**Never miss a chance for romance** *Increase your relationship's sexual intensity Most couples don’t initiate as often as they could be - either for fear of rejection or for not wanting to place too much pressure on their partner. LoveSync removes these barriers and lets couples realize their true sexual potential by allowing communication about sex & intimacy through a simple and private press of a button. How it Works: In the mood for sex?? You privately tap your LoveSync app. If your partner has also tapped their app, your moods are matched! You’re both notified it’s sexy time!! Don’t hold back - tap EVERY time you’re feeling even a little frisky, YOUR PARTNER WILL ONLY KNOW YOUR DESIRE IF THEIR DESIRE IS THE SAME!! “LoveSync… It’s like Tinder for couples” -- Stephen Colbert, The Late Show Introducing LoveSync Plus featuring: Even more opportunities to connect with a longer sync window - up to 12 hours instead of 8! Sometimes you only have time for a quickie, but other times you’re ready to go all night long. With LoveSync Plus you can pick the time you’re up for having some fun, from 15 minutes to 12 hours. Private messaging - send your partner some love. Choose from preloaded messages or write a custom note to let your partner know what you’re thinking. ;) It’s always private, not mixed in with your other messaging apps and can only be viewed in the LoveSync app. Sync Score - get more in-sync with your partner! Use your sync score as a guide to understanding each other’s desires and what you can do to be more aligned. Low sync score? Maybe it’s because you’re tapping in the morning and your partner in the evening. Your sync score gives insight into how well you and your partner’s desires are matching up, inspiring conversations to enhance your relationship!
