- [R1] Tilt Customer service: The customer service is horrible it is not immediate. They charge you a fee if you don’t pay on time which I understand but it isn’t even my actual payday like sometimes I get paid a day before and it goes off that but this time I got paid on my normal actual payday and they gave me a fee while still tryna charge the full repayment back. Try to contact customer service remove it
- [R3] Tilt Horrible Excuse: App shows my bank account is connected, but it will not allow me to accept the cash advances. It just s swirls around and tells me that there’s a problem with my connected account. I have three accounts connected so that I could delete my billing account and re-add it to see if that fixes the problem. It didn’t. And customer service is no help at All of the steps I tried all of th
- [R5] Tilt (: I tried tilt and did a 14 day trial but I couldn’t get a cash advance, so I canceled literally 10 minutes later. Then 2 days later I got charged the $8 for the subscription, I talked to support and just got an email saying “your subscription has been cancelled thank you”, ok? Where’s my $8?
- [R14] Tilt Really convenient app: Only issue I have is sometimes due to a holiday I get paid on Wednesdays and it changes my repayment date for the following week and it comes out before my payday, causing my account to overdraft because it comes out before my payday
- [R9] Tilt No cash advance: Tilt stopped giving me cash advances even though I always paid them back
- [R7] Tilt Not a very good app.: When you go to pay back it takes days. They can give you the money instantly. And take up to three days for it to clear when you go to pay it back. Left my bank account in the negatives twice now. Not happy at all with this app
- [R52] Dave Love Dave!: Dave has helped me multiple times! Dave learned my payday patterns and makes my payday the due date. Just verify before you submit. Dave will accommodate if you need a minor extension as well. Super easy and will use in the future again if needed!
- [R55] Dave Dave: This app has been really helpful in hard times. Forever thankful for Dave’s services.
- [R57] Dave Great option: Great option when you’re in a very tight spot 75 off the rip and as long as you keep paying it back, it keeps increasing
- [R61] Dave Massive help: Clean UI, easy to use, and extremely helpful.
- [R66] Brigit Thank you: App is great easy to use and so far had no issues. Only thing I don’t like is that the day before I’m suppose to pay off my advance I’m not able to pay it off early. It says payment processing or something like that. Sometimes I like to pay my advance early just to get it out the way and know what I have left from my paycheck but whether payment goes through or not at least this app has
- [R69] Brigit good app: how long you pay on time we got it
- [R70] Brigit My issues: Disconnects from bank a lot and I use the same debit all the time yet most the time it never verifies it and I have to wait the two days. Even tho it’s been verified before. Also borrow limit is always the same. Has never increased
- [R73] Brigit Limited: I’ve been with Brigit for a few years now with no issues and they still haven’t increased my cash advance limit above $70
- [R80] EarnIn Es muy buena: Para cuando te quedas si dinero y ocupas dinero adelantado del cheque
- [R82] EarnIn Helpful in time of need: This is a great way to keep money in your pockets. You never have to ask for help when you can help yourself!
- [R84] EarnIn Easy: This is the easiest and most convenient solution to quick financial needs. They don’t make it hard for people to be rescued in difficult times.
- [R88] EarnIn Awesome app: Earnin has spotted me cash regularly when I was experiencing financial hardship. I really appreciate this app.
- [R94] Klover Lucky To Have You Klover: They helped me out when I was in a jam and needed cash for my daughter’s high school graduation. Klover came through in the clutch like Jalen Brunson. Thanks for the help.
- [R95] Klover App is actually firme: App lwk is a rare W , yea you might needa watch ads to rack up points , or play games for the points to cash out on but it’s definitely worth it no cap cuh
- [R97] Klover Great App: I have had better results with this app
- [R100] Klover Easy Peasy: Simple and quick to use.
- [R111] MoneyLion Best app: This app has genuinely helped me pay for expenses when I didn’t have my paycheck yet. I’ve paid back each cash advance I’ve borrowed from MoneyLion for about 6 months now, started from a $25 advance and I am now up to a $275 cash advance if I need it.
- [R114] MoneyLion Money Lion: Very good
- [R116] MoneyLion Opinión: Es un exelente servicio, ayuda bastante
- [R118] MoneyLion Excellent: This is the best app for cash. It’s a one stop shop. Can find apps or use the actual app when something unexpected comes up.
- [R51] Dave High fees: I’ve used Dave for years but they are using tricks to have you come out of pocket with unnecessary fees. There are a lot out there that have better terms.
- [R56] Dave Over charge: Dave is great for getting money on the fly, but there are tons of other apps that do it better. Dave may increase your borrow limit but charges 5 bucks for each a draw and Dave won’t let you draw all at once. Other apps do just that and charge way less.
- [R65] Brigit EXTREMELY PREDATORY: This app preys upon the unintelligent, the desperate, and I 100% fell for it after seeing an ad on Hulu. Find a better way to get money if you need it that badly. I’m not going to waste my time typing a review that’s going to be hidden by a bunch of fake positive reviews. To put it in a nutshell Brigit is trying to catch fish. Big fish, small fish it doesn’t care. Once the lur
- [R71] Brigit Stay away: This is called modern day slavery. This is just a debt trap. Stay away.
- [R74] Brigit Hidden charges: I thought this was a great app until I was randomly charged $39 for a Bright Membership. It doesn’t show any information on where the charge is from or what it’s for. They don’t have any real people to get in contact with immediately. Use at your own risk. I believe it’s false advertising and doesn’t fully support when you have an issue. I don’t like having money taken for no reaso
- [R81] EarnIn Scam: Scammers, will switch your direct deposit info to their account so your direct deposit is delivered to them
- [R83] EarnIn Do not download this app before reading this: I am trying to help the next person so I need to let you know that this is an Absolute failure of consumer protection. A critical defect in this app’s backend banking integration incorrectly routed hundreds of dollars of my earned wages into a completely wrong, restricted account. When I immediately provided documentation of the ongoing processing erro
- [R103] Klover USELESS!: I have joined several things on Klover and have yet to receive my points and in one instance I was supposed to get money from stake.com and Freecash! So I really feel like Clover is a scam and if I don’t get this resolved very quickly, I will report you to the BBB and FTC!
- [R105] Klover Have to get points to get a advance: You have to collect points to get a advance even tho you pay for a subscription fee definitely stay away
- [R107] MoneyLion NIGHTMARE!!: This app is a total nightmare!! First of all, they don’t tell you that the funds will be added to their card. Secondly, if you want to transfer the funds to your account, it will take 2-4 BUSINESS days. I did not read anything on there that says so. Called customer service and couldn’t understand the girls accent. Horrible experience!!! Just want to pay it off and close this account!!
