Tilt helps users get quick cash advances, often praised for its speed and convenience when needed most R1R4R19. However, many users report issues with unexpected subscription charges, poor customer service, and problems with repayment processing that can lead to overdrafts R54R61R90R137. The app's value is high for those who successfully use its core cash advance feature without encountering these problems.

Free vs paid

The app is listed as 'Free' with in-app purchases, but reviews indicate that accessing cash advances often requires a subscription, with some users reporting charges of $8 per month R61R114R137. Some users were charged without their knowledge or permission for this subscription R137R170. The free tier likely allows account connection and possibly some financial tracking features, but the primary benefit of cash advances seems to be paywalled R114.

  1. [R61] 1/5 · US (: 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?
  2. [R137] 1/5 · US Charged Without My Knowledge: I wasn’t even aware that I was subscribed and being charged $8 per month until I noticed a negative balance in my bank account. The way the subscription is set up made it very easy to enroll without clearly realizing it, which I found deceptive and misleading.
  3. [R170] 1/5 · US Not happy: Tilt has been charging me without my knowledge or permission, never did i subscribe to anything with them! Be extremely careful with using them!
  4. [R114] 1/5 · US Shady: I think that it’s pretty messed up that you download this app, fill out all of your information. It tells you that you’re approved for a cash advance but you have to subscribe to have that service, and then help you after you pay the subscription. Does the cash advance isn’t available in your area. Sorry, but if you’re trying to get a cash advance, you’re going through a pretty hard time,
  5. [R193] 1/5 · US App sucks: App sucks. Got charged 35 for a late fee when I paid a day early and they said their not gonna reimburse me cause I still had no funds in my account the next day which still don’t make sense
  6. [R90] 1/5 · US 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
  7. [R54] 1/5 · US 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
  8. [R57] 1/5 · US 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
  9. [R123] 1/5 · US Dumb app: App is literally stupid customer service is worthless
