Ratings and reviews

I wasn't able to fully use the Ava Loan feature because the app kept showing an error message and would log me out. I received an email requesting my ID and submitted it within minutes, but I never received any follow-up or assistance to resolve the issue. I did benefit from having my bills reported, which helped add positive points to my credit score. However, I became skeptical because I wasn't able to access or use all of the benefits offered through the app. I was really looking forward to

very misleading. Does not clarify that you cannot use this "credit line" for anything until AFTER you pay the fee. It will tell you you are approved for a large amount and then after you pay and set everything up you can only actually use it for $30-50 a month and it can only be used for subscription services. I get the whole credit building thing but they need to be very upfront about restrictions and exactly what the "use" is. Makes no sense to pay out of pocket for funds you can't access.

I haven’t had a good experience with this financing app. I signed up to rebuild my credit, but my account was immediately put under review after they took the membership fee from my bank. The app wouldn’t let me use it, and I received no response to three emails and a phone call for over a week. Now they say they can’t use my bank but still want to charge $9 to cancel the membership with my bank. Overall, very frustrating.
