Best couples apps

Daily questions that spark conversation, learning your partner deeper, sense of connection at a distance, responsive support when moving an account, eggmon pet and small side activities

Minute-long ads for a few pebbles, ads after every question, slow currency grind, some questions with a negative slant, VIP became a subscription instead of a one-time buy, crashes and lost access after switching phones

A couple that wants to learn about each other daily through questions and is willing to tolerate ads or pay to remove them

Shared couple's journal, days-in-love counter, anniversary tracking, use over hundreds of days, premium themes

Counter off by a day, lost entries and wiped data, changes language and dates on its own, ad on every action, premium not visible to the second partner

Quality and depth of the questions, helps you learn about your partner and start awkward conversations, works even for long-together couples, secret missions

No advice on how to improve areas you scored low on, questions get stale and repeat, versus games annoy people, questions aimed at long-term couples not new ones, charged for a full year at once and unclear subscription

Couples who want to learn more about each other and get talking, and are willing to pay a subscription

Days and months relationship counter, simplicity, accurate count, sharing the counter anywhere

Constant rate-this-app popup appears on every open, blocks the screen and gets in the way of screenshots, very little to do beyond the counter itself

Couples who just want to see and show off how long they have been together

Daily questions for closeness, daily photos of each other, home-screen widgets, drawing on a shared canvas, the streak as a ritual, long-distance help, oddly deep questions about a partner

You pay per partner separately, every update hides more behind a subscription, drawing gets laggy over time, camera sometimes won't upload a photo, a 2-question daily limit, odd or inappropriate questions, can't write your own questions

A long-distance couple that wants a daily ritual of questions and photos and is fine paying for two

Helps you open up and have deeper conversations, daily activities and quizzes, the growing relationship tree metaphor, simplicity and engagement
