Came across this on Instagram thru an ad by the devs. I've been using this for a few days now, everything works pretty well so far, some basic and some thought provoking simple but overall really good conversation starters. The paywall is there but not in your face or annoying so far. There's plenty to talk about and answer even tho I'm just using the free version, definitely recommend. I definitely wish there was a way to request data deletion for sure though.

I love the app. It has a lot of interesting questions that keep my partner and I talking for days. However, it just logged me off randomly and I can't log back in. When I enter my login details and select continue, it doesn't respond. If it does respond and a code is supposed to be sent to my email, I don't get any code. Our progress is probably lost now😞 I emailed the support team and got a quick response, they were very helpful😊 I'm back to chatting with my partner🤭

The questions are thought-provoking and good conversation starters, and the layout of the app is intuitive. The amount of features included in the free version is very reasonable. However, I have one critique: once a conversation is started, the text response box is only one line of text thick, which makes it really difficult to proofread or edit what you have typed
