Just Between Us is a fun & flirty chat app for couples that want to keep the spark alive and ensure their messages (and photos) STAY PRIVATE. We've all been there before: thinking that we were sending our spouse a sexy text only to have our 9 year old reply! Or even worse, sending a flirty personal text to the WRONG person! Just Between Us lets you send Intimate Photos, Flirty Texts, Romantic Invites, Conversation Starters and even Thumb Kisses to your partner without the fear of your kids accidentally finding them first. The app is password protected so you can feel confident knowing that no one else will accidentally stumble across your personal conversations or photos. Communicating with your lover with Just Between Us is double encrypted so that no one else (not even the app programmers) can see or read your messages! It ONLY works with the one person that you're synced with, and you can rest assured that your messages are truly secure. Just Between Us voluntarily had their code audited by a 3rd security company to triple check that it couldn't be hacked. It truly is a safe and secure way to connect remotely with your lover! How It Works: 1. Download the app and set up your free account. 2. Invite your sweetheart to do the same. 3. Share your unique sync code with him or her. 4. Instantly send messages and photos to each other that no one else will see. With Just Between Us, you’ll enjoy more flirting, more fun, and a deeper intimate connection with your sweetheart, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your messages will only be seen by one person... your partner! You’ll avoid the embarrassment of accidentally sending an intimate message to the wrong person, or wondering if someone else is also enjoying your sexy texts. So send that tantalizing text and share that flashy photo ;-) Just Between Us has got you covered! About In-app Purchases This app is free to download and use right away.
