Evergreen
Evergreen is a highly-rated relationship app that effectively fosters communication and intimacy through daily questions and games, but its free version is extremely limited, pushing most users towards a paid subscription.
Evergreen is a relationship app designed to help couples improve communication and deepen their connection through daily interactive content. While many users praise its effectiveness and engaging format, a significant portion of the app's content is locked behind a premium subscription, leading to frustration among those seeking a free experience. Recent reviews indicate some technical issues and content repetition, despite a generally positive lifetime rating.

Who it's for
Evergreen is for couples looking to enhance their communication and deepen their connection through guided daily questions and activities, especially those willing to pay for a premium subscription R4R19. It is particularly recommended for long-distance relationships R23R34R46. It is not for users seeking a fully functional free app R11 or those in polyamorous relationships, as it is designed for monogamy R41.
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew more negative than the lifetime rating, primarily due to strong complaints about the paywall and some technical issues. However, the positive sentiment regarding the app's core value in improving relationships remains strong among those who pay.

- [R4] Review: Overall this has really helped me and my partners communication and we really get to know each other more with this app! There are lots and lots of questions you can ask for you and your partner to do together. And I’m the type of person who always looks at reviews, so I really hope this helps you guys!
- [R6] Mr. B: I’m very appreciative of this app and how it is helping my wife and I take time to get a better understanding and practice of finding the things in our relationship that we definitely overlook and unknowingly don’t acknowledge.
- [R19] So far… I LOVE!: My Fiancé invited me to join this and connect with her. We have been together for three years and have three boys together. The last year was rough. Here the last few months have been getting better and better, and using the app helps me learn different ways to approach different things within our relationship. The “lessons” seem to help! I recommend to anyone wanting both couple
- [R20] Best relationship app: Simple and elegant design, great incentive system to keep engaging with the app, and most importantly practical and relatable relationship advice. If you are serious about improving your relationship, give this app a try.
- [R12] Great App: Me and my girlfriend love the app. The questions are super thought-provoking and give us great topics to talk about. You get a really good grasp on how your partner thinks on almost everything. One thing I would say would better the app is a notification sent to the partner who hasn’t played the quiz game. I will play a quiz game and it will sit there unanswered if I don’t direct my pa
- [R13] Love: The app is very simple, we downloaded to play the games and it’s now a part of our everyday routine. We both “grow” everyday by answering the questions and playing the games and I think it adds something positive to our marriage.
- [R36] Love this app!: My fiancé and I have had this app for almost a year now and it has brought us so much closer! It asks us questions we haven’t ever thought about before and helps us to open up and have more discussions about things we didn’t know we needed to talk about. We both love to do the daily questions and it’s so much fun to see our answers line up and try to keep our streaks. The only issu
- [R44] Profound AND palatable advice!: This app has something new to learn every day and it seems to follow the trend of our relationship! What’s better? If we want a little bit more of the app? There are mini games that are hilarious to play with your other half! My boyfriend and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for some honest advice or just something different to mix things up, near or apart!
- [R15] Great for all!: My partner and I just got together. We’ve both made a commitment to do things differently in this relationship and decided to give this app a try. It’s great because we can answer the questions when we have time during our days and then talk about it when we’re together.
- [R23] Wow…just wow: So a bit of background: me and my boyfriend are long distance. 😕 We’ve been best friend for two and a half years and recently a couple months ago started dating. 😊✨ We know a ton about each other obviously after being friends for so long, so I thought this would just be a cute app to connect sometimes- It is SO MUCH MORE!!!😄🥰😄 None of the questions we have been bored by, and it reall
- [R34] Don’t hesitate.: Me and my long distance partner use this app Dailey and it brings us together even though I’m in Texas and they are in Hawaii.
- [R46] Perfect for Long distance relationships: I cannot say enough good things about evergreen. If you’re thinking about it, just do it!! Especially if you and your partner are in a long distance relationship. My boyfriend and I went long distance after the majority of our relationship had been practically living together , and the transition was tough. Evergreen is something we have been doing every n
- [R10] Simple and fun: I really love this app. It’s very easy to navigate, looks pleasing, and I really love that it focuses not only on the couple but the self too. I’m only giving it 4 stars because I truly wish they offered more under the free version. It leaves me wanting to engage more but unfortunately I can’t commit to the financial subscription right now.
- [R3] Great, but paying is stupid: I love the idea of this app. Every day you get answer a question or play a game and see how you and your partner answered. I do think It’s very stupid that you have to pay to do anything more than one question and a game. The whole “grow with your partner, but if you want to grow your relationship any more you need to pay” is not cool. Though this app does not decide
- [R5] You have to pay money: The idea is great but you have to pay to do 70 percent of what’s on that app
- [R9] Eh: It’s great and has an amazing premise. However you do need to pay for a subscription. Now there are some components that are free but it is so limited you might as well just pay for it. If you’re like me then the price is not worth it but if you have the money and are willing to pay for the subscription then sure, it’s worth it. All depends on you
- [R11] Forced to pay: You literally can’t use the app and are forced to pay, do not download
- [R22] Pretty good app, but we’re starting to get a little bored of the prompts: My girlfriend and I really have enjoyed this app, but recently we’ve felt like the prompts have been a bit repetitive, and not very creative. We also would appreciate more prompts around intimacy, which is an area where the app seems to somewhat shy away from.
- [R45] Pretty Decent: My boyfriend and I have bought the year premium subscription and we have enjoyed it. We didn’t use it for several months but we’ve been more consistent about it lately and the daily prompts and weekly check ins has really helped us bond and create topic of conversations. The quizzes are fun but after awhile they become a bit repetitive not to mention some of the answers they give yo
- [R48] The content is good but limited: We have used it for a month and it is repeating. I hope they expand their prompts.
- [R2] Good but Devs are Slacking: The app seemed great and so helpful at first but after a few weeks with it, it seems the developers are getting lazier with the content and the app has started bugging a lot more lately. Me and my partner paid for a year subscription to the app because it was so helpful at first but I’m afraid it may end up being a waste of our money.
- [R14] Great app!: So I had this a while back with my ex before you had to pay for premium and it was great. Had access to everything and we were growing from it. I have it with my current boyfriend and paid for the premium because I knew that it would help us get to know each other more and grow from it and it’s been awesome. However. We both got kind of frustrated yesterday because we lost our streak
- [R50] Can’t load premium page to subscribe: Ever since the week ago update, my partner and I can no longer load the page to see what the offers are for the premium. I just click subscribe now and it just spins and spins and spins. It won’t load! And we are interested in doing premium possibly if we can see the offer at the moment!
- [R8] Great app, but needs work: The content itself is fantastic, beneficial and well worth the subscription/money. However, since I pay for it, I would like to still be able to access the exercises from the days we didn’t open the app. We’re more work at your own pace and like to take time really thinking through some of the answers. Which also means when we answer something a few days back and the oth
- [R30] quiz related review: let us look at our answers on every quiz that we finished already after our subscription ends if we already did a quiz, why lock our answers after our subscription ends
- [R40] Really digging this!: We are sticking with it. It’s the perfect way to connect and has gotten us sharing on a deeper level. A couple of things I wish it had 1) a chat box for each day or another way to direct message through the app. 2) a way to save lessons or quizzes. There are a few that I’d like to refer back to but it’s a pain to scroll through all of them. I would also like to mention that
- [R41] Good for monogamous couples: This is amazing for monogamous couples and I love using it with my fiancé but if you are polyamorous like myself then it isn’t that useful because it’s only for monogamy.
- [R16] It’s good but you can’t do much unless you pay: The app is good, it teaches a lot and gives you insight on your partner. However, there is very little to do unless you buy premium.
