Ratings and reviews

This is my first day of downloading, so I only have a couple of insights. (Quick side note: I saw the app being used on Instagram. I went ahead and downloaded it. Will definitely earn you fellas some kudos for taking the initiative and telling your girls about it.) My girlfriend and I enjoy the app so far. We just recently started doing long distance, and we're both stoked to feel closer than ever. There are a couple of minor bugs that can/will be worked out. Worth it nonetheless.

My boyfriend and I are loving this! we've had it for 2(?) months now and personally one of my favorite features is the lil drawing pad. I'm an artist so I've been putting it to the test, LOL. You can imagine how happy I was when the update to it came thru, too! I'm sure if someone was dedicated enough they could make some REALLY detailed art, but I do messily detailed stuff haha. I'd love to see a way to customize the kinds of questions that come thru to your specific interests/boundaries!

I love this cute little app, it's helped me and my boyfriend get closer, but I do think more things need to be available free, because I find it abit odd that most of the things on this app cost, it's a good app I just think it would be nice if you didn't feel obligated to spend money on the app. that's why I only gave it 3 stars, I'd give it 5 if it was slightly cheaper.
