Cute Idea! the local things to do section is very limited and only allows you to refresh 3 times until the app freezes or it decides not to work. I hope these fixes are addressed, I'd love to use this more! edit: the team rescheduled out and helped fix the issues. awesome response!

Hi Tanner. thank you for your feedback! Really sorry to hear that you've been experiencing some trouble with the photo questions - sometimes, this issue can be linked to network connectivity (try switching over to mobile data and see if that fixes it!) As for the date ideas, we'd love to hear more, could you email us at candleappteam@gmail.com?

While signing up, I can't get past the profile picture upload, the app keeps closing if I try to upload a picture and there is no option to skip that part and come back to it later Update: Thank you for your response but I did what you suggested and switched not only to mobile network but also other networks but the issue still persists.

Very nice app and it sure gives us questions which help me to get closer with my partner. I would just say that if the chats get improved like being able to reply to certain messages so whenever we speak it's more clear to what we are texting back to and adding more reactions to texts.
