What Are The Best Apps For Couples?

If you think the quest for ~connectivity~ ends at "I do," you're missing out. All of us could use a bit of extra fire in our relationships, or even just a bit more organization, and there are mobile apps to help. If you've spent too much time on Candy Crush and not enough on your partner, there is still hope — just get your hands on a phone. And for those who are adventurous enough to try out kinky tech stuff, there are even sex toys you can get on Plug Lust which couples can remotely control using mobile apps!

Turbocharge your relationship with these 8 couple and relationship apps, all available on iOS and Android app stores, that help you organize money, plan romantic evenings, and amp up your sex life (well, maybe). They’re worth testing out, at least!

Between app - A couple relationship tracker, one of the best apps couples love

Between | A private messaging app for couples

Cutesy alert! Between is an app that loves to brag how much it is loved by couples. Keep track of special occasions, send private messages, and cover your pics in tons of animated gifs and stickers. While animated bunnies with bouncing hearts aren’t my thing, my wife can’t get enough. Point to you, Between.

This app is a clever way to track your relationship together. Snap photos and outfit them with the aforementioned stickers but organize them into albums as well. Lovingly look back at your Christmas party, your last weekend date, or your trip to the Grand Canyon. All of those albums are then displayed as the “story” of your relationship over time.

Use the integrated calendar to plan new adventures or events like a date night or anniversary party. These can be kept in the app where you can each see one another’s calendars. Between even has the ability to automatically calculate a countdown until those events to get you both excited.

Using the Messaging app is boring, Between combines messaging with fun themes and artwork as well as your calendars. It’s a great way to stay connected with your special someone in a private, secure way.

Goodbudget budget planner app - An app to track your finances and budgeting with your partner

GoodBudget | Track your expenses and budget with your partner

Tracking finances can be a royal pain in the a—, well... you know. But it gets even more complicated when you merge your finances with your loved one. GoodBudget is a simple tracking app that makes that a reality with little effort.

The app itself is a fairly standard accounting app. Input your monthly expenses and income, denote any purchases you make, and see where you spend that money. Create a budget that works for you and your family by dolling out set amounts into each category — $150 for groceries, $100 for eating out, $1100 in rent, and perhaps an extra $175 for date night. Each time you spend something, add it to the app and “remove” the cash from the specific virtual envelope.

You can see how you hold onto your budget if you come in under-budget or overspend. This San Francisco-based mobile app is also able to show you your current debt. It visualizes all your debt sources and balances and how you’re doing at paying it down over time.

Do all of that while sharing with a loved one. Sync across both your devices and as each of you spend or pay off a bill, denote it in the app for both to see. GoodBudget won’t make you money, but it brings much more visibility to where it is spent. Start tracking together and practice a better financial responsibility as a couple.

Love Nudge | The love language app to connect with your partner

Whether it is about your finances, how you’re feeling, or in the bedroom... it all comes back to communication. Almost all the other apps in the list revolve around communication in some form or another. Love Nudge is different by focusing specifically on how you communicate in the five different languages of love: physical touch, acts of service, quality time, words of affirmation, and receiving gifts.

Love Nudge prompts you to take a short quiz to help identify which of the five love languages are most important to you. Do you prefer to hear “I love you” or would you rather receive a special surprise? Once you answer those questions you can send the quiz to your partner. Love Nudge then analyzes each of your answers to create personalized goals that speak to your partner’s desires.

Based on how your partner responded, Love Nudge will encourage you to perhaps cook dinner for your partner, ask about their day, or watch a movie together. You can carry these goals out and see how your relationship evolves.

You can also manually nudge one another from the app, encouraging one another when they’re doing well. You can also specifically highlight things they’ve done that you enjoyed or things they could do that you’d love.

As you complete these tasks and goals, you can watch your partner’s “love tank” fill up. An insights tab lets you see your progress over a week, month, or year so you can see how you or your partner put in the effort.

By knowing more explicitly what is important to your partner it makes it easier to fulfill their desires for your relationship. It takes out some—but not all—of the guesswork between the two of you. Help your relationship grow and improve as you get to know your partner better.

Paired | Navigating couple dynamics, made easier

Relationships are like gardens: they need constant tending to—a splash of sunshine, a sprinkle of water, and lots of love to keep them healthy and flourishing. Enter Paired, the app that's all about helping couples grow stronger together.

Paired prompts daily conversation between you and your partner through questions, quizzes, exercises, and short videos presented by experts that are designed to help you explore and understand each other better. The beauty of Paired is in its simplicity — it’s about creating a habit of communication.

And for the times when you need a little extra guidance, there’s expert relationship advice available within the app. This way, it’s like having a pocket-sized relationship counsellor, providing insights when you need them.

Agapé | Stay intimately connected when apart

The heartache that accompanies a long-distance relationship is all too real. Agapé was designed to make you feel closer even when you’re miles apart. By providing a shared space for couples to connect throughout the day, it aims to bridge the geographical distance that separates you.

This app digitally transforms “touches” and “hugs” to your loved one. It may sound quirky, but these little digital gestures of affection can go a long way in making you feel closer. Plus, Agapé also offers a journaling feature that allows couples to document their journey together.

The beauty of Agapé is in the fact that it acknowledges how important non-verbal forms of communication are in expressing love. If you’re far from your partner, Agapé could be the dose of intimacy you’ve been missing.

Evergreen | Fostering growth and development in relationships

Like the evergreen trees that keep their leaves all year round, Evergreen: Relationship Growth is designed to keep the flame of your love alive and vibrant through all seasons. This app is about taking your relationship from good to great by adding a touch of intentionality and mindfulness.

This gives a sense of purpose and direction to your journey together.

Lasting | A "forever" app for couples committed to the long haul

The app offers a variety of relationship-focused lessons and exercises created by experts.
