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!

I'm going to make a penis-kissing app

That exists; it is called Grinder.

Sounds like exactly the same thing as the South Korean produced 'Between' app, which is already cross platform. Not to say that they couldn't execute better, but it's not a novel idea. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kr.co.vcnc.and... http://itunes.apple.com/app/id458035189?mt=8

And regardless, I'm sure the creators will be interested to learn from related experiments.

We're working furiously fast to have Android ready ASAP. It's only a few weeks behind and is almost done. This is right now our #1 request, cross-platform relationships are in these days!

Hm, you did realize that the comment sounded very much as being sarcastic, did you?

Call 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…

Agreed, but then there are those of us who formed solid, committed relationships before we had to or have to move and want to keep them alive. Even being on the other side of the same state from your fiancee is painful, man!

It was definitely not meant to be sarcastic :) we actually do have Android very close to being done and soon Pair will be cross platform! Sorry for any confusion :)

Are they planning to introduce a pro version of the application? Some multitenant upgrade? It could apply advanced machine learning techniques to identify which of your girlfriends/spouses is using the phone and hide all the other communication. Not that I would need it, but it could significantly lower the divorce rates :)

Nice idea. Some form of "relationship manager", that keeps track for each "client" of the different stories.
