It helps you record sexual encounters clearly and flexibly, capturing the details that matter to you without forcing labels or assumptions. Your history stays organized, searchable, and entirely under your control, so you can make more informed decisions without relying on memory alone. Beyond encounters, Bigger Blacker Book helps you manage your sexual health over time. You can track STI screenings, medications, and reminders, keeping everything in one secure place. Optional features let you share status information when you choose, while keeping your data private by default. Originally built to serve queer communities and informed by lived experience, Bigger Blacker Book is designed for anyone who values honesty, autonomy, and better tools for managing their sexual health — without judgment, gamification, or pressure. See our EULA (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/), Privacy Policy, and Terms of Use on our website or in the app. Your data belongs to you. Nothing is shared unless you decide it should be.

The clearest difference is rating: LoveLust at 4.5 against Bigger Blacker Book's 1.5. LoveLust also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 38%) and ratings volume (56 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Bigger Blacker Book sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and LoveLust sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
LoveLust holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LoveLust has 56 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Bigger Blacker Book's written reviews are positive against 67% of LoveLust's.
Bigger Blacker Book ships an update every 2 weeks, LoveLust fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and July 24, 2026 respectively.
