1. [R1] Paired 2/5 · US I love it but I hate that they want to charge you to have more access: My husband and I love answering the daily question and we use what we can that’s free. I just wish they didn’t have to charge to access more.
2. [R6] Paired 3/5 · US Free version: This app is cool except there is nothing to “enjoy” if you can’t afford premium. The only thing available is the daily discussions. There is nothing other options or sections available. I would love to be able to purchase access but our budget would not allow it. Please make more available to those that can’t afford it.
3. [R10] Paired 2/5 · US Great app!: This is a great app. Interesting questions etc- however, the price of the premium app is a bit excessive. Almost 30$ a month.
4. [R13] Paired 2/5 · US Paywall: I do like the daily questions. The questions initiate conversation you wouldn’t think of. However 99% of the app is blocked behind a paywall. I understand that they can’t be completely free but it would be nice if there was a free option that wasn’t just a question a day. Maybe a free couples game a day or something other than just one question.
5. [R3] Paired 3/5 · US OK at first…: It’s okay at first, then gets a little stale and repetitive. At first there was an option to shuffle the daily questions, then the developer eliminated that feature and made the app vastly less customizable. It’s probably best for couples in the first 5 - 10 years of marriage, but it doesn’t have tons of content and functionality for the 20+ year couples.
6. [R9] Paired 3/5 · US Married: I gave it a 3 because I believe the app is more for beginning couples or relationships rather than married couples even though it’s advertised like it is. If you say you’re married I believe the questions & formatting should be different. (Just a suggestion) on the other hand if you’re trying to rekindle and get to know your partner for who they have become I can see where it might aid
7. [R15] Paired 3/5 · US Repetitive: Paired is fun at first, but with no new quiz types coming out, it gets boring. A lot could be improved here to get replay-ability.
8. [R42] Paired 3/5 · GB Fine for a while: Questions get samey, it’s stops being useful after a while. It’s not very intuitive.
9. [R7] Paired 1/5 · US They’re gonna charge you: I canceled the free subscription on day four or something like that and they attempted to charge me on day seven as well as day eight even though my settings and everywhere says that my subscription has been canceled. I had to turn it credit card company as fraud. Still not sure if that’s gonna stop them from trying to charge it again thankfully I use the card that they c
10. [R16] Paired 1/5 · US Either an unacceptable unsubscribe bug or gross practices.: I kind of enjoyed the app but didn’t see the value for me using it long term after trial and I cancelled the premium the day it expires with PLENTY of time. I saw the screen confirmed my decision to unsubscribe, I had reached the final page of unsubscribing. This morning I woke up to a bill for a YEAR LONG SUBSCRIPTION.
11. [R19] Paired 1/5 · US Randomly Charges You: I haven’t used the apps in months. I confirmed I don’t have an active subscription but I still got charged for some reason. I wouldn’t trust it.
12. [R28] Paired 1/5 · US Continued to charge: Continued to try to charge me even after canceling subscription
13. [R2] Paired 4/5 · US Forced updates: 700 day streak over here. Love the app. Hate when I’m in a hurry to do my daily question and the app forces an update. Please change that and I’ll be back to 5 stars!
14. [R4] Paired 1/5 · US Not working: Used one day and it started crashing afterwards haven’t been back on
15. [R24] Paired 3/5 · US Secret Mission History: I wish there was a way to go back and view completed secret missions. If your partner completes one and you accidentally close the app while it’s loading - you can’t see the mission they completed.
16. [R25] Paired 1/5 · US Support page gives incorrect info for troubleshooting: I didn’t even get past setting everything up before running into issues. I spent quite a bit of time trying to fix things but got so frustrated I deleted the app and gave up. I really wanted to give this a go but if I’m already having these problems at the beginning, I don’t want to spend money to risk any more issues that may arise.
17. [R30] Paired 3/5 · US Needs work: Great premise but needs works. My guy and I are just starting out and the questions are geared towards vet relationships not new relationships, app should ask more questions about the stage of the relationship to tailor the questions accordingly. Like we don’t live together so questions surrounding that are useless to us right now.
18. [R33] Paired 3/5 · US Not for all ages!: As an older couple we find some of the questions geared towards a younger couple who are just getting started on their journey. Honestly…if you are newly married (in your 20’s) and already using PAIRED…you are in trouble.
19. [R45] Paired 3/5 · GB Frustrating: Tried to write a review already but it was never posted. It’s a good app, mostly, but the writers seem to sometimes have a one track mind - and many of the answer options are simply not relevant. Pointless questions with limited responses (often pointless and inappropriate for the older user)
20. [R51] Evergreen 1/5 · US Sad: I’ve been using for 1,468 days, throughly enjoyed the free experience and was slightly disappointed when they reduced the free version to only one question a day. It is now fully paid only, all questions are locked. Sad to stop using after so long.
21. [R52] Evergreen 5/5 · US Love it!: I really love this app. My spouse and I LOVE taking the quizzes!
22. [R53] Evergreen 3/5 · US Like it but has issues: This app is wonderful except when it doesn’t give a prompt for the day. It completely wipes out your streak. I have an iPhone and my husband has an android and one day he missed a day because it never showed up on his phone. Also, we haven’t had a prompt in 10 days. Makes no sense to pay for something that doesn’t work properly.
23. [R54] Evergreen 1/5 · US Terrible/non existent customer service: If in the case you have a billing issue or need to reach out to customer service for whatever reason there is no way to contact them besides through email and wait days for a response. They also don't send any heads up or notifications that a subscription renewal is occurring so if life gets busy and you forget there's not fixing it. They also won't help wit
24. [R65] Cozy Couples 1/5 · US Ridiculous: At first the app was awesome, then it seems like they ran out of ideas for it, the drawing game is just awful with the options they give you and the journal is getting worse and more boring with the questions wouldn’t recommend this
25. [R66] Cozy Couples 5/5 · US Such a cute and cozy game: My boyfriend and I loveeee this app. It’s something for us to casually do to nurture our relationship every single day and he likes that I keep him updated on my mood as a stay at home mom while he’s at work. We were talking today and wish there were more games to play that weren’t just trivia! We loveeee pixels but having more activity like games would be wonderful!!
26. [R67] Cozy Couples 3/5 · US Breaks your streak: My wife and I have been enjoying this game together and have consistently hit every single day for 45 days since getting the app. Today we opened it and saw our streak ended. We can see we sent each other messages yesterday. Then it pushes the plus to get the streak back? We’re so disappointed.
27. [R68] Cozy Couples 1/5 · US Overcharged: I clicked on the free 7 days trial to see if I liked the app l and cancelled on the 6th day but still got charged $39.99. I try to dispute it with my bank but apparently my they still took my money. Ridiculous price for only using it 6 days. What a scam! 👎
28. [R79] Agapé 2/5 · US Doesn’t Load: I was excited to try this app with my boyfriend and my 3 long distance best friends, but while on the free trial, the app wouldn’t load and I wasn’t able to answer any prompts, add connections, or view the scrapbook/diary. I cancelled the trial and deleted the app. Maybe I’ll try again once the app updates, it sounded really cool!
29. [R80] Agapé 5/5 · US Second year says it all!: My daughter gifted this to me last year for Christmas. We never missed a day. It's a lovely way to connect quickly, but thoughtfully each day. Most of the questions are very thought provoking but there have been some memory ones that actually let us KNOW each other better. We decided to add another 365 days to our already wonderful record. Highly recommend❤️
30. [R81] Agapé 3/5 · US Minimum Connections for Free: I have only been using this for a very short time and I think it will help deepen my relationship with my adult son. However, after I signed up I found out you have to have at least three people to be able to see the answers to the questions. This is a little disheartening because I only have the one child and I don’t see his dad participating.
31. [R82] Agapé 1/5 · US Scam: I am not happy that I have to subscribe to use this app. When back in 2022 and 2023 it was free to use the app and I did not have to subscribe. However, my friend can use the app for free, I find this so unfair. This app is a scam and just want money that people don't have. Don't use this app. It's a scam.
32. [R93] Lasting 1/5 · US Price: Annoying as f price is not listed before downloading but because it has a 7 dsy free trial it shows up under the free apps.. no access until you pick a subscription…
33. [R94] Lasting 5/5 · US Helpful: Its interesting how we can compare sneers and talk about it later
34. [R95] Lasting 3/5 · US It’s okay. Please add more: The app is OK. It really needs more. Everything that’s on there is pretty good in Content and interaction, but there’s really nothing there. What’s the point of a subscription if there is not much to teach.
35. [R96] Lasting 1/5 · US Date and Time Stamp Errors Could Be Catastrophic: The exercises in this app look amazing, but the date and time stamps are very off. An entry I posted on 9/1 was dated 8/1, and a reply from my partner for today 9/11 was dated 8/24. This is a disaster as it lends the appearance of neglect. I’m very angry over this, because it has the protential to ruin a relationship at the same time that it intend
36. [R107] Couples Games & Challenges 1/5 · US HORRIBLE!!!!: money grabbing lying and out right weird vibes, very unprofessional.
37. [R108] Couples Games & Challenges 4/5 · US Very good app, Great app with some minor tweaks: Great platform and dare database. The only improvements I can think of are 1) make it so that dates can’t repeat until the whole list has been used. 2) Most of the “extreme” dates are more Hot or Hard IMO. 3) it does keep asking be to subscribe after I already did.
38. [R109] Couples Games & Challenges 3/5 · US Cancel sub: It was fun but I want to cancel my subscription and I can’t figure out how, in app text support was no help
39. [R110] Couples Games & Challenges 1/5 · US Lame: Out of the gate they want money, dares to give hugs? Truth, boobs or butt? Come on, I feel like I’m in 5th grade playing spin the bottle. Zero stars if possible.
40. [R22] Paired 1/5 · US Too expensive: Was really interested until I saw the prices. These app companies are getting so greedy and they can’t expect us to pay this much for all these different apps. It all adds up. Should be a cheaper version with ads or something
41. [R34] Paired 1/5 · US Terrible billing and poor customer support: I tried the free 7 day trial and liked it. I signed up and was charged $79.99 for a year, used it for a month, and shared it with a friend. My friend went to sign up and it was only $39.99/ a year. I contacted customer support and the bot that I dealt with said I “should be paying $79.99 a year because the $39.99/ a year is correct” which made no sense.
42. [R31] Paired 1/5 · US Can’t cancel!: Tried the app with wife and app itself is fine. But decided to not buy the premium, went through the cancelation process. Tonight I get noticed I’m being billed for a year subscription. User be ware!
43. [R8] Paired 5/5 · US Long distance flame: My husband and I have been married for 23 years. We’ve never been apart longer than five days. I got an opportunity to go overseas for work for five weeks. We were really worried about staying connected while I was there. The Paired app was amazing! It really helped us stay connected and even after 23 years of marriage, it helped us grow.
