Ratings and reviews

This app has a lot of potential! It already has some really cool stuff. However, no widget for the canvas even though ios has it. I also love drawing and wish there was a way to zoom in and change brush size. Lastly, I wish you could directly reply to certain messages in conversations. I've only had it for one day, but I love it. I have been looking for a good LDR app.

Started playing with my boyfriend for the free version. Couldn't get enough so decided to spring for the hefty $12.99 month subscription until we can reunite (we're long distance). The past 24 hours, the app has not been accessible and has crashed before even opening. Very disappointing and wish I hadn't paid for this app. When its working, its SO FUN. But be warned, I definitely will not be subscribing another month. update: the team was able to solve the issues and get the service back.

Your app has some bizarre functionality issues. 9 out of 10 times I try to open it, it tells me to check my internet connection. I have been able to open the app at least once using data and at least once using my home wifi. While the app asks me to check my connection, EVERYTHING else on my phone has top speed connection. It is not a connection issue. The app is broken. Please, fix it.
