App used to be decent, now it all just feels like a scam. I'm eligible for $300, but I can only take up to $100 per 24 hours, and if I want it quicker I have to pay the 8 dollar fee for each transaction. That's AFTER paying the monthly fee. Plus, the app has gotten so difficult to load lately. I haven't even been able to check anything on it at all today, I keep being told "there's been a problem". I think this app is on it's way out the door, and I'm deleting. There are way better options.

This is the worst advance/budgeting app Ive ever had. And I've been a user for years, so I have extensive experience. The whole thing is run by AI, and it is VERY difficult to talk to a live human. The advance amounts change whenever they want (even if your paycheck is higher, your income goes up, etc). The app needs an update every time you open it and they randomly change the amount you can borrow at a time so that you end up paying more fees for the same amount of $! Total scam app!!!

would be 5, but since I now have to wait for separate advances, split in 5 days....not too happy with that.!updated...1 stars now...can't get a human, this app has been great, until they started breaking down advance into 5 advances, charging for each one! I, like most, when you need the extra funds, you need the full amount (which was $200) not $40 every day, plus $3.99 each day to transfer, on top of paying a monthly fee! paying off my last advance and done!!! save your money...look elsewhere!
