Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Aperi, the algorithm, and how it helps you have better conversations.

Most question apps hand you a static list and call it a day. Aperi pays attention to how you react. Every rating you give (like, dislike, neutral, love, skip) teaches the app what works for you. After about 15 ratings, the questions stop feeling generic and start feeling specific to your relationship.
Anyone who wants better conversations. Couples use it the most, but it works just as well for friends, roommates, or solo self-reflection. The app doesn't care about your relationship status. It just learns what topics and depths resonate with you.
Aperi is a native app for iPhone and Android. Download it from the App Store or Google Play and sign in with the same account on either platform.
Most people spend around 5 minutes: reading a question, maybe reflecting on it, sometimes discussing it with someone. Some questions spark a 30-minute conversation. Others you just rate and move on. There's no timer and no pressure to do more than feels right.
Nothing bad. There are no streak penalties or guilt notifications. Your preferences and progress stay exactly where you left them. Aperi is designed around a daily habit, but life happens and the app doesn't punish you for it.
Your account tracks one personal taste profile. You can use Aperi solo or pair up with one partner at a time. When paired, you get the double-blind reveal experience, where both of you answer before seeing each other's response. Your personal preferences carry over if you unpair and start fresh with someone else.
Yes, because the whole point is personalization over time. Without an account, the app can't remember your preferences between sessions. During onboarding you pick the topics and depth levels you're drawn to, and that's what kickstarts the personalization before you've rated anything.
2,600+ questions across 11 categories and 4 depth levels, and counting. Every question goes through multiple rounds of review before it's published. New questions are added regularly.
Level 1 (Icebreaker) is fun and low-stakes: hypotheticals, preferences, silly "what ifs." Level 2 (Personal) gets into opinions and experiences. Level 3 (Vulnerable) touches on fears, regrets, and insecurities. Level 4 (Deep) is existential: identity, mortality, core beliefs. The app decides when you're ready for each level based on how you rate questions.
Eleven categories that cover a wide range: from everyday life and fun hypotheticals to intimacy, values, and future planning. Each category has questions at all four depth levels. The app tracks your category preferences independently, so loving "Fun & Playful" questions won't flood you with only those.
They're completely separate. Daily questions are chosen for you based on your taste and depth level. You don't pick them and they don't come from packs. Question packs are themed collections ("Before Marriage," "Money & Values," "New Parents") that you browse and work through at your own pace. Think of daily questions as the app's picks and packs as your picks.
Every question goes through multiple rounds of review before it reaches you: automated checks for tone, readability, and duplicates, plus human review for anything borderline. Questions that don't meet the bar get rejected. The result is a library where every question has earned its place.
Open the Library. It holds every question we have written, and you can search it by describing the moment you are in, like "we keep having the same argument" or "first trip together". You can also draw a random question with shuffle, or open a themed pack and work through it together. Free accounts get ten library questions a day, premium removes the limit.
Unlikely. With 2,600+ questions and new ones added regularly, there's plenty to work with. The app also won't repeat questions you've already seen. If you somehow exhaust a category, it'll explore others, which is usually where the most interesting discoveries happen anyway.
One question per day for both of you, three starter categories, ten library questions a day, full personalization, voice memos, the weekly check-in, your shared journal, and all four depth levels. The free plan isn't a limited trial. It's a real daily experience. Premium adds every themed pack, the whole library with no daily limit, three questions to choose from each day, catching up on days you missed, and insights.
If a free trial is running, the subscription screen in the app shows it on the plan itself along with how long it lasts and what it renews at. Whether or not there is one, you can subscribe for a month and cancel before it renews. The free plan already gives you the core daily experience with full personalization and voice memos. Premium adds the remaining categories, every pack, and the library without a daily limit.

We don't sell your data, period. Your ratings are used to personalize your experience but nobody else sees your individual activity. We don't run ads and we don't share data with third parties.
Yes. You can delete your account from the settings page and all your data goes with it: ratings, preferences, everything. Deletion is permanent and happens immediately, not after a 30-day "cooling off" period.
