Oh my god, thumbkissing. "A feature called 'thumbkissing' shows your partners thumbprints whenever they’re touching the screen, and both phones will vibrate if your thumbs are on the same place." This is clearly the best YC startup ever. Hurry up on the Android app for those of us in mixed relationships!

#12Call me old school but I'd rather find someone who lives in the same city than try to maintain a relationship through an app. If you absolutely need to stay in touch with someone every minute of everyday it's probably better to just move. The solution to working too much to be in touch with the partner you really care about is not an app, it's telling your boss to shove the job up his ass. That said, I doubt there wi…

#13I wonder how they're going to handle migration between relationships.

Besides, I don't think this is /exclusively/ for long distance relationships. I'm sure there are some couples not in a long distance situation that would enjoy this.

This app, or one like it, will be huge.

I'm going to make a penis-kissing app

#18But my cofounder Sri and I downloaded it and started playing together. Few minutes in we were giggling like children and I now see the value in Pair.
It's perfect for those serious couples with useful features like task lists, built-in Facetime, ability to show "where you are" etc.
Good job!

#19- Text her a random emoji
- Email her an image I've found (usually using our app Prism http://www.steamclocksw.com/prism/)

The point is to send a "unit of thinking about you" that's simple but unique enough that it's not mechanical (like a "poke" would be). Pair seems like it could bring this little habit to more relationships, or at least displace text and email for those who do this.

#20On a more serious note, the shared todo list is great! No doubt a lot of other apps have this but with chat, photo sharing, Facetime, and thumbkisses, this makes Pair an awesome app. I would've easily bought this for $2-4/user.
