The Worst the ABSOLUTELY WORST !!! JUST Spent almost an hour trying to cancel the order that was requested seconds after I was told that I couldn't get the money for 24 hours, Not in minutes like the ad says. "Cleo" keeps repeating her responses to my request. Over 6 ( that's when I stopped counting) times. All that for $65. NOT even the $100 that the ad says you can get. They make you sign up for their "monthly subscription " at $5.99 a month, then they charge a min of $7.99 for the $65.

Used to be better. You can pay everything on time, never miss a repayment, make the same money, with the same spending patterns, and your available amount will inexplicably be a fraction of what is was before. if youre looking for something you can count on without the mystery and guess work. I recommend empower and credit genie as an emergency source if you ever need help. its really said to see cleo fall apart like this.

App used to work great and everything processed quickly. Now, they seem to pick and choose who they want to deal with apparently. I know multiple people who use the app as well and advances are paid the day they're supposed to be, refreshed and they're offered an advance same day again. The past few times it has taken 4 to a days for "their side to process" when it has already been debited, not pending, from my account. It truly makes absolutely no sense and done with the app
