1. [R2] 5/5 · US Dave: Love using Dave whenever I’m tight on money and can always pay it back early
2. [R4] 5/5 · US Reliable: Very easy to use, very easy to pay back. Very reliable and trustworthy service. Always saving my behind when I need it. Thankful for their help.
3. [R6] 5/5 · US The best friend you need !: I love this app!! No bombarding me with notifications. Money is fast! Very cheap fees. Always dependable.
4. [R8] 5/5 · US Great App!: Needed a few bucks til next payday. Dave came through. Highly recommend!!!!
5. [R14] 2/5 · US Recommend, slightly: The app is easy to use, fast deposits, and has a cheap monthly fee. However, whats frustrating me at the moment is I can’t update my pay schedule because you all use software that “detect” pay cycles. I get my paycheck deposited at 9pm PST Thursdays so the app has my settlement date set to Thursday. This causes an issue because it will debit whatever money I have in my account
6. [R47] 5/5 · US Real Deal: This is the only money app that I truly trust and the only one that I will use. There’s a three dollar monthly charge, which is not a big deal at all especially for peace of mind that it is not a scam. And a small percentage fee that they call an overdraft fee, which is also no big deal because they have to make their money too. I have nothing but good things to say about this app and
7. [R58] 5/5 · US BEST APP EVER: The fact it lets you borrow money quick and easy with the smallest of fees is so helpful. Couldn’t recommend a better app!
8. [R81] 5/5 · US Great service: I would recommend this to anyone! Saving $35 overdraft fees is great when you live on a fixed income. If you haven’t looked at their services I think you should!
9. [R1] 1/5 · US Horrible app: You get approved for one amount and then by the next time your getting approved for a way lower amount even if you paid early. Have never experienced something like this. Horrible app. Because I didn’t work a week I got low balled. You are allowed to take vacations in life! Also the app doesn’t correctly get your information.
10. [R17] 2/5 · US Said I wasn’t eligible after I paid back when I needed it most: It wouldn’t let me borrow after I paid back again
11. [R21] 1/5 · US Low offers: I make over 200k a year and their algorithm will not put me at $500…dumb and insulting
12. [R46] 1/5 · US Less money: I pay you like clockwork every two weeks yet the amount I qualify for never goes up or is reduced. Stop this...
13. [R3] 1/5 · US Please use any other Cash Advance app: Who is being paid to rate this app over 1-2 stars? This has to be the worst cash advance app ever. You can’t change your repayment date. I get paid on Thursday afternoons, I didn’t want to app to recognize I got paid on Thursdays and try to take the repayment at 12:01AM. AI bot says “Dave automatically attempts to take a smaller partial amount if the full amo
14. [R24] 5/5 · US Gima: I love Dave. Always saves me. The only thing I don’t like is that settles in 7 days instead of your payday. So it can overdraw your account.
15. [R42] 3/5 · US It’s ok but..: Just beware whether you have money in your account or not they will not wait for your check at the bank. They usually take it out at 12:01 AM on the day your check is supposed to be in the bank, my account is now in the negative until my check goes in..
16. [R13] 1/5 · US terrible app: I tried contacting support but the process is taking forever and they keep asking for info they already have. However i unsubscribed from Dave and I’m still getting $3 charges and can’t get in contact to get into my account as I no longer have access to that email or number I used for the account. I’m tired of getting $3 taken from my bank account when I don’t even benefit from the a
17. [R71] 1/5 · US Trash: The only good thing is you have a chance to get a decent amount of money from this app. Everything else is trash, they’re inconsistent with settlement dates, how much they’ll let you borrow, and customer service is no help at all. Causes more problems than they claim to fix.
18. [R75] 5/5 · US Lost Password: Do not use this app their customer service is trash. They lock you out of your account and you can’t get help or get back in.
19. [R99] 1/5 · US Ridiculous: The app worked ok at first. Then my bank was disconnected by them and I was told to reconnect it, no big deal. However, it is proving impossible to reconnect it and no one has a remedy for the connection issue. I deleted my account after trying everything on my end and Dave support doing nothing on theirs.
20. [R22] 3/5 · US Problem with app: There is some kind of problem with this app. Every time I use it it locks me out for days and it hasn’t just happened once it’s happened every single time I’ve used the app I get locked out for a couple of days.
21. [R80] 1/5 · US Horrible system: First off the app crashes at least twice a week to where you can’t access it for a whole day. And then they just said that they sent 50 bucks to my bank and that I owe them for it, though it never got it and now the app is crashed so I can’t do anything about it other than cancel my card.
22. [R147] 1/5 · US Not a fan of DAVES customer service…: I have been going back and forth with multiple reps in a single day to regain access to my DAVE account. I have been completely locked out of the app for going on 11 days. This was not my error this time I’d be the first to admit if it were me however someone in the backend office of GOOD OL DAVE SUSPENDED MY CARD AFTER 1 single payment not even a purchase. A
23. [R56] 1/5 · US Hidden membership fee.: They charged me 1 dollar membership a month for 2 years without me noticing. 😂
24. [R116] 1/5 · US horrible app: I had this app quite a few years ago and I can definitely say this is the worst financial app ever. They make you pay undisclosed fees in order to get your cash advance and the FTC back in 2024 sued them for it. Not to mention if you are subscribe to this app, it's very difficult to cancel it I myself had to send a cease and desist letter in order for them to remove my information f
25. [R202] 1/5 · US Dave’s fees: The app seemed interesting and I had some unexpected expenses come up so I thought I’d try it out. I took my bank account down to almost 0 to pay a bill, then the day after I got the $50 from Dave a three dollar charge came through from them. They said it was in the terms and conditions, which pretty much nobody reads. They said they would credit me for it, but it would take a few d
26. [R40] 3/5 · US Like the service but your unwanted texts suck: Super annoying when you get a push notification and two text messages unsolicited within an hour or two at 8-10am. I work mids to late nights and even though I would be paid up you guys come knocking at the door like jehovahs witnesses spamming me even though I won’t engage with the notification or the texts. Kind of predatory and unthoughtful
27. [R63] 1/5 · US Scam: I would highly recommend people to stay clear of this app. They will make multiple transaction pulls if your short on funds causes you to go into a negative and they will continue doing it daily which then adds up to way more than is owed. STAY AWAY!!!
28. [R69] 3/5 · US Handy but stuck in a loop/cycle.: Dave comes really in handy when you’re low on cash. But be cautious, you can get stuck in a cycle of repayment. Try not to take more than you can handle or you’ll regret it. 😅🙃🥲
29. [R162] 1/5 · US evil company: they will trap you in a. ever ending cycle if you are poor only use this as a real last resort this company also doesn’t care about your financial wellbeing at all they will pull from your bank and throw you into the negative in a heartbeat
30. [R83] 1/5 · US Beware: Not FDIC. My husband and I each have an account. My husband received a lump sum from Social Security and Dave rejected the deposit and did not even notify him that it happened. They don’t allow deposits over 25k, even from the government. The worst part is that they don’t even notify you. We are both closing our accounts and warning others.
31. [R171] 1/5 · US Stop lying: Bunch of liars you don’t get anything unless you do direct deposit that’s what they don’t tell you
32. [R27] 1/5 · US This app is trash: They will tell you what your approved amount is but you can only get half of it upfront and the other half after. This will cause 2 different fees. They are scamming people
33. [R48] 2/5 · US Thanks but no thanks: I been using for months and I got up to 500 to borrow and paid back every month no problem and now it went back down to 100.00. Great service I am uninstalling after this last payment.
34. [R100] 3/5 · US Good app but…..: This app is good for getting money fast and it isn’t terribly expensive when paying back. BUT the major gripes about this app are the u can go from qualifying for 400 to 500 once and after paying the advance you drop down to 200 for the next advance. And the second gripe is you pay back the advance early and if you take another advance right then you pay back in the very same
