I always save my reviews for the last day. I have been using Albert for years and while you may find the advance to be helpful at first, getting out of the app is nearly impossible. The app tells you to clean out all of your accounts before you can close them. They take up to 6 days to do so. Then, in the meantime, they keep taking more money to those old accounts despite saying no. I'm on my 3rd week of trying to cancel my acct. At this point I have no more patience.

I've used this app for over 10 months now and its gotten bad. The monthly price is outrageous, and trying to cancel your account is difficult at best, and not to mention when it autopays back it pulls out in random increments for no reason which adds unnecessary transactions. edit: they are now claiming that a transaction from over 2 months ago is still pending and that's why they can't close my account. what an absolute scam. I will be filing chargebacks if my account gets charged again.

Very shady app! They make it near impossible to cancel your membership, so you keep getting charged. I tried several times to cancel and got charged a monthly fee while waiting. They are taking advantage of people who are already struggling financially. Stay away from this app. Edit: Regarding the developer's response, I've already closed my account, but not before I was charged once more.
