Getting started & connecting
What is Lovestruck?
Lovestruck is a private app for two people in a relationship. It is not a chat app. It gives you small, daily ways to stay close: pings, a daily question, love notes, date ideas, time capsules and a shared timeline.
Is Lovestruck free? Which phones does it work on?
Yes. Lovestruck is free to download on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android. Premium is optional.
The app is in English only for now.
How do I sign up?
You can sign up with Apple, Google, or an email and password.
How do I connect with my partner?
Go to Settings and tap "Connect with partner".
One of you taps "Create invite" and shares the 6-character code. The other taps "Join with code", enters the code, and taps "Connect".
My invite code doesn't work.
Invite codes expire after 24 hours. If yours has expired, create a new invite and share the new code. Check that the code was typed exactly as shown.
Can I use the app before my partner joins?
Yes. Tap "Explore while you wait" to look around. Anything you save carries over once your partner connects.
What are the tabs in the app?
Once you are connected, you will see five tabs: Home, Dates, Pings, Timeline and Us.
How do I disconnect from my partner?
There is no disconnect button in the app. Email us at team@lovestruckapp.com and we will help. You can also delete your account from Settings.
Pings
What is a ping?
A ping is a one-tap signal to your partner, like "thinking of you". It is a quick way to say you care without starting a conversation.
How many pings can I send?
On the free plan you can send 10 pings a day, with a 5-second wait between pings. Answering the daily question gives you 2 bonus pings that day.
With Premium, pings are unlimited, there is no wait, and you can create custom pings.
Daily questions
How does the daily question work?
Every day at midnight your local time, you get a new question or poll. You each answer on your own. Once you have both answered, you can see each other's answers. With polls, you can see if your answers match.
Can I change my answer?
No. Answers can't be edited once you send them.
Can I get only polls?
Yes. Go to Settings > Couple and turn off "Text questions". You will then only get polls.
Love notes & widgets
What is a love note?
A love note is a short message to your partner, up to 30 characters. It arrives with a special animation.
How many love notes can I send?
On the free plan you can send 1 love note every 24 hours. Premium lets you send as many as you like.
Can I delete a love note?
No. Love notes can't be deleted once they are sent.
How do I add the Love Notes widget?
The Love Notes widget shows your partner's latest note. You can add it to your home screen on iPhone and Android. On iPhone, you can also add it to your Lock Screen.
Timeline, photos & songs
What is the timeline?
The timeline is a private feed just for the two of you. It shows your pings, answers, love notes, photos, songs and completed dates.
Can we share photos and songs?
Yes. You can share photos and react or comment on them. You can also share songs with each other. You can delete any photo or song you posted.
Are there limits on photos and history?
On the free plan, each of you can upload 5 photos, and you can view the last 24 hours or the last 7 days of your timeline.
Premium gives you unlimited photos and lets you view the last 30 days or a custom date range.
Dates
How do date ideas work?
Swipe right to save an idea, swipe left to skip it, or swipe up to save it as a surprise.
Categories include Restaurants, Bars, Cafés, Activities, Outdoors, At Home and Long Distance. Shows and Live events appear where local event listings are available. No category is locked behind Premium.
How do I set my location?
Tap the location chip in Date Ideas. You can use your phone's location or pick a city. Your location is only used to find date ideas.
How do I plan a saved date or add my own idea?
Open Saved Dates and tap an idea, then tap "Plan this date". To add your own idea, tap the + button.
What are surprise dates?
Swipe up on an idea to save it as a surprise. You can give your partner up to 5 hints, and reveal the surprise whenever you like.
What is a personalized date plan?
A personalized date plan curated by Lovestruck is a full date put together for the two of you.
On the free plan you can preview a plan and see the first stop. Premium gives you 1 full plan per week, with a few edits. Max gives you unlimited plans and edits.
Are there limits on swipes, saves and surprises?
The free plan has daily limits on swipes and saves, and a small number of surprise dates. Premium removes these limits. The app always shows your current limits.
How big can our bucket list be?
Free couples can add 5 bucket list items. Premium raises this to 50.
Time capsules
How do time capsules work?
A time capsule is something you fill together and open later. Add love letters, photos and songs, and pick an opening date up to 10 years away.
When you are both done, each of you locks the capsule to seal it. On the opening date, you open it together.
What can I add on the free plan?
On the free plan you can have 1 capsule in progress, with 1 note, 1 photo and 1 song from each of you. Premium lets you have several capsules with unlimited items.
Streaks & relationship growth
How does the streak work?
Your streak grows each day you both use the app. That can be answering the daily question, sending a ping, sharing a photo or song, sending a love note, adding to a time capsule, or planning a date.
If either of you misses a day, the streak starts over.
What is relationship growth?
Relationship growth shows how your shared activity adds up over time. Doing things together earns points, and you move through six stages: Spark, Flame, Bonfire, Inferno, Supernova and Eternal.
Tap the progress bar on Home to see all the stages.
What does the Us tab show?
The Us tab shows your streak, your relationship growth stage, and what each of you has contributed.
What else can we do together?
Move together lets you set a shared fitness goal, log workouts, and cheer each other on.
You can also reorder the cards on Home in Settings, and choose which notifications you get in Settings > Notifications.
Premium & billing
What do Premium and Max include?
Premium gives you unlimited pings, love notes, photos, swipes, saves and time capsules, longer timeline history, custom pings, and 1 full personalized date plan per week.
Max includes everything in Premium, plus unlimited personalized date plans and edits.
Do we both need to subscribe?
No. One subscription covers both of you.
How much does it cost?
Prices depend on your country and app store. You can see the current prices on the Premium screen in the app. Plans are monthly or yearly, and some stores also offer weekly.
Is there a free trial?
A free trial may be offered. If you are eligible, the app will show it on the Premium screen.
