An editorial reading of the saved reviews

The shared diary concept for couples or families is sound: the questions genuinely help people connect across distance. But an aggressive onboarding with a forced rating before first use and an abrupt move to a paid model undermine trust.

What people use it for

Couples or close people at a distance who want to keep a living conversation through questions

What reviews praise

For long-distance couples, daily questions create a shared ritual and give a reason to talk about something real.

What reviews complain about

The number of journals directly affects the subscription price, so active users end up trapped: the more they used it, the more it costs to continue.

I absolutely love this app! My husband and I currently live 3k miles apart, this app has allowed us to connect on a different level is a safe place! Best thing we have done for our marriage!

Really good for getting to know your family and friends better plus you get fun and exiting questions!

I bought this app for our anniversary. At first it was full of great questions and we would get about three questions a day and we loved filling them out. About two weeks later we only get one question per day and when I try to add a new list of questions or something. It just says 'try later'.
