### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-17, version 1.8.13*

This is an awesome communication tool for me & my dominant/husband. It’s helped us greatly & I plan on continuing to use it.

### 4/5 — Communication

*2026-06-16, version 1.8.12*

It is a great communication tool to keep in touch throughout the day without having to be in “real time”. Each person can communicate with the other and when each is able, check in throughout the day, the communication is there.  It works great for us and is also a great place to have the rules listed, along with other information.

### 5/5 — A great contribution

*2026-06-02, version 1.8.11*

This app has been great for my sub and I to use for dynamic-specific journaling, to keep these entries organized in one place and track trends over time. We don't use the prompts very much, we just utilize it as a journal. It has become a valuable part of our practice of timely transparency, as we don't live together.

### 4/5 — A couple of needed fixes

*2026-04-30, version 1.8.9*

I’m enjoying this app! 

I have noticed a few editing functionality issues. When highlighting a section to correct, it doesn’t allow the user to select more than one word at a time (the blue dots at the beginning and end of the highlight disappear when trying to grab them to expand the highlight.)

When highlighting larger sections of text, there is a “select all” option but not a “select” option. So unless you’re deleting the entire entry, it’s impossible to edit smaller sections. (This is related to the first issue.)

Finally, the cursor doesn’t allow itself to be placed anywhere within the document unless you ‘hold and drag’ it. It would be more efficient if the cursor could just be moved to an area by a single tap - as it works on other texting or writing platforms. 

Is there a way to fix these things?

### 5/5 — Simple and Effective

*2026-03-12, version 1.8.8*

The app is very to use and serves its purpose well. There are a few enhancements that would make it even better but for the price, the current format is worth it.

### 4/5 — Langage

*2026-01-27*

When are you going to translate it in French ?

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! French is on our radar and we’ll keep it in mind for future updates!

### 5/5 — Staying Connected To One Another

*2025-10-12, version 1.7.13*

Love this app, it creates a safe place to write your feelings down. Allows you and your partner to feel and express emotions without being afraid of judgement

### 4/5 — Enjoying the Embrace

*2025-09-14, version 1.7.12*

Been enjoying the app with My sub, but there are some quirks that prevents Me to rate it higher.

### 5/5 — Great for communication!

*2025-09-12, version 1.7.12*

Great prompts!

### 5/5 — Love

*2025-09-11, version 1.7.12*

I love this app bc it shows how much my bf how much I love him and care for him and he see everything that goes on it my crazy head lol. So it makes out relationship stronger. So I think whoever made this app.
