Ratings and reviews

Use only in absolute emergency AND be prepared for repayments to happen when you least expect it and even if you have like $24. They'll take $23. You MUST have fully $0 balance to close acct which can take a few days (if you manually pay back, or takes about 5 days. If it's automaticly deducted, it's instant. So, if you cancel, make sure to do it as soon as your balance is $0. Their customer service is actually pretty darn good and very responsive. That's why I gave it an extra star. Text only

Do NOT get this app if you're struggling with money. Once you agree to the subscription, it is very hard to cancel it. First they said I needed to verify my debit card number took forever to find out they meant THEIR debit card they never sent to me in the mail, finally sorted that and now I can't close the subscription until all of my balances have been withdrawn. It shows I have $3 in investments but when I attempt to withdraw it, it says I have $0. So now I'm stuck reaching out to support.

Canceling the account is unnecessarily difficult, and in fact, after emptying all funds somehow on the day I was finally able to cancel, a random $.39 showed up in my account. The price had become excessive, and yet despite giving me a breakdown of all purchases and subscriptions, what I paid them never showed up in my spending summary. I had no idea the annual cost went from $48 to nearly $180! They'll probably charge me for May, doesn't matter that I'd been trying to cancel since mid-April.
