Droid Apps for Family Budgeting?

I have found a few apps for the Droid that I really like for personal budgeting. IOU is great for tracking debt, mooLa! is a fantastic check registry, Ultimate Budgets is nice for seeing where I'm spending money, etc. But what I'm really looking for is a FAMILY budgeting app.

There are "envelope" budgeting apps out there, but I haven't found one that allows more than one user to input information. If you have Grocery IQ you understand - that is the kind of functionality I'm looking for. I want to be able to take money out of a budgeted envelope and have that recorded for both of us to see on both of our phones. At the end of the month, I'd also like to be able to see exactly where all the money went, how close we were to our budgets, etc.

I've downloaded a few apps, but thus far haven't found one with the ability to share budgets/envelopes. Any ideas before I spend hours scanning the app store?

Try Easy Envelope Budget Aid, or EEBA for short.

EEBA has a website, a mobile website and an Android app that makes it super-easy to check your where you are in your budget (supports weekly, monthly, semi-monthly and bi-weekly budgeters) and record transactions at point of sale. It's built around envelope budgeting. EEBA basically allows you to carry your virtual "envelopes" with you--so you don't worry about carrying all that cash. It syncs everything automatically between multiple phones and the website and the app can be used with or without a cell signal.

I've been a subscriber of Mvelopes.com, the award-winning online envelope budgeting system, for the past five years, and find it to be the most comprehensive envelope budgeting tool out there. Mvelopes recently released its iPhone app, which offers real-time synchronization with the Mvelopes online system and allows for simultaneous access by multiple users (great money management feature for families). The Mvelopes app for Android smartphones will be released soon in the coming weeks, and in light of the Mvelopes app, they are offering a 10% discount off of subscriptions with promo code: value

Hope the Mvelopes app is exactly what you're looking for and that it saves you from spending hours trying to find a great envelope budgeting app for families!
