computer and enter receipts at the end of a long day. For the first time ever I am consistently reconciling to my checking account with ease!

One minor problem to mention: be sure not to unintentionally schedule recurring transactions for a date in the past. I tried to input a pending transaction to post in January and then on the same day of the month every month after. Its currently December and when I changed the date to January I forgot to move the year forward to next year. So it posted for January if this year and began to (slowly) post again for each month between then and now. I couldnt delete the initial transaction and cut off the monthly repeats. It took several hours for it to post the repeated transaction for every month from January through November of this year. But once it was finally done I was able to delete them one at a time. Took me a minute to figure out why my balance was off for that envelope but then I saw all the repeat transactions for the past year. Just a small issue to be aware of. If there was a warning saying "are you sure you want to post a recurring transaction in the past?" That would be cool.

That small issue was mostly my own fault and was able to be fixed so I enthusiastically give it five stars! This app has given me great control of my budget and is helping our family be good stewards, live within our means, know where our money is going, and start to save for the future.
