  1. [R1] Dave 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.
  2. [R4] Dave 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
  3. [R10] Dave 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
  4. [R67] Tilt 5/5 · US Easy and fast: Great place for a cash advance
  5. [R3] Dave 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.
  6. [R7] Dave 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
  7. [R63] Tilt 3/5 · US Fast and easy: Grateful
  8. [R88] Tilt 5/5 · US Nice app: I like the app so far, about 2 weeks in. Seems easy to use and straightforward to what you’re trying to get to.
  9. [R37] Dave 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.
  10. [R59] Dave 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
  11. [R65] Tilt 5/5 · US Happy customer: When I need quick cash I know Tilt will come through!
  12. [R91] Tilt 5/5 · US Very dependable: The money is there as soon as you need it they will give you 3 options to choose from and then it’s sent to you the same day I love it
  13. [R57] Dave 1/5 · US Fees are way too high.: Highest fees out of everyone for advances, and that’s not even counting fast transfer. Other platforms only charge a fee upon transfer to your bank account, the flat fees from Dave are digusting.
  14. [R29] Dave 1/5 · US Hidden membership fee.: They charged me 1 dollar membership a month for 2 years without me noticing. 😂
  15. [R62] Tilt 5/5 · US Great App: Money when you need it for a very low fee
  16. [R81] Tilt 5/5 · US Great News: Tilt has great pay back rates and will also work with everyone go Tilt!!!!
  17. [R43] Dave 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.
  18. [R61] Tilt 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?
  19. [R74] Tilt 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.
