Came across this on Instagram thru an ad by the devs. I've been using this for a few days now, everything works pretty well so far, some basic and some thought provoking simple but overall really good conversation starters. The paywall is there but not in your face or annoying so far. There's plenty to talk about and answer even tho I'm just using the free version, definitely recommend. I definitely wish there was a way to request data deletion for sure though.

My partner and I have loved the app so far but the complete and utter lack of a once off payment for the premium features is disgusting. having to pay an overly expensive yearly or weekly subscription for the full experience is really discouraging. The statement made by the developers of the free trial providing "300" questions is most likely false as when we got to 71 questions and it told us we only have 129 left which is really limited for a free trial. The greed is unacceptable.

Hi Alexander, we provide 200 random daily/fun questions, in addition to 4 free decks (around 30 questions each), which should give you ~3 months of free content if you answer 3 questions each day! Even after you reach the limit on the 200 daily questions, you can continue to use the app for free using our free limited tier :)

The app is wonderful. however the prices for the subscriptions seems too high. furthermore, I don't receive any vibrations for the application's notification which is weird. the thumb kiss doesn't work at all for my device for some reason. How do I get the canvas on my home screen like it happens for ios? I can't see any widget
