Shoutout to Fluent Emoji for the base icons!
My partner and I love this app! The core features of the Canvas + Thumb Kiss make this app special for us, and it makes the app so important in our relationship as it provides consistency even when we aren’t able to meet up in person. I appreciate the development going on behind the scenes to make Candle more engaging through mini games, questions and UI improvements. I’m keen to see more features rolled out that allow for some flexibility around the day-to-day dynamics of a relationship. Overall, would highly recommend to all couples to keep things fun ☺️
Best thing to survive long distance!

My partner and I have upgraded to a premium version of the app, because we loved it so much. It helps us to stay connected while doing long distance. The team behind the app is also amazing and very helpful, assisting me in restoring my access when I accidentally got logged out pretty much immediately. I recommend getting the premium version - heaps of new questions get added all the time, new games and ways to connect. Definitely adds playfulness and meaning to our daily chats :)
great for FIFO
lunickname
me and my boyfriend have been struggling with connection after he started FIFO with only a short amount of time to get a “how was your day” in, but this has given us the ability to answer questions and connect in our own time when we are available i love it! please add a feature where you can add a song so i can share a song that’s been stuck in my head that day or something along the lines of that :) thank you
We love this app

My partner and I love this app, we use it everyday. I recently got my friend and her partner hooked too, she said it has deepened their understanding of each other. The developers are super engaged - they post and answer questions regularly on the candle subreddit. And the app is constantly being updated with new questions, features and fixes. I never review apps but felt the need to for this one, very well done.

- Introducing Memories! Revisit your shared journey in a beautiful calendar of photos, challenges, dates, and moments together
