  1. [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.
  2. [R6] Couples Games & Challenges 3/5 · US It’s needs more Juice: It’s doesn’t have juice and no sex
  3. [R9] Couples Games & Challenges 3/5 · US Payment issues?: Paid for full access, but I only have full access to half the content.
  4. [R15] Couples Games & Challenges 3/5 · US If it were a movie it would be PG13: Well laid out app, great for younger beginners but pretty tame even for the extreme level.
  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. [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.
  9. [R1] Couples Games & Challenges 1/5 · US HORRIBLE!!!!: money grabbing lying and out right weird vibes, very unprofessional.
  10. [R16] Couples Games & Challenges 1/5 · US Review: Stop asking for more money we want free dirty questions! Thank you … go trump !
  11. [R19] 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,
  12. [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
  13. [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.
  14. [R94] 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.
  15. [R37] 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 !!!
  16. [R39] 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.
  17. [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
  18. [R76] 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.
  19. [R79] 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.
  20. [R88] Paired 1/5 · US Continued to charge: Continued to try to charge me even after canceling subscription
  21. [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.
  22. [R68] 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.
  23. [R69] 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
  24. [R80] Paired 4/5 · US Rediscovering: Great site, amazing questions with quality and relative information and games for couples. My fiancé and I are rediscovering each other again as well as getting to know new things about each other. I definitely recommend paired for all couples.
  25. [R29] Couples Games & Challenges 5/5 · US Mr Joseph Szollosy: Love it could be a little more sexual
