Ratings and reviews

Edit: They initially refunded my money but then retracted the transaction. What a ripoff. Original review: You have to pay the subscription first to get a cash advance. Afterwards you need to link the account your paycheck gets deposited to. Then when connecting bank accounts after they get access to your transactions, it runs into a "problem" and the link fails leaving you unable to request an advance. Nice scam fellas, respect. Keep the $6.99 seems you need it more than me.

The app itself is easy to use and navigate, but my advance amount never goes up at all. I've paid back all my advances on time for months now, and have money left over after pay day, yet I'm still stuck at $55. Kinda pointless, as that amount really doesn't help with anything. Thinking of switching back to Bridget or Dave where I was given advances 5-7x more than what I get from True. I will update if anything changes.

I used this app monthly and everything was fine up until about a week ago. Now my cash advances have repay dates 2 days after I would take an advance. What is going on? I'm not taking an advance to have to repay it 2 days later that's ridiculous! Not to mention the 8.99 fee for each advance repayment. I can understand a repayment date 2 weeks after the advance but 2 days? Come on! I'm about to cancel my subscription!
