This app has the perfect balance of topics to talk about. My boyfriend and I have been long distance dating because I go to college far away. This has helped us communicate about difficult topics when we are a part which makes it easier to get your point across in a tasteful way. We just never want to waste the precious time we do have together because we don’t see each other often. We don’t want to spend that time having tough conversations.
This app is also so good for long distance because it hits all of the love languages that you crave when you can’t always be with your partner. LOVE LOVE LOVE this app. I helps me learn something new about my partner every single day even though we’ve been together for 3 years!!
I got the app when my boyfriend and I were long distance and at the time it seemed really cool. But after a year of using it we’ve both noticed a couple things. First of all, there’s a lot of repetition in the questions, it gets tiring answering the same question in different wording all the time. Second, there seems to be a lack of inclusion in the app. We’ve noticed that so many of the questions are a.) directed at straight couples and b.) directed at straight couples with money. Not all the questions are like this but there are still plenty that will ask things about travel experiences and such and they’re hard to answer when you’ve barely been out of your hometown. One or two of the questions wouldn’t be so bad but again, there’s a LOT of repetition. It seems like an app not designed for long term use nor a safe space for queer couples.
I have quit a bit to say about this app, personally I think it’s an amazing app, the beginning when you open the app ur greeted with a Greek word which I think is a lovely touch. It’s perfectly structured also, you have a lot of things you can do on the app, even though you have to pay for extra feature just being able to talk to my boyfriend while I’m not with him is already enough for me. I recommend this app for any couple who wants to learn more about each other but too afraid to ask them directly, and it only takes a few minutes to answer each question, and each question is never the same and each is unique.
I was looking for a way for my girlfriend and I to ask each other questions regularly. We looked around and found this gem. This app is everything I could have asked for. We have been doing it everyday for 22 days now and I love it so much. We’ve had so many sweet conversations through just this app. It’s an opportunity for each of us to say something special about each other. It also challenges us in many areas too. One of the question categories is conflict and it’s always a little uncomfortable answering those but it’s helped me to be more compassionate.
Couldn’t recommend this app enough, we just upgraded to premium because it’s literally only $20 for the whole year and your partner gets it for free so that’s $10 a person for the year which is crazy reasonable
My partner and I have discussed the idea of premarital counseling, and admittedly, therapy, throughout our relationship. We found this and honestly it has been extremely impactful and has been a priceless tool to strengthen and focus our relationship. The free version is amazing, but I will say we greatly benefit from the paid version and it is well worth it. The diverse topics help you get to know each other on so many levels, and improves communication, vulnerability, and navigating healthy relationships (including with yourself!). We prefer to keep one prompt a day as a streak, but you can do this as often or occasionally as you please.
Before I say anything, I think agape is an incredible app for everyone, there are so many meaningful conversations to be had because of this app and its fun going through so many of their questions (which there are a LOT of). However, I use this with my boyfriend, and it’s really frustrating when I see an important to talk about topic section like “Engagement”, however most of the best questions/most beneficial ones are for premium only. Not to mention, literally all of the questions about you know what are all premium only. It seems like a money gouge to me at that point. They should free at least SOME of the sections about you know what up, alone with many others. I was pretty disappointed so, 3/5 stars for now. Maybe this will change some day :/
I’ve been using Agape almost daily for the better part of a year with my partner. Having the streak end is the worst part of using the app - it makes me feel so guilty for having a few ultra busy days. I wish there was a way to opt in / out of partaking in the streak. I know we can restore it once a month and my partner and I have a really great routine with agape doing it together often right as we wake up or before bed, but I cannot control when a month is especially hectic with work. I don’t know if it is possible to make something like a streak opt in, but I would love that.
Outside of that we love the app. We have meetings every Sunday to get ready for the upcoming week and we always go over our Agape responses if we haven’t already.
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.

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.comMy relationship took a couple steps back & then your app came across my social media, and I fell in love with the concept. We already do monthly “check-ins” but upon that, I happened to find that we would just pent up all our highs & lows & throw it up at one moment instead speaking when the feeling occurred.
The only feedback is that to possibly put a voice memo option when replying to the prompts. Some people don’t like to type. Others, like myself, like to hear it physically coming from the mouth of our partners and I feel like this can elevate the app as my partner and I use the prompts as a reference to remind us of why we are with one another during times when we are both not at our best.
This app is wildly insightful if you have a partner who wants to improve or strengthen your relationship. I started paying for premium immediately because we could see the value. It’s been 3 weeks and we’ve learned an immense amount about each other and used it as a springboard for more intense in person questions. My issue is with the app organization. I added my best friend who moved about 6 hours away and there is no clear distinction between the “connections” and all the answers are jumbled together. It’s super irritating and cluttered especially if you are trying to mix friends/partner connections. I’ve clicked around in the app and I can’t figure out a way to toggle. PLEASE agape, figure out a way to keep connections completely separate or have like a side pop where you can sort by connection.

Hi there! You can sort by connections, it’s the filter icon by the word Scrapbook. Enjoy ❤️
