I am not even going to be cordial about it, navigating long-distance relationships is tough. There will be periods you would miss your partner terribly and need physical touch or even someone to ‘Netflix and chill’ with. Also, there are going to be days you will remember fun memories you guys shared and start reconsidering why you agreed to the distance. Having been there, I understand your plight. This is why I have decided to share the top 10 apps for long distance couples.
When couples are considering going long distances, they have to ensure that they have strong communication so that the distance will not build up a barrier between them.
Luckily for them, technology has tremendously helped in connecting and making communication easier between them.
Best Free Apps for Long Distance Couples
I have compiled a list of the best apps for long distance couples that will keep your relationship strong and exciting.
Although these apps have their specific cons, they work perfectly in keeping your love alive and enthralling even across different time zones.
- Social Media Platforms Owned by Facebook
The chat and video calling features of Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp should be your go-to apps when you want to share interesting content with your significant other.
These apps are your best options if you want an all-in-one place where there a wide array of features. They allow document sharing, video and voice chat, and are mobile, web, and desktop compatible. All you need to do is pick a date night and chat away.
- Couplete
The Couplete app is one of the best apps for long distance couples who are adventurous and want to explore new activities even though they are miles apart from each other. For people who have places they will love to go on a vacation together, this app will help in creating wish lists and amazing ideas for the trip to help ease the burden of not being together
Snapchat is great for sharing snaps and short messages during the day. Due to its destructive messages and disappearing stories, it gives a ‘real-life’ feel to the couples. To spice things up in your relationship, the recent update allows users in the United States to send money to their friends.
- Telegram
Telegram is a cloud-based messaging app that’s becoming popular due to its tight security measures in place. This free app offers secured encryption and privacy protocols. Also, it is among one of the best messaging platforms as it has the saved messages feature which allows you to return to conversations for future references.
Anyone who has ever been in a long-distance relationship knows that it requires creativity to maintain intimacy and emotional connection between two people. We-Connect allows couples to be intimate even though they are miles apart. Using compatible vibrators or sex toys with their app, you can create pleasure with your partner and ease sexual frustration. All you need to do is ensure both of you have the most recent version of the We-Connect app installed on your smartphone and are paired with one another.
Fun Game Apps for Long Distance Couples in Long Distance Relationships
It seems there are game apps for just about anything, including to create fun and strengthen your relationship.
- Honi- Game for Couples
Honi is an exciting game for long distance couples/relationships. It centers around thousands of dares and challenges you will have to complete to surprise your partner. For a unique date night experience, the app allows you to create your dares, and ask questions to get to know each other better.
Honi allows you to make every day with your partner an adventure, as it gives updates on how to make a distance relationship work.
- Happy Couple
The Happy Couple app is a game app that is available for download on both ios and Android devices. Each day, it allows couples to uses quiz-style on six topics; “sex,” “responsibilities,” “communication,” “recreation,” “emotional” and “information.” to learn more about each other. It’s a great way to spend time with your partner and learn new things.
Card decks have been around for quite a while. The Gottman Card Decks game has the potential to improve your relationship as it is made from research-based models. The cards are unique as it helps couples ask questions you normally would not find yourself asking. The 14 decks and over 1000 cards game, is designed to work through the loneliness and emotions people separated by distance feel. The game, which is available on both Android and Apple is one of the several ways couples reconnect and express their needs in a distance-factored relationship, especially in our currently overwhelming world.
iPassion is a trivia game with a twist—like its name, all the questions are intimate. The game allows you and your partner to explore your sexual preferences, turn-ons, and dislikes. This is a great game to download, as it is hard to get intimate in a long-distance relationship. Also, you can make the game more fun by ‘cashing in’ on wrong guesses when the other person least expects it. The app is available on both Android and iOS devices.
- Truth or Dare: Dirty Party!
This is a very simple and fun app that combines all the dares from other apps incorporate, with truth questions into their database. The great thing about this app is that it was developed with every type of couple in mind. You can select from four levels—classic, dirty, couple, and hardcore, depending on how long the relationship is and you guys are comfortable with each other. I’m so upset that this entertaining game is only available for download on iOS.
Downloading apps for long distance couples are really helpful in enriching your relationship as it enhances the connection but note that it is not for everyone. Before using any of these apps, have an honest conversation with your partner, and focus on the long term effect it will have in your union.
