Ratings and reviews

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.

I have never gotten more than a 40 dollar advance and I have been using Cleo for 8 months or more. You have to pay a 5.99 a month membership fee and the more you get the higher transfer rate, starting at 5.99. It needs to be a higher advance amount after 3 months. You can only talk to an automated system for any problems or questions. My advance amount keeps going down 45, 40, 35, 30 and now 25. I wouldn't recommend this app for those reasons. If it gets any smaller it will not be worthwhile.

Don't be fooled. It says up to amount, they constantly change it, even if you're a little late on payments. I'm still make the payments, they still don't give you much of an advance like the other ones out there. Such as Dave and ALBERT and bright, much better apps, and much better advances. They trick you into upgrading by offering. once you do, they tell you, you get even less as mine was higher before signing up. And then they charged me 9.95 even though I canceled literally 10 min later.
