I have tried to be open-minded with the new layout, but I REALLY miss seeing all of my envelopes in one screen. I hate having to scroll to see envelopes. I'm a visual person, and not having them all laid out in front of me is making it really hard for me to have a clear understanding of where I've been spending. I very seriously may need to find a different budgeting program because of this.

Oh my gosh I hate pretty much every view on this new version. Mv4 was so much better!

I completely agree!!! Mvelopes 5 removed/changed things that were working well instead of improving broken/problematic things and/or adding more helpful tools. Now our normal processes for managing finances are disrupted. This is not the goal of good programming. Like the author of this post, I have tried hard to adjust and keep an open mind, but M4 was so much better. I felt like I could see everything. Now I struggle to know what I'm doing and feel nervous about my finances. Very frustrated.

Agreed! I can only see about 5 envelopes at a time!?! -- And Only if I open up each group individually. In mV4 I got a quick snapshot of many envlopes as well as the balances of my spending accounts. Now, everything is hidden and not helpful. Last week I overspent in my entertainment envelope and did not even know it until I went to fund my paycheck on Friday?! That has never happened in 15 years of using this program.
