Relationship apps can help you and your partner stay on the same page and even spice things up. Are you looking to use one but aren’t sure what it can offer your relationship?
Your phone can help you get from point A to point B, make last-minute purchases, stay in touch with friends around the world, and even help you find your soulmate. Did you know that your phone can also help you build a loving and long-lasting relationship with your partner? Whether you’re in the early stages of your relationship or approaching your 10th anniversary, download a relationship app and discover the benefits it can bring to you, your partner, and your relationship.
Stay on the Same Page
When you’re in a relationship, it can be difficult to schedule meetings with friends and prioritize family time. This is natural, since you also share your time with your partner. It’s even more complicated when you both have your own calendars, appointments, and priorities after work. Couples use apps to keep their lives in sync and organized.
Simply Us is a free iOS app that organizes your life so you can work together seamlessly. Do you and your partner often make double dinner reservations? Or do you pick the wrong movie to watch this month? This is normal, but it shouldn’t happen again. You can use Simply Us to create to-do lists, track upcoming tasks, and have a synced calendar so you’re always on top of things. You’ll never have to worry about scheduling conflicts again.
Two other apps that do this are Couple and Between. They’re like private social networks that only you and your partner can access. Think of them as your own personal space to store your memories. On Couple, you can make voice or video calls, send each other beautiful pictures, and, like on Simply Us, share calendars. Couple has a cool feature called Thumbkiss that lets you feel connected to your partner no matter how far apart you are. Just press the same spot on your screens and both phones will vibrate at the same time. Between is a hugely popular app among couples, thanks to its engaging features that keep you in sync at all times. You can send each other animated emoticons to brighten your days.
Keeping your schedule organized not only makes life easier, but it also helps you avoid petty arguments and frustrations that can strain your relationship. But if you find yourself in a fight, there’s an app for that. “Fix a Fight” is popular with many couples who argue frequently. The app offers tips on resolving arguments and has relaxation exercises to help both parties calm down. It even features a voiceover by Mark McGonigle, a renowned psychotherapist and marriage counselor.
Deepen Your Relationship
Relationship apps can do much more than sync your schedules and keep you both on the same page. If you feel like you already know each other and there’s nothing more to explore, download TheIceBreak to spend some quality time together. This iOS app aims to help couples have more meaningful conversations to understand each other better. You’ll be surprised to discover things about your partner that you didn’t know before. It includes a list of questions, some common and some extremely unusual, that you can discuss with your partner and have a great time. In addition to learning about each other, every time you answer a question, you earn virtual coins that you can buy at a discount on your next date.
If you like the idea of TheIceBreak, you’ll also like HappyCouple. The next time you and your partner are relaxing, put your phone away. The app asks you both about your habits and personality traits, then lets you compare answers. It’s a fun way to pass the time and learn about each other in the process.
Spice things up
Finally, relationship apps can take your relationship to new heights by offering features that can make others smile. Can you find yourself sitting in front of your computer at work with nothing special to say to your partner but you just want to show them that you are thinking about them? You will love the LokLok app. It syncs your and your partner’s phone screens and lets you send messages back and forth. These messages can be images, selfies or personalized texts. Your partner will see them directly on the lock screen without having to unlock the phone. The only drawback of LokLok is that it is only available for Android users. Another application similar to this is Couplete. It allows you to send love letters or create a story like Instagram or Snapchat to share with each other.
If you want a little more flavor, we’ve got you covered. Kindu is ideal for new couples who may be shy about proposing or trying new things in the bedroom. This app makes everything a lot less awkward by allowing you to propose ideas to your partner directly through the app. Your partner can then respond to these suggestions with their own response, eliminating awkward tension. You can also try 69 Places, which offers 69 places where you and your partner can get intimate. This can help couples who are nervous about trying new things because it makes them feel like they are together and on the same page.
Happily Ever After
Relationship apps are downloaded and used by different types of couples at different stages of their relationship. There are simpler, more conservative apps, while others are a little more risque and offer x-ray advice. Whatever your relationship is and what you’re looking for, a relationship app can be a fun and useful addition to your relationship.
