Smart Idea with Simple Flaws
First, let me start by saying I believe that this app is a great idea. But I hope it will get to the point where it works flawlessly and allows me to budget the way I want it to, versus the way the app wants me to.
For those who are looking to try the app, it’s very simple. There is a page that holds your “envelopes” which are your bills/expenses. You simply connect an account, create an envelope, set the date and amount due, and it automatically deposits the money into the app and withdrawals for you. By allowing them to hold your money, they give you interest earned in return. So over time, you end up earning (a small amount of extra money depending on how much you save) just to budget.
However, it has very simple flaws that make the experience difficult to make this my exclusive budgeting solution. For example, you are unable to adjust the date of your envelopes. If my phone bill changes from being due on the 15th, to the 10th or 18th, I have to cancel my envelope (lose my earned interest), and recreate the envelope.
There is also the issue of short term savings. They ask that you budget to almost a year in advance for a saving envelope. For small time savings, such as saving up for the holidays or an anniversary, this app doesn’t help at all.
They are making updates every week and I hope that these issues are updated. I suggest checking in on this app in the next few months to see what all has improved.

Hello! Thanks for your time to write out such a detailed review, it's really helpful for app improvements. We've added short term savings goals and edit envelope features to our future releases. It should be wrapped up by this winter, feel free to check in anytime hello@amoochlife.com :)
Helpful but could improve!
This app is extremely helpful since you are incentivized to not take the money out early. A few things i would love to see that would improve the app in my opinion:
1. Allowing users to start an envelope with money. I have already saved some money towards certain goals of mine outside of the mooch app and would prefer to be able to transfer that into the mooch envelope to decrease my amount per paycheck and have a more accurate balance.
2. Changing envelope dates. Goals can shift over time and it’s sad to potentially lose all interest because you need the money a week early.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback! Making envelopes more flexible is a big thing we're pushing towards. We are working on 1. allowing you to manually deposit money into envelopes 2. change envelope dates and also manual withdrawals in situations where you might need it. These should be available via app update in the coming months, thank you for being patient :)
Helpful!
I love using the app as it takes money out the first day of getting paid. I am able to take my bills and set them aside so I don’t touch that money.
My money has always arrived in my account before I need to spend it.
Bonus money is a little delayed but ends up showing eventually. Small downsizes but nothing to much to stop using. I am able to put money away and plan far ahead starting now.

Thanks so much! Glad it's helping you with your budgeting so far, for bonus we are working on making the rewards experience better this year :)
