Hi, Thank you for your comment, regarding the Data Laws in France, they require a datasheet of encryption for Apple Appstore, something our team have never made before. Otherwise the data law is the same, yes. Any tips are welcome.

If your application doesn’t implement custom encryption code (which it probably does not) you can just check the "None" option, even if your app does use encryption (which it probably does if you are using https for example). As long as your app is not providing an encryption algorithm, you are fine ignoring this. It’s also fine if you do use encryption with the Apple provided libraries since in this case you are not…

Thank you so much for taking your time to write this in-depth comment! Based on advice from you, and others, the app is now launched in EU (incl. France), US, Canada, and UK on both Andriod and iOS. Thx!

In the UK. Installed the app on Android but it seems to require a photo with no way of setting a photo. Tapping the camera icon does nothing.

Crap. I will get right on that. Thanks!!

Thanks!

The idea is very nice and the app seems good enough for what it is, but having to also create an account on my partner's phone and connecting with them defeats the whole purpose for me. I want to surprise them, not let them know that I installed an app, which they have to create an account for and connect to me, to surprise them. I guess that the idea is to connect the personality test results between partners to fin…

Yeah doesn’t that defeat the unpredictability goal?

Datamining, don't use

Harsh untrue comment. I'm rn creating an anonymous guest user signin option. Don't assume the worst just because you can.

It's datamining until you add the guest option. Why did you think collecting that much data was necessary in the first place?

Hi the two of you, Thanks for commenting! Yes that is the general idea with the connection, but based on feedback i have removed the partner-limits. In addition i am also created a guest login (which works for most features), and many more changes based on the feedback from you folks in hacker news. No profile picture requirement anymore etc. etc. The update should be out very soon, I just gotta test everything works.

Yeah what I want from a partner is unpredictability.

Probably surprise flowers, not surprise career change.

Haha yes precisely. Fun exciting surprises, not life altering surprises ;)

The guest option will be out soon (max 2 days, i hope). I have just developed it yesterday/today.

Why did i choose it: I simply did a little less than what my other couples apps do, and where I'm from this amount of information is not considered a lot. In Sweden everything is public. Everything, as in everything: salary, address, phone number, car etc. (this is by law) So for me and my many Scandinavian test users, no-one cared. But now i see the feedback, and I am working fast to take the feedback and create a good experience with just a guest account.

If you have anymore feedback let me know, I will be sure to listen!

This is reasonable, I didn't think about it this way. Wild it's less than what other apps take. I'll sure try the app once the guest option is implemented

Why need a login/account at all? What core functionality actually requires a server to be involved, from your point of view?

What we've seen again and again is apparently well-intended founders who say something like this.

Fast-forward a few years and for whatever reasons, the company transitions ownership, and the founder and original team are out of the decision-making loop. After which the already-gathered data gets increasingly exploited and the gathering of data from users expands, contrary to promises and intents of the founder.

By being stricter in your original implementation and application architecture as can be observed externally and from the point of view of the client, you make it harder to for silently break user trust without a way for users to detect it.
