This time, I’m here to talk about what candle brings to my relationship and what it could bring! So far it’s. Helped me and my long distance girlfriend communicate so well, the questions are super creative and the variety allows us to always have something to talk about or to learn about each other which I think is great. I think the game section is a little overrated reason being is because games are so easily accessible on phones nowadays that you can play together that it almost feels a little pointless. It’s still a nice feature to have though What should definitely be added though is these few things: - Video Vlogging: being able to send 30 second videos perhaps once a day or a few times a day to vlog about how your day has gone so far maybe even once a night to give your partner an overview of your day - Advanced Canvas: the canvas is easily the most used tool in my opinion I think of it as an opportunity to showcase my creativity and what I’m thinking at the time. More tools like a filler, outline, larger colour hex, different brush styles would be such a game changer and would allow for even more creative and innovative ideas - voice notes: a critical one I believe especially when messaging it adds and extra personal touch when talking to your partner - timelines: a timeline would be a new tool / feature that you and your partner can use to create an almost memory book of everything that has happened while being away with each other given you the opportunity to look back on all of these things and it adds a big personal touch to the app Overall this app is great I really do love it and I hope others can learn to love it and find the support they need from it in their relationship too !
Exceptional app

Me and my partner started using this when we started long distance from the UK to New Zealand. We were figuring out how to enjoy our time together and I came across this. This app has allowed us to answer questions which would normally require a lot of conversation to get too however we didn’t have that time due to time zones. It has allowed us to connect on a much deeper level and I thank the developers for that. Thank you very much for helping our enjoyment of long distance. I still have another 6 months until I see the love of my life. And for a word of improvement. A setting where every question is randomised would be pretty cool. As we spend half the time figuring out what we want to talkAbout.
Best game/social for couples

This app is amazing for me and my girlfriend we use it day to day even if we don’t do the questions we love playing the games it’s so good for conversation starters and we use the canvas a lot to draw each other pictures. The only reason I might give it it 4* is that it’s new and has a lot of progress still and can’t wait to see what they bring out. Saying that I would love to see other features like zooming on the canvas to make my pictures better or even a drawing game (like Pictionary) maybe a status updater so we can see what we are both up to without asking maybe even story’s for just us that save I have many more ideas but so far this app is amazing keep it up!!!
BEST APP EVER

Me and my long distance boyfriend have been using this app RELIGIOUSLY until we next see eachother to spice up or time and add some excitement. Rather than the same boring conversations we spend so long laughing, debating and just having a good time with the candle questions and the fun mini games. we especially love the canvas and the thumb kiss because it brings that extra level of connection even on the worst days and always makes us happy. we fully believe this app has made us closer as a couple and we recommend!! also a big thank you to the team at candle who are so accommodating and helpful and they are just awesome thank you so much guys
