Between, Couples Love Tracker
authentic ratingLong-term couples keep Between as their main way to communicate instead of regular texts, valuing the private separate channel, stickers, shared calendar and photo cloud. The huge pain is that for some people old photos and years of chats suddenly vanish, files older than a few months turn into gray boxes, and support goes silent for months. On top of that the app has not been updated in a long time, there are no reactions or replies to messages, and by today's standards it is a very basic messenger.
Reviews are very specific and from long-time users with 5-8 years of use, describing encrypted communication separate from iMessage, stickers, a shared calendar and a photo cloud. Even the one-stars are concrete about lost photos, so no sign of inflation, the score is dragged down by the real pain of data loss.
