Edit: hey I haven’t got a response back yet and it’s really frustrating because I can’t pair with my partner with the same code. Idk how it happened but it’s really sad please respond

Best thing to survive long distance!

My partner and I have upgraded to a premium version of the app, because we loved it so much. It helps us to stay connected while doing long distance. The team behind the app is also amazing and very helpful, assisting me in restoring my access when I accidentally got logged out pretty much immediately. I recommend getting the premium version - heaps of new questions get added all the time, new games and ways to connect. Definitely adds playfulness and meaning to our daily chats :)

Good app

Great app to use for LDR, wish it had some smaller features though, specially one of the widgets has miles on the distance, NOT every country use miles

2025-12-31

Free candle app is just a free trial

My partner and I loved this app and answering questions. We got up to a thirty day streak only to be rewarded with a pay wall for more questions. This app is not about love, only about lining the creators pockets with money. Don't get it, I'm very disappointed

Great app for our LDR

Shoutout to the wizards behind this app! My partner and I started our LDR a couple months ago and I can honestly say this has been such a great thing to look forward to everyday to help us feel more connected and closer, despite the distance.

Thanks team Candle :)

Big ups

BEST APP EVER

This app has made me and my partner significantly more connected!! We love this app. It’s now apart of our nightly routine.

2025-10-27

i truly recommend to all couples

my partner and i have been using candle as part of our nightly routine for months now, and i absolutely can’t recommend it enough. it just makes communication easier and less confrontational, but also is a nice space to get to appreciate the little things my partner does. it’s nice to read some cute words before bed, and have meaningful discussions. seriously can’t recommend it enough, great app.

Bugs and glitches

Overall an awesome app, however theres alot of kinks to be ironed out, basic functionality like pressing the “tick button” after answering a question, sometimes takes 10 times to press before it works, often times not working at all. The camera button, the photo upload button, all the buttons seem to have a painfully slow response, my app is always kept up to date. Would be awesome to see the functionality improved.

2025-10-10

We love this app

My partner and I love this app, we use it everyday. I recently got my friend and her partner hooked too, she said it has deepened their understanding of each other. The developers are super engaged - they post and answer questions regularly on the candle subreddit. And the app is constantly being updated with new questions, features and fixes. I never review apps but felt the need to for this one, very well done.

2025-10-06

Great app but nothing works after IOS 26 update

The app continuously crashes after the new IOS update. Earlier it was a great app to keep in touch with my LDR gf but since the new OS the app doesn’t even open.

2025-10-05

App keeps crashing

App doesn’t open ever and keeps crashing. Disappointing

Really fun app for all couples!

My partner and I love this app! The core features of the Canvas + Thumb Kiss make this app special for us, and it makes the app so important in our relationship as it provides consistency even when we aren’t able to meet up in person. I appreciate the development going on behind the scenes to make Candle more engaging through mini games, questions and UI improvements. I’m keen to see more features rolled out that allow for some flexibility around the day-to-day dynamics of a relationship. Overall, would highly recommend to all couples to keep things fun ☺️

great for FIFO

me and my boyfriend have been struggling with connection after he started FIFO with only a short amount of time to get a “how was your day” in, but this has given us the ability to answer questions and connect in our own time when we are available i love it! please add a feature where you can add a song so i can share a song that’s been stuck in my head that day or something along the lines of that :) thank you
