Ratings and reviews

I would put 0 stars if i could. This app is horrendous. High fees and had a random tip option. I didn't mean to tip but somehow, I gave them 5 dollars for no reason. I could not get the money back. Had a hard time navigating the app... I'm not bad with technology, and they made it nearly impossible to delete my account through the app but would not get on a phone call with me to help. The customer service is terrible.

Thought this was a good app when you needed a few extra bucks. However going thru the app looking a different things including smart savings which you must agree to for the cash advance. As I click on the smart savings there was several options which was not aware of the option that had checked on I didn't choose it gave them the option to take $5 to $100 daily out of my accounts so I changed the option to once a month however went back to the pack and it choose the 5 to $100 back automatically

Not worth it. Waited around a month+ to get approved yet after all that waiting, you'll get no more than $30 advance and they'll constantly try to trick you to add your direct deposit. There was a point where I had to force close the app because it wouldn't let me get past a page where it made it seem like you couldn't continue to the main app without signing up for direct deposit. Plus $5 fee for instant transfer. Which is more than any other app. Save yourself a headache.
