Everyone who's ever been into one will surely tell you that long-distance relationships are not easy. If you want yours to succeed, you must make sure that you keep the lines of communication open. The two of you must do whatever it takes in order to make your relationship work, and the most important is to communicate with each other. Luckily, technology is making things easier and nowadays there are endless ways to keep in touch with your partner, regardless of how apart you're from each other. Nowadays there are many apps you can use besides Skype or WhatsApp. Here at OneHowTo we give you a list of the best apps to make long-distance relationships easier.
Avocado
This app was created by a couple in a long-distance relationship. It gives you the opportunity to share your favourite lists and pictures and has a chat option. It also has a calendar for the two of you where you can count the days left to see each other again. The characteristic of this app is that it will only share items with your special one.
It's available for both iPhone and Android and it costs £10.99 a year.
Couple
Couple is another app that can help make the distance easier for you if you are in a long-distance relationship. The two of you can create lists, calendars, and moments that only you will see. It works as a social network but only for the two of you.
There is an adorable feature on this app called the Thumb Kiss. Basically, you and your significant other will take pictures of yourselves and once you hit the kiss button with your thumbs, your phones will both buzz.
Path
This app is also like a private social network, but you can also include more people besides your partner. It's perfect for those who not also want to share their moments with their special one but also with their family and friends.
Snapchat
Quite a few people say that this is one of the best apps that you can use if you are in a long-distance relationship. The pictures and videos do disappear, but if you just want to send a sweet video to your sweetie, this is one of the best ways to do it. You can capture your day to day life in about ten seconds for them to watch whenever they get time. This is convenient if you both work crazy hours, but it isn't like being on skype where you're in real time.
Also, the new features from Snapchat offer the possibility of making funny messages that your loved one will surely like.
TouchRoom
This app works quite differently from the ones mentioned above. TouchRoom allows you to create a room and invite anyone you want in. Inside these rooms (your screen) there are dots and when these overlap, your phone buzzes at the same time. It's a great way to feel your boyfriend or girlfriend close to you, even if you're at opposite sites of the world.
TouchRoom is only available for iPhone.
LokLok
With this app you'll be able to send a doodle to your partner's lock screen. It's perfect for letting them know you think about them when you're not able to talk to each other.
