really bad

keep deleting the budget after you make it and the AI has absolutely no ability to understand or label anything correctly, thinking that recurring different payments to various businesses that start with the name of the city I live in are a sub subscription and refusing to believe me when I say they’re not, having absolutely no option to customise savings, I’m just generally being really really bad don’t download this. It’s a total waste of your time, and I can’t think of anything better than a spreadsheet. You’re better off with the spreadsheet. This is a waste of time. A service like this is never going to work. I’ve been put off by it for life and never strongly encouraged anyone else to use it.

Cash advance feature feels fundamentally flawed

I subscribed mainly because of the cash advance feature, but the eligibility system was incredibly frustrating. My wages are paid into my main bank account, which I connected to Cleo, but I was told there wasn’t enough income and was asked to connect more accounts.

I then connected around six different bank accounts and Cleo STILL kept telling me it needed to see more income. How is that supposed to work for someone who only has one bank account, or quite reasonably only receives their income into one account?

The whole system seems flawed if connecting the account where your wages are actually paid isn’t enough. Looking through recent reviews, I can see I’m far from the only person having problems with eligibility and bank connections.

I cancelled my subscription within 14 days because I couldn’t justify paying for a service when the main feature I wanted was effectively unusable. If you subscribe primarily for the cash advance and immediately run into the same endless “connect more accounts / show more income” problem, I’d recommend checking the cancellation terms rather than continuing to pay and hoping it eventually works.

A paid financial app shouldn’t require customers to keep connecting account after account just to prove income that is already clearly visible in their main bank account.

$20 cash advance lol

This is a joke. Don’t waste your time.

This is almost a scam.

Save your time and money. The terms suck.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD

this app is a horrible cash advance and budget tool. They analyze your bank account and based on whatever the ai determines they set your cash advance as. The part that’s absolutely ridiculous about this app is you can pay back the cash advance on time, before, it doesn’t matter. They will still give you a lower cash advance with no reason. There are way better apps like Dave or earnin which after u pay the cash advance your qualified for more. This app will make you pay for subscription for a measly cash advance. Again do not waste your time with this app. This app needsa serious revamp.

I hate this app

This app literally sucks. Doesn’t allow to request full amount offered. Has enormous fees. I literally hate this app

Terrible company

Cleo used an account I had connected to charge my monthly subscription without my permission which is against the law. I’ll be reporting them to the bbb. Don’t use Cleo. Misleading and charges whatever they want whenever they want without your permission

Borrow

Too quick to pay it back. 2 weeks work better than 5 days. Almost not worth borrowing if it has to be paid back within 5 days.

Cleo Is the best!!!

There when you need it!!!

Cleo is a joke

I wanted to cancel my subscription today and I seen that $11.99 was coming through my bank account today and I wanted a refund because I was not gonna use the card anymore. And they were not going to give me the refund because I didn’t cancel before it was renewed. Other businesses would actually give me a refund but not Cleo. I would not use them as their customer service is a joke. I will not use this company ever again. This company doesn’t even deserve a one star.

Cleo

Cleo is top 5 when it comes to overall performance in control of your finances.

Theives

Stolen my money kept my money that I had in my savings for over a month. I’ve been trying to get it out. They will not give me my money. It’s crazy. Don’t use this app.

Not satisfied

Cleo does not give you a cash advance they just take your money from your bank I don’t recommend them not satisfied

Horrible

Waste of time

Said I was approved

Asked if I was approved if my card would be accepted so soon as I paid the 5.99$ they asked for my Social Security number saying that I have a account like it won’t even let me know what the other account is linked into it don’t worry about Phil. They will try to take your money on without offering money never seen a company that wants money for them to give you money.

Hello? Hello? Hello?

Customer service is non existent

Fr

Good app

Have to pay to get advance

So dumb I caught a flat tried to get an advance was approved but I have to pay for the subscription before I get the advance if I had the money I wouldn’t be here tryna get an advance on my check right ?! Could’ve taken the money out of what you would’ve given me for the advance bozos

Would not recommend

I was ineligible for early income (despite connecting both bank accounts showing deposits paid into from my job) after purchasing the subscription so requested an immediate refund to be told it would be processed within 10 working days.

These companies are very quick to take your money but take far too long to process a refund.

The AI budget isn’t great either.

Do not recommend
