Long-Distance Relationship Apps—Because Absence Makes The Heart Grow Frustrated. By Bianca Bosker. In this March 23, 2012, file photo, Actress Kaley Cuoco uses a mobile phone as she sits with an unidentified man courtside at the NBA basketball game between the Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Lakers in Los Angeles. Tinkovu – Long distance relationship It is difficult from a distance to express your feelings fully and reliably to your partner. You may feel too much and be unable to say it in person. In this case, the Tinkovu app can help you. Best for couples with separation anxiety: Without. There are lots of communication apps out there, but there’s one geared specifically for couples in long-distance relationship.

When you tell your friends, excitedly, that you’ve met someone, you see their faces light up. When you tell them he lives in another city, or state, their faces drop. People can worry that geographical differences won’t bode well for love, but some studies have actually found that living in a different place than your partner can contribute to relationship satisfaction. Long-distance dating is also incredibly common, with one study finding that a quarter of online daters have gotten involved with someone who lived far away. With many dating apps even implementing new features that let you specifically search for people anywhere in the world – like Tinder’s Passport – finding long-distance love is even becoming the thing to do.

Ultimately, who is anyone besides you to judge the validity or happiness of your relationship? It’s hard to find someone with whom you click. Making a connection is rare. So when you do, maybe it’s worth some plane tickets and vacation days. If you do have some miles between you and your lover, you will need all the help you can get to keep that connection alive. Fortunately, because long-distance dating is so common, many innovative apps have hit the market for the very purpose of helping geographically distant pairs. Thanks to technology, you can feel like your partner is basically in the room with you, no matter where he is. Some of these apps can even be fun for partners who do live in the same city, but want to strengthen their bond. Here are apps that help keep your long-distance love alive.

Between

Between is like a private digital love journal for you and your partner. On it, you can make customized selfie GIPHs and emoticons to add a little special touch to your messages. It will store precious memories like love notes, photos, and videos. The calendar feature lets you share calendars, so you feel connected and has a fun countdown feature that counts the days until the next time you’ll be together – which can be especially encouraging for long-distance couples. Everything is encrypted and secure in the app. You can make free calls using the app, and even when you change devices, your account will store your data, and you can access it all on your new phone.

Those who shun long-distance relationships clearly don't know the power of true love — or of the digital era. Apps every long-distance couple should use can keep you and your paramour connected across cities, states, oceans, or planets, once space-travel technology catches up. And while I can neither report on any technological developments nor offer you a lesson on the science of time warps, I can point you in the direction of phone apps that will make your beloved seem at least a little closer — something that can come in particularly handy if your LDR isn't always LD.

Sometimes being two towns over seems like it could justify use of those animatronic pillows that makes it seem like your lover is spooning you when they physically can't. My college boyfriend lived off a different subway line than me and though we resided in the same borough of New York City, when we occupied our separate abodes I would spend that time penning love letters to him like he was oceans away.

'Nurturing the emotional connection in a long-distance relationship is crucial for you and your partner. It must be reciprocal and each one of you needs to demonstrate that your love can grow even with the miles that separate you,' dating and relationship coach, Fran Greene LCSW tells Bustle.

Thanks to technology, we can date via the camera. 'The best thing I say for long distance couples is to have FaceTime or Skype dates,' Karenna Alexander, a matchmaker and dating coach, tells Bustle. 'That way you can see one another, it's like a date, only not in real life. It will keep the connection strong,' she says, adding that it's important to see each other IRL when you can.

Having your person far from your embrace is hard on the heart. These apps can shorten the distance while you wait for the next reunion.

Couple

Dubbed the 'App for Two,' Couple allows long-distance lovers to contribute to the same, private timeline. Features include a shared calendar so that you two can digitally circle your reunion date with a splash of heart-eye emojis. In addition to sharing a calendar, you can also ~feel the touch~ of your loved one with Thumbkiss. Sketching in real time together in the Live Sketch feature is another exciting way to feel close when you can't physically hold hands.

Between

Make the countdown official for when your boo flies to your city to see you with a celebratory tracking calendar that will store all those special dates you look forward to. With Between, there are a lot of ways to fill the space ~between~ you two. The app creates a private channel for couples to store their favorite memories, allows them to design their chat space with sweet stickers. When you're miles and miles from a kiss, this app can make things seem more intimate and involved than a phone call.

Kast

You know that TV show you always watched together? And watching without them somehow feels wrong? Well, cocoon yourself in your favorite pile of blankets and open the Kast app, formerly known as Rabbit. Your loved one can join you as the app syncs whatever your watching so you can watch together miles apart without spoilers. Much easier than than going, 'OK press play in 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... NOW!'

Without

The cool thing about Without is that it totally gets your longing while also respecting that you are two busy people operating in a chaotic world. And, according to Greene, it's very important to let your partner know that you miss them. 'Tell each other that you miss them. It is so important to let each other know that you truly miss being with them in person. At the same time, it is equally important to reassure your partner that you understand why you have to be separated at this time,' Greene explains to Bustle.

That's why the single tap selfie-notes is so great. Remind your lover that you're thinking about them throughout the havoc of your day's schedule with surprise sweet nothings and picture. When you're missing their face, open Without, swoon at their latest message and go about your day.

WhatsApp

I have witnessed long distance relationships make it to marriage by way of WhatsApp. This staple app allows for calls, messaging, and leaving voice recordings. These simple features make it the choice way of communication when you're in New York and your soulmate is in Tel Aviv.

TouchNote

Get all romantic and old fashioned with TouchNote. The app turns your personal pictures into postcards and sends them to your loved one with a personal message so that you have something other than texts to show your grandchildren one day. Greene tells Bustle that a good way to sustain a long-distance relationship is by engaging in 'random acts of caring.' She suggests sending a gift in the mail and even 'mail a card that expresses how much you care.' Good thing TouchNote works to make that happen!

1-800-Flowers

Who doesn't enjoy a surprise flower delivery? 1-800-Flowers figures that ~someone~ you know might be interested in displaying a bouquet of flowers on their desk. Just pick your bae's favorite flower and tap your phone screen to make a delivery. All of this can be handled between checking emails. It's. That. Simple. To. Make. Someone's. Day.

LokLok

If you're an Android user and you're in a long distance relationship, you have to get LokLok. The creative app allows lovers to send messages using sketches created on your lock screen. When they open their phone your sweet doodle will appear which you can rest assured ~drew~ a beaming smile across their face.

HeyTell

HeyTell gets that sometimes you just want to hear the angelic voice of your beloved. And that sometimes you have so much to say your thumbs can't keep up with your thoughts. This is perfect for when you can't get to the phone.

We-Connect

Sometimes you need intimacy-intimacy and that doesn't help when your partner is 4,000 miles from your bedroom. We-Connect gets that sexual frustration and works to keep things sexy beyond FaceTime and phone calls and dirty texts — with vibrations. Once you're both connected to the app, your lover can control the vibrations you're enjoying and you two can feel a little closer than you actually are.

Journey

It's important to stay on top of your mental health when the distance begins to weigh on you. Keeping a journal with the Journey app is a way to keep track of what you're grateful for, remind yourself of how bad-ass and independent you are as well as offer a space to vent those feelings when you need to air out frustration. Focusing on your own well-being is a way to make your relationship sustainable when you're faced with challenges. Such as, distance.

Lovedays

Lovedays, available on both iTunes and Google Play, allows you both to see an active count down to important events. Think your anniversary, vacations, weddings, as well as the next time you'll get to see other for a long weekend. Check it every day, and you'll know it's only 52 more days until you'll be running across an airport, and jumping into each other's arms. (Aww, romance.)

Rave

You know when you hear the perfect song, and the only thing that would make it better would be listening with your S.O.? That's what you can do with Rave, an app that allows you sync your tunes up with your partner. If you're more in a movie mood, you can always watch YouTube or Netflix together and, as the app says, 'never watch alone again.'
