  1. [R4] Tilt 1/5 · US Whole app is trash: I then been through detail update app update and nothing was fixed on my account nothing changed and I still can’t take the amount they said I can get but they love tracking my money and trying to get me to pay them for service I can’t use
  2. [R5] Tilt 5/5 · US Cool: Less stressful hassle free thank you
  3. [R7] Tilt 5/5 · US Tilt: Very fast very up front
  4. [R9] Tilt 5/5 · US Cash Fast: Easy and a life saver
  5. [R1] Tilt 1/5 · US Be stealing: Every few weeks they keep taking 8 dollars out my account no explanation
  6. [R3] Tilt 3/5 · 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?
  7. [R52] Tilt 5/5 · US Great help: Besides the monthly fee, which I think is a little much, tilt has been a great help. Once you’re qualified and pay on time, everything is not so bad.
  8. [R64] Dave 2/5 · US Transfer fee: The fee is too high
  9. [R6] Tilt 1/5 · US Don’t get it: I tried it try logging in and it wouldn’t let me it’s that too many attempts turn my phone number and instead of send an email It never did . It’s just a big headache.
  10. [R8] Tilt 1/5 · US Zero stars actually: Not good. Its been a temporary outage on my account for weeks and support has not been able to help. Do not use.
  11. [R12] Tilt 2/5 · US Did work wonderful till it didn’t: Have been using this app for about a year and now all of a sudden it doesn’t want to log into my personal bank account that has been connected to the app. I’ve tried having customer service help me out but they were not helpful; I’ve tied deleting app or the bank account connected to it, and everything else they told me to do and it still will not allow me to rec
  12. [R20] Tilt 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
  13. [R35] Tilt 5/5 · US The easiness of tilt: It was an me & tilt. I wanted those hundos that 1st heckin month. But they made me wait just a lil bit just to show em I had money coming in. So once I repaid the 1st loan which was just like 25 or something, the loans got bigger & bigger and more and more helpful. Thank you tilt.
  14. [R49] Tilt 5/5 · US Steady income=advance: I was skeptical at first. But even if you receive benefits once a month, you’ll be able to get an advance. The only issue is you’re only allowed advance notice more than 15 days before your payday. And they will start at $25 for initial advance notice. But with every payment made on time you can be granted an increase in maximum amount allowed. Definitely recommend it to oth
  15. [R63] Dave 3/5 · US Stop decreasing loan: I wish they would stop decreasing the loan options just because I did not want to borrow the full amount every 2 weeks.
  16. [R69] Dave 3/5 · US Would have gave it 5 stars if they asked me a few months ago.: At first it was amazing I would get $600 when needed but lately they only offer $300 and have to take it $225 and then $75 which I guess is their way of getting more money for me to pay it back. Plus I don’t understand why I’m not offered $600 I always paid it back on time.
