the advertisement for this app is disappointing. they don't tell you it's NOT a credit card. they say you will get credit and it's a great card BUT IT'S NOT. YOU CAN ONLY USE ONLINE AND AT SPECIFIC ONLINE COMPANIES. 😂 they also keep your payment. even though they will not pay any of your subscriptions (they wait 30 days and your stuff gets cut off) then they pull that amount out of your checking account. find something else please! SMH.your advertisements are still false!

Sorry for the confusion — Ava is a credit-building service, not a traditional credit card, and works only with supported online subscriptions. Payments follow billing cycles. If you had issues using the card, please contact support@meetava.com so we can help.

If I could give this app negative stars, I would. Worthless app (my credit score plummeted), even worse customer service. Don't waste your hard earned money. I was told I could cancel and receive a refund after 7 days. NOT true! Don't fall for this scam like I did! EDIT: "Customer service" says there is nothing they can do. "No refunds, no exceptions, and no looking into why my score dropped" I was told. Absolute scam.

We’re sorry for the experience — Ava doesn’t report negative marks just for joining, and we’d like to review both the score change and refund issue you mentioned. Please email support@meetava.com so we can investigate and help.

not a very good first impression, can't even log into the damn app! I enter my email I click on the link in the email and it goes back to tell me to open the app when I do it takes me right back to the page where it wants to send to verification to my email, over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. fix it and I might give another chance, otherwise I'd tell people to stay away! any app that doesn't have its ducks in a row from the get-go, when dealing with your finances, no way!
