  1. [R1] Widgetable 1/5 · US SO MANH ADDS: Yes this is adorable BUT you can barely take care of the pets because everything cost coins and they are some what hard to get. I expected a free cute little game but no. And everything you do almost gives you an add. In my opinion and my besties opinion it is not worth it. We actually found a better app and this one is just very adds. I also have a feeling that the coin wheel is rig
  2. [R5] Widgetable 5/5 · US So fun!: I loooovvvveeee this game. so fun and so entertaining. Five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  3. [R61] 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.
  4. [R66] 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.
  5. [R4] Widgetable 1/5 · US Ads Galore: This app has SO many ads. You can’t do anything without either paying for a feature or watching an ad. Furthermore, sometimes when you watch an ad, you don’t even get the reward you were promised because of a glitch. I was watching an ad to get a reward, and when I clicked the x, it said “reward granted” but it never gave the reward. Then, 10 seconds after that, the app said “take a br
  6. [R31] Widgetable 1/5 · US too many ads.: way too many ads. i’ll be playing a game for coins and need a tool to help and after i finish that ad it gives me 2 more. once you get sam ad it says “1 of2” so every time your watching two ads or one that’s 120 seconds. you get too many ads additional to the ones that your going to end up needing for your pets care. not s bad game at all but considering deleting over these ads.
  7. [R62] 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!
  8. [R63] 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.
  9. [R3] Widgetable 3/5 · US pin it error: I can’t flip the camera if I want to send a pin it photo, what is the problem in the app?
  10. [R55] Widgetable 2/5 · US Balancing: The app is adorable in itself, but pets get hungry often and mini-games do not reward very much coins. Even the daily wheel offers such pitiful amounts. 5-10 coins on the wheel? It has zero effect whatsoever and it feels rigged, like the developer wants you to work super hard to purchase a single food item. The only way you can keep your pets healthy is by watching a lot of ads. I think
  11. [R64] Paired 1/5 · US Not working: Used one day and it started crashing afterwards haven’t been back on
  12. [R67] 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
  13. [R7] Widgetable 2/5 · US Only usable if you pay for pro: The app is cute and the games are fun, but even when you pay for pro you still have to watch ads to get help playing the games. I feel like if you're paying for pro, you should at least get one free hint/help option a day.
  14. [R73] 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.
  15. [R70] 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.
  16. [R82] 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
  17. [R65] 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. [R85] 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.
  19. [R108] Paired 3/5 · US Can't cancel subscription-edited: Trying the free trial decided that it wasn't for us... went to go cancel the subscription, and the page to cancel the subscription will not load. Tried on WiFi, tried on cell data. No difference. Hopefully it gets figured out before they steal the money out of my account. Edit-support was very quick to fix that issue. This app wasn't for us, but it seems like
