  1. [R1] Couples Games & Challenges 1/5 · US HORRIBLE!!!!: money grabbing lying and out right weird vibes, very unprofessional.
  2. [R4] 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.
  3. [R18] Couples Games & Challenges 2/5 · US Everything’s behind a pay wall: I didn’t like the fact that every intensity except soft is behind a paywall at least make hard free and the 2 most intense behind a paywall,
  4. [R48] Couples Games & Challenges 1/5 · US You got to pay to use 80% of the features: 80%+ of what this apps has to offer is locked behind a paywall
  5. [R2] 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.
  6. [R3] 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
  7. [R5] Couples Games & Challenges 4/5 · US Game is fun… but…: Game is what I expected, but why does it keep asking me to buy a subscription when I already paid for one year? Very annoying.
  8. [R9] Couples Games & Challenges 3/5 · US Payment issues?: Paid for full access, but I only have full access to half the content.
  9. [R6] Couples Games & Challenges 3/5 · US It’s needs more Juice: It’s doesn’t have juice and no sex
  10. [R26] Couples Games & Challenges 1/5 · US Game: Don’t like it not into it that much . A lil boring for mine and my partners taste .
  11. [R32] Couples Games & Challenges 1/5 · US Bad app: You play just a little bit and you will start have the same questions not worth it !!!
  12. [R7] Couples Games & Challenges 2/5 · US Horrible: I was able to put names along with selecting gender, however, it kept getting the genders wrong on several cards. Instructions during a few games were horrible.
  13. [R13] Couples Games & Challenges 1/5 · US Problem: I downloaded paid for all upgrades and then deleted and re opened. Everything was gone and all payments voided wants to recharge Customer support is 48 hours Robot recommendation doesn’t work even though it’s a known issue and says easy to fix Says will be 48 hours to come back which is not good enough for the most basic of issues Will see if it even happens
  14. [R30] Couples Games & Challenges 1/5 · US I cannot cancel the subscription: I downloaded the app and I wanted to try the other features, so I pay for a month. But now I want to cancel and there’s not option to do it, I try to do it using the “contact us” option but there’s no response. They’re going to keep charging me even when I don’t want the subscription anymore? Don’t pay anything!!!
  15. [R51] 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.
  16. [R53] 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.
  17. [R55] Paired 5/5 · US So nice and helpful: An amazing app that helps me and my long distance (NOT FOR LONG) amazing girlfriend connect on a deeper level and learn more about eachother. Also, I recently just got a new phone and I wasn’t able to get back into my paired account. We contacted paired services and they were able to recover my account very easily and they were very helpful.
  18. [R56] 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.
  19. [R65] Love Pins 1/5 · US Ads: Can you have any more ads????????
  20. [R67] Love Pins 3/5 · US Less advertisements more playtime: I’ve just recently downloaded this app and I love playing this game but it’s like every two seconds there is an advertisement for something and you can’t get no airtime or playtime out of it it’s all advertisements so please fix it
  21. [R69] Love Pins 5/5 · US A good game to play: A good game to play
  22. [R70] Love Pins 3/5 · US Love pins: The reason that I gave three stars cause level 48 is impossible
  23. [R79] 21 Questions 2/5 · US Cool but..: Nice app but membership for a game is crazy!
  24. [R80] 21 Questions 5/5 · US Great: Great fun app
  25. [R81] 21 Questions 3/5 · US cool: good for date night
  26. [R82] 21 Questions 1/5 · US CUSTOMER SERVICE TERRIBLE: The subscription auto renewed with no warning and I didn’t even use the app and upon requesting a refund I quickly found out that this app is not even ran by real people! When you email their fake customer support about an issue you just get an automated response no matter what and they don’t handle your issue at all! They don’t even issue refunds themselves because real
  27. [R93] Challenge Your Friends 2Player 1/5 · US too many adds: too many adds
  28. [R94] Challenge Your Friends 2Player 5/5 · US Great fun actually: This is actually a really cool concept for kids and adults. Great job!!!
  29. [R95] Challenge Your Friends 2Player 3/5 · US Good but major bugs: The game is addicting since how good it is. But you have major and frequent bugs like cmon. I’m stuck on the stupid daily screen because it’s like it forgets it’s not loaded yet. Maybe either fix the bug even remotely or just simply change the system like not having it be the first thing on the screen when you just want to play.
  30. [R96] Challenge Your Friends 2Player 2/5 · US Because: The robot always wins no mater what
  31. [R34] Couples Games & Challenges 2/5 · US Not very impressed, but levels? Not without more examples!: Pretty unimpressed with the basic “free” level truths or dares. Certainly not enough to fork over $10 to get higher levels. Need to see some examples before forking over cash. Deleting this app.
  32. [R58] 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.
  33. [R71] Love Pins 2/5 · US Constant Ads: More ads than play…ridiculous!
  34. [R73] Love Pins 2/5 · US I like it but!: I paid for no ads, and guess what? I’m still getting ads.
