Great Apps for Couples

Technology has changed the way people find love, with scores of dating sites catering to people of all backgrounds and interests. But what happens once you’ve met that special someone and embark on a relationship? Well, fear not, couples: There are some apps and sites for you, too. Here are three of the best: Couple One of the industry’s leading “couples” apps, Couple lets your and your partner share private messages, photos, videos, sketches, schedules, and even digital “ThumbKisses,” which just may be the next-best thing to an actual kiss if you’re in a long-distance relationship (plus, it’s far more sanitary than kissing your screen). iPhone and Android - Free Between If privacy is what you’re looking for in an app, then Between may be the one for you. Couples can share private chat sessions, private photo albums, and can even set a lock to keep the contents of the app safe in case your phone is lost or stolen. iPhone and Android - Free Spreadsheets Not for the faint of heart, this app helps couples keep track of their sex lives, offering points as incentive for various “achievements.” You’ll definitely want to consult with your partner before downloading to make sure they’re also on board. It’s certainly not for everybody, but there’s also nothing else quite like it. iPhone - $1.99
