Agapé: Feel Close When Apart 17+

Can’t recommend this app ENOUGH!!!

One of the best things to come out of TikTok. This app is a goldmine for couples, no matter WHAT stage you’re in. Not only is it something sweet for those of you who are in the Honeymoon phase and want to get to know each other (good for y’all😉) It’s also very useful for folks that have been with their partner for a considerable amount of time and sometimes scramble to find new things to talk about (no shame in it!!) Even if you and your significant other find yourselves butting heads more than usual, have no fear, because Agapé also has an ENTIRE SECTION dedicated to unpacking your intentions and emotions with your partner. The crazy part is that this is the FREE VERSION I’m talking about!!! Zero Dollars to take steps to knowing your significant other inside and out. For those of you who want to know your partner deeply, who find simple and mundane details about your partner just as beautiful as the complex, stop reading and HIT THAT INSTALL BUTTON 🥹

Not as good as reviews say

There are many things I like about this app. Such as the whole premise, the actual good questions, and a few of the premium features.

The problems start with the paywall. If you and your partner want access to change the questions, personalize them, or just have access to the other topics then you’re going to cough up $50. They even try to deceive you a little by dumbing down the price by saying 2.08 $ per person, per month. That is just done to trick you into thinking its cheap by that logic and to sway you into buying it.

After the paywall there are the trash questions. (Which i paid for) There are questions that aren’t insightful, questions that are boring, and essentially plagued with repeat but reworded questions. Over time my girlfriend and I started using the app less and less because we had answered so many questions and we didn’t even reach 1 year before we decided we no longer wanted to use the app. Which brings me to say that the app has poor longevity for couples who are just dating. After a brief discussion, we both ruled that it was because of a few factors, the lack of good questions, we had answered nearly all the ones we wanted, and there were too many questions that we felt were just bad. If I didn’t pay for premium I’m sure we would of stopped using the app way sooner than we did.

Developer Response ,

Kadie here, I’m the founder of Agapé. I’d love to talk to you more about your experience. If you could please send me an email I’d greatly appreciate it: kadie@theagapeapp.com

One of our biggest focuses for the next year is personalization, which as you can imagine is a tricky problem to solve given the diversity of preferences all of our users have. Some people LOVE serious deep, questions and want their Agapé experience to be entirely that. While others want Agapé to be more playful and casual. Our database of questions reflects this diversity of preference, but the challenge is in making sure users really only see what they like and care about. I want to get this right, so I would really appreciate the opportunity to talk with you further! Again, I can be reached at kadie@theagapeapp.com

Works when you both make it work

Just like the relationship itself, the app really works well when you both invest into it. The prompts have really good insight into yourself and the relationship; the fact you can’t see your partner’s answer until you send in yours is good too. Being able to go back through answers and also share memories is a good touch. The free version has a lot of good prompts, and the paid version is great for specific topics and dives in deep with those. Being in an LDR, this gives us things to talk about that happen in our daily lives that we don’t normally think about, and having conversations about those things brings a different spark into our dynamic. Both partners have to use it honestly and give the same effort to make it fruitful, and it builds investment. It’s a fantastic step for relationship health (NOT a tool for therapy)!
