### 5/5 — Super useful

*2024-12-21*

Both my partner and i found the app easy to use and, more importantly, conducive to healthier communication and healthier relationship. Thanks!

### 5/5 — transformative couples therapy app

*2024-12-20*

I am amazed by how effective this app is for virtual couples therapy. It’s easy to use, and the sessions feel just as impactful as seeing a licensed therapist in person. The flexibility to schedule therapy anytime and the AI’s ability to remember past sessions makes it feel personal and tailored. It’s been a game-changer for our relationship—I highly recommend it to any couple!

### 5/5 — Maxine is my girl

### 4/5 — Good!

*2025-09-11*

I do like this app and would say that there is sadly not a lot out there like it - but I’m considering cancelling my subscription because I feel that the price is just far too high for what it actually does. Like all ai based products, it is not capable of being truly responsive, it has a basic routine for any given situation. In some ways, this is exactly what therapy is, and so that’s fine. But it can also make one feel, starkly, the absence of a real human. The app is also buggy. That’s to be expected, and since it provides a pretty valuable service not a huge deal. But there’s also this: to start a session you have to start an “individual session” and then announce to the ai that your partner is also there. It takes a solid 3 minutes for startup and imo an app that costs this much should be far more polished.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback and for giving CoupleWork a try. We truly appreciate you sharing both what you value and where you feel it falls short.

We hear you on pricing and polish. Sessions are already faster and more seamless - if you invite a partner, you can start a Partner session directly, and we’re continuing to refine that experience. This fall we’re releasing a major update with smoother performance, more flexible session options, and a new pricing model we hope will feel much more accessible.

We’re making Maxine more responsive and emotionally nuanced while keeping the structure that makes counseling effective. Soon you’ll also see richer voice interaction, remote partner sessions, text chat, and a host of new features designed to deepen the experience.

Thanks again for your honesty, it helps us keep building CoupleWork into something truly valuable for couples.

Warmly,
The CoupleWork Team

### 4/5 — Seems good but..

*2025-04-03*

why is there a male face and a female voice and you  can’t change any of it? Despite that it seems good during the first two sessions although the questions sometimes repeat or are answered very slowly

### 5/5 — Exceptional Therapeutic Resource

*2026-05-21*

CoupleWork is an awesome, easily accessible resource to provide couples or even friends an opportunity to get therapeutic help in a relaxed setting. To be to access a non biased mediator within seconds could completely change so many people’s relationships with others and themselves!

### 5/5 — Feels comfortable

*2026-05-11*

I think I get self conscious with an in person therapist but I feel pretty open talking with the AI.  And it’s not like talking to ChatGPT, it feels very geared towards therapy and doesn’t wander into anything other than that. It also seems to challenge me, which I like, offering real worlds tools, and strategies to deal with the subjects I bring up. Definitely makes me work!

### 5/5 — Great tool!

*2026-05-10*

Outstanding tool that is very intuitive! It really helped my wife and I open the door to conversations that would have been challenging to bring up otherwise.

### 5/5 — Maxine was designed with care!

*2026-05-07*

I feel so much closer to my partner. Our communication skills are growing and intimacy is deepening. Thank you for making couples counseling easily accessible ❤️

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-03-15*

It’s saved my marriage!

### 5/5 — Great product!

*2026-02-22*

It’s still only an early version and there are of course many additional features one could add, but it is already VERY helpful and if the team continues to build in this direction they will surely be helping many, many people. Thank you for doing this work!

### 5/5 — A remarkably wide and steady presence

*2025-05-23*

CoupleWork has offered me something rare: the ability to drop into real reflection at any hour, on anything from parenting dilemmas to friendship mess to tricky marriage dynamics. The therapist feels deeply human - warm, responsive, and steady - and brings a level of informed nuance that would be difficult to access in any other way. Her depth, range, and clarity continue to surprise me. This has become a steady part of how I move through complicated moments, and I’m so grateful it exists.

### 5/5 — Much needed support during the Holidays.

*2024-12-25*

There isn’t enough time in the day to take care of the things we need to do, never mind the things we should do. Having a therapist in your pocket is priceless. Even if it’s a tiny tiff with your partner, your parents (cuz they’re never overbearing🤯) or even your kids (who clearly speak a different language) it takes very little time to get the help and solve the tiff with ease. I think it’s a must for everyone. Even if you have a therapist you see on a regular basis. Having a therapist on demand in your pocket, like it said. It’s priceless. Thank you for making this app.
