About this app

Couples Coach is designed for partners who want to improve their relationship and explore new ways to connect. The app takes users through five levels of expert-written education and engaging behavioral exercises informed by science. Popular exercises like Using I Messages and Active Listening are brought to life in a dynamic and interactive format.

Couples Coach pairs up partners as they explore assessments and share results, learn about different approaches to common relationship issues and review available resources in their communities. It also includes comprehensive relationship information for couples living with PTSD.

Although Couples Coach can help improve communication and satisfaction in your relationship, it isn’t a replacement for face-to-face couples counseling. The app features a couples counseling locator for finding a professional counselor along with several other local and national resources. Learn more about how to find a good couples therapist and take your relationship to the next level.

This app is the first of its kind, and continued development is in progress. This first trial release presents a unique opportunity for users to try the beta version and share feedback to improve the app. Join our design team! To suggest enhancements and share issues encountered, please email [e-mail].

Couples Coach was made by the mobile mental health team of the National Center for PTSD, Dissemination & Training Division.

Ratings and reviews

I actually found it beneficial, and a way to keep us from getting stale. At least until we got stuck on level 3 with a bugged required mission that won't let us complete and move on.

Literally the most useless app ever created. Great splash screen, but that's all you get. Nothing else happens.

The concept is great. Unfortunately, the app doesn't work. So sorts of glitches. Can't even get to level two. And both me and my partner completed level one.
