Get the appLove8 combines moods, notes, doodles and a shared pet with live location sharing, arrival alerts and battery level. Amourly covers the same everyday gestures (notes, taps, moods, photos, drawings) but doesn't track where your partner is. It keeps the focus on how they're doing, plus a shared journal and map of the places you chose to save.

Love8 and Amourly share a lot of small gestures. The big question is whether you want to see each other's live location.

No, and that's intentional. Love8 shows your partner's live location, arrival alerts and battery level, which some couples find useful for safety and logistics. Amourly leaves location out: a place appears on your shared map only when one of you saves a memory there.
Love8 packs in more: live location, a pet, questions and lots of widgets. Amourly is narrower on purpose. It does the small gestures well, with notes that can carry a photo or drawing, 12 kinds of love taps, 42 moods, snaps and stories, and it keeps a journal of the moments worth remembering.
Love8 is listed at $9.99/month or $29.99/year for two users, so its yearly plan costs less. Amourly Pro is $9.99/month or $44.99/year, also for both of you, with no weekly plan and nothing extra to buy.
Write a few lines between meetings, add a photo or a quick drawing, and it's waiting in their Lovebox. They can reply when they have a minute.
