### 1/5 — Hassle to cancel

*2026-08-29, version 7.158.0*

A scammer used this app the create an account and they made it difficult to cancel to my  account. Why won’t you just let a person cancel?

### 2/5 — Helpful but a waste

*2026-08-28, version 7.158.0*

The fact that you can only take $100 out at a time seems Criminal. Then just out of nowhere the amount that I could take out just decreased out of nowhere and I don’t understand how they can do that if I earned something for paying on time and proper usage then how do you just change the amount. You earn extra cash to take out and they can just change it any time

### 1/5 — Don’t do it

*2026-09-04, version 7.158.0*

I have been stuck in the loop of this app for about six months now it started with me needing an extra crash and it turned into a repetitive cycle of having to pay them over $100 in fees every month, my rent was due on the first, and I’ve kind of depended on this money and now I can’t get a loan because I missed a loan payment by $30 now I can’t pay rent because I depended on this money and I don’t know what I’m gonna do just don’t fall for it no matter how bad you need money

### 1/5 — worst app ever

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-09-02, version 7.158.0*

They will loan you money, but they completely screwed up my bank account, they snuck in changing my direct deposit without directly letting me know and then when all of my EFT’s were hitting it overdrew my normal bank account because they changed my direct deposit without my permission. They said they were checking my employment status, but they actually removed my old debit card and bank account And added their in to my employer very sneakily.  Beware.

### 1/5 — Biggest scam app Every

*2026-09-01, version 7.158.0*

Every time I tried canceling a membership. They charged me for something different, whether it’s for credit building or the membership I wanna have everything paid off. It tells me I have to wait. Or I should give it a second chance to cancel it. I called customer service and there’s no help. Don’t sign up for
