It was alright while it lasted I guess. Got this when it first started, my partner was really excited about it. It was fun for a while, then it needed an update every day while also introducing a paywall after so many questions. It's not worth the money, not when you can just Google questions to ask your partner. Plus, this way you won't get "What's a question *you* want to ask them!" every other day. There's a lot of useless features that would make for a good free version without them.

Hi Andrew, thank you for your feedback - we've been pushing a lot of updates to improve the overall functionality of the app and apologize if it's been more frequent lately. We'd love to learn how we can make the experience better for you and your partner, could you send us an email at [email protected]? We'd be very appreciative.

The questions are thought-provoking and good conversation starters, and the layout of the app is intuitive. The amount of features included in the free version is very reasonable. However, I have one critique: once a conversation is started, the text response box is only one line of text thick, which makes it really difficult to proofread or edit what you have typed

I've been really enjoying these daily rituals with my partner 🙏 Thoughtful app. I wish there was an option for the notifications to be acute/noticeable for the thumb thing, i.e. it makes the phone vibrate every time the other person presses edit: It won't let me reply, but yes, when the app isn't active. You could toggle this on/off in settings if it's annoying or drains battery maybe?

Thank you so much for the kind words Fabian! We're glad Candle has been able to add to your daily ritual. For the thumb kiss, right now your partner's phone should vibrate if they have the app open! Or do you mean you'd like to have your partner's phone vibrate even if they have the app closed? We'd love to hear more: www.reddit.com/r/candleapp
