- [R1] Paired 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.
- [R6] Paired 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.
- [R13] Paired 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.
- [R82] Agapé Not free: Can only use if you pay for subscription or send a video to 7 people.
- [R2] Paired 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!
- [R4] Paired Not working: Used one day and it started crashing afterwards haven’t been back on
- [R61] Agapé 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!
- [R67] Agapé SCAM. DONT BUY: I purchased through a link but it didn’t tie to my account. When I told them all the necessary information to tie it to my account they simply said there’s no account for your email address, and left it at that. I was never able to login after purchasing the subscription and they fought my bank over it. I don’t recommend these guys AT ALL. There’s other ways to bond with your LDR p
- [R25] Paired 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.
- [R10] Paired 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.
- [R22] Paired 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
- [R69] Agapé Rising Paywall: I really like this app, I use it every day and it does really help me feel closer to my partner. But the questions on the free version aren’t even good. I paid for it for 2 years; the first year it was like $10 and then it went up to $20 and now I see it went up to $30 and that’s way too much. All the good features are hidden behind a paywall, I’ll just go somewhere else.
- [R87] Agapé Paywall too high, app gets boring fast without it: I’m not really in the business of paying for apps, but if this one wasn’t so expensive I would do it in a heartbeat. As is, we get so many repeat questions we can’t skip since we don’t make the kind of money to spend on things like this. I’d like to be able to talk about sex with my boyfriend, but that’s paywalled too!!! I never wrote app reviews,
- [R5] Paired 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.
- [R65] Agapé Good customer service: I had an issue with the app and it was resolved very quickly.
- [R86] Agapé wonderful customer service: my girlfriend and i accidentally missed our streak for like 6 days 😭 but they were so nice about it and helped us restored our 1 year streak. took them 2 mins to respond and resolve. love this
- [R109] Agapé fantastic app & great customer service!: i enjoy using this app with my partner and the customer service is incredibly helpful with resolving issues that arise!
