  1. [R3] Brigit 3/5 · US Briget: Takes a too long to process the repayment especially when I need to borrow the money again thru tough times and I need it sooner. You take too long. Just my opinion.
  2. [R28] Brigit 2/5 · US Not worth it: slow to update and eligibility never changes.: Of all these garbage cash advance apps this is definitely not the best of the bunch. On time payments take forever to “process” and as usual their support just reads from a script and they can’t really help you aside from changing due dates of payments. Doesn’t matter if your bank posts the payment, their “system” takes 2-5 business days
  3. [R46] Brigit 1/5 · US takes too long to repay: if it didn’t take a week to process the repayment this would be the top app
  4. [R48] Brigit 1/5 · US Disappointed: Way too many issues with processing and random charges I really don't recommend this app. The processing times are absolutely ridiculous. When you pay back your advance, they say it takes 2 to 5 days, but for me, it literally takes a whole week just to clear my account so I can use it again. On top of that, they take your money whenever they want. Last time, my due date was set for M
  5. [R2] Brigit 5/5 · US Love Brigit!: This app has been very helpful! Although I haven’t been able to get passed the $50 mark even though my income fluctuates due to me being a caregiver and I work different hours. I still can always count on having an extra $50 every 2 weeks lol
  6. [R4] Brigit 2/5 · US Review: It’s cool it just take to long to get a raise !
  7. [R6] Brigit 3/5 · US 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
  8. [R9] Brigit 3/5 · US 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
  9. [R10] Brigit 1/5 · US 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
  10. [R12] Brigit 3/5 · US Stop taking extra money: Not a bad loan app, but you keep switching my monthly plan randomly from the $8.99 to the $15.99 and its startin to piss me off.
  11. [R16] Brigit 1/5 · US Don’t use this guys just took money from me without me ever having a membership with them: Scam

  13. [R21] Brigit 3/5 · US Too many problems: I have uninstalled and reinstalled this app so many times and it keeps disconnecting my bank then after the codes, I’m stuck in the loop after I verify my paychecks. It’s so freaking frustrating and annoying
  14. [R36] Brigit 1/5 · US Thee worst: I’ve tried several times to connect to my bank and each time it says they can’t connect even though they use plaid a platform that works for other apps. This app is terrible. Would give 0 stars if I could.
  15. [R13] Brigit 1/5 · US Dave offered me 300$: You guys offered me 50$ insane what’s 50$ gonna help? That’s not even a tank of gas
  16. [R18] Brigit 3/5 · US It’s very meh: I had this app for over a year and never was approved for anything more than $85. I always paid on time. Basically worthless to pay so much money a month for that.
  17. [R33] Brigit 5/5 · US I like: But it doesn’t even let get 60.00 because it’s locked
  18. [R51] Dave 2/5 · US Dave: It’s good but it really scams sometimes when you get 700$ one week then the following week you get 300$ it sucks
  19. [R52] Dave 5/5 · US Extremely convenient!: I love using Dave when I’m short on cash for necessities. This app has been such a life saver! Dave makes it easy to access your cash advance and the repayment process is quick and simple.
  20. [R55] Dave 5/5 · US Easy and Helpful. Highly recommend!: Dave has always help me when I needed the most. Paydays don’t always line up when emergencies happen. It helps avoid touching savings. And makes it so easy so you know there’s no hidden fees. Love it !
  21. [R63] Dave 5/5 · US great option for me be: being on a fixed income with no room for things that come up unexpectedly Dave has been an invaluable tool I used to not have enough money for groceries at the end of the month but the flexibility of getting funds from Dave has ended that worry it’s easy to use and fast and since i know exactly when it will be repaid i can plan I recommend for anyone that’s finding things a

  25. [R72] Tilt 5/5 · US It’s Working: Love this app helps me with bills no stressing
  26. [R79] EarnIn 1/5 · US Will screw you over: Paid on time every time, and showed proof of receiving my paycheck. I asked for a single extension because times are tough (which you are allowed to do, according to the app), and now I have to share a lot of personal information to be able to take out any more earnings (such as access to GPS location and time cards (to see if I’m actually working I guess? Even though they hav
  27. [R82] EarnIn 5/5 · US Awesome app: Earnin has spotted me cash regularly when I was experiencing financial hardship. I really appreciate this app.
  28. [R87] EarnIn 2/5 · US Review: Definitely comes in clutch but I have to keep connecting my bank. I’m done doing that. It’s annoying and takes up so much time. I have to create a new log in and change it on all my devices just to use this app.

  30. [R94] Klover 5/5 · US Wonderful: These days Klover really helps when I run into unexpected problems.
  31. [R98] Klover 5/5 · US Surprisingly easy: I typically have bad luck with these Cash advance apps. Huge interest fees, low cash advance amounts, Jumping through hoops to even get it, etc. This one was super easy and the fee is extremely reasonable for the amount of money they let me borrow.

  33. [R104] Klover 5/5 · US Been great when needed the money: I am glad when can borrow when needed the money.
  34. [R111] MoneyLion 5/5 · US 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 $275 cash advance if I need it.
  35. [R118] MoneyLion 5/5 · US Excellent: This is the best app for cash. It’s a one stop shop. Can find apps or use the actual app when something unexpected comes up.
  36. [R34] Brigit 1/5 · US Don’t trust this app!!!: They changed their service plan and charged my account without permission for years I seen my bank statement and stole hundreds over the multiple years!! My bank account was connected so they kept charging without any permission and the subscription never showed up besides when it comes out of my bank!! Don’t make the same mistakes in trusting this shady company they had t
  37. [R38] Brigit 1/5 · US scam: they will give you the cash advance then will charge you with random stuff, so from me getting a 25$ cash advance i got charged 60$ in total. also the customer service sucks it takes forever for them to respond and they only do it by email
