Cupple

THE BEST WAY FOR COUPLES TO KEEP IN TOUCH BETTER - GIZMODO 'App of the Day' Valentines Day 2012 "Cupple does an elegant job of bringing it all together in one app" - Stuart Dredge, The Guardian "If you’re looking for a way to share moments with your loved one while on the road, or from up the street on your way from home, Cupple could be a nice way to text less and share more." - Drew Olanoff, The Next Web "The key thing is that it encourages intimacy. It’s the kind of app that’s particularly ideal for the couple who have to frequently travel for work but still want to keep in regular contact, even if it’s simply to say they saw something and thought of the other person." - Jennifer Allen, 148apps Tweet with us @CuppleHQ Share the love.

Cupple makes private social

Couples love spending “quality time” together. But they don’t always want to be locked away…

Cupple was the first iPhone app to provide two people with a space where they could share words, photos and life experiences, away from the hustle and bustle of networks such as Facebook and Twitter. It is now being used across the world, from the USA to Europe, China, South Africa and the Middle East.

Couples love having their own private world. But they also want to socialise with friends and family. That’s why Cupple is now giving lovers the option to share some of their special moments with the other people in their lives.

The story so far...

Cupple provides two people with an attractive shared timeline where they can post words, pictures and locations.  Since launching in late 2011, it has received praise in The Next Web, TechCrunch, The Wall Street Journal and The Guardian, and was Gizmodo’s App of the Day on Valentine’s Day this year. It launched its “Version 2” at this year’s SXSW conference in Texas.

So what’s new?

Check in together: Couples can check into a spot together and post photos to their Cupple timeline.

“Date Places”: Cupple users can now share their favourite places by posting them on their Facebook walls. It’s a great way of recommending spots to friends, who can also click the link to the place’s foursquare page for more comments and photos.

Photo album: Cupple users can build a “Cupple photos” album in Facebook, which is a scrapbook of all their moments together that they want to share.

Tim Allison of Cupple says “People are using Cupple to plan weddings, share private photos of their kids and long distance couples love it also. We find the women love the intimacy and the fun and the guys love the fact all the messages and pictures are kept in one place”.

the best rings are the ones that mean something. the silver on these rings rub off after time, and reveals the 18 karat gold ring beneath the silver. the point of the ring is to show that the longer love lasts, the more powerful and beautiful it is.

That’s pretty dope

We're really pleased to be covered by ArtcicStartup today. Tim really enjoyed talking with Greg Anderson, Editor, and look forward to sharing more news on the Copenhagen Adventure and developments with Cupple. Read the full article in the link above.

Cupple in Copenhagen. We're delighted to have a base in Copenhagen for the summer and look forward to meeting new people and networks involved in the Nordic Start Up Scene. Already very impressed with our first event at Nokia last night for Arctic Start Up Copenhagen. Tommy Ahlers the CEO of Podio was doing a fireside chat about the journey he's been on and things he has learnt. It was a great evening, hopefully one of many to come.

Trying out some new ideas for stickers within the Cupple app. You can now attach the stickers free of charge and have fun playing with the Sad Panda, Star and Horny Devil ;) This is one of our new designs - we'd love to know what you think of it? What would you call it? 

[cupple-blog]

Hi there (: I checked you guys out and Cupple seems like a really cool app! I don't own a good enough on-the-go device to really benefit from it, but I'll definitely be recommending it to friends that do! I completely understand the concept and wish I could use the app myself!

That is really really kind thank you. Would be great if you could mention to your friends . Thanks, Tim. You can find us on Facebook too at http://www.facebook.com/CuppleHQ

Awesome to see the article by Mike Butcher in Techcrunch. We've read Techcrunch for a long time and to read an article like this made us happy. We'd love it if you can re-blog this? Thanks, Tim.

Love shines a Light

Private sharing is a relatively new concept in the mobile digital world. To date, the emphasis has been around building networks, collecting ‘friends’ and accumulating digital contacts to share things with. 

The start of the 2012 has seen smaller, more meaningful networks emerge. Earlier last year Path and Google dipped their toes in the water but it’s the recent rise in popularity of Apps like Cupple, Duet and the recently launched Pair that signify a change is coming. The network of just 2 people makes as much sense online as it does in life, certainly for many couples. Our most significant adult relationship surely comes with our partner; the person we share the journey with closest. 

Cupple is a mobile app for iPhone that launched last year and has received various plaudits from the US, most notably The Wall Street Journal who recognised that Cupple puts a ‘welcome premium on privacy’. Designed for just 2 people in a relationship to share moments when they’re apart and identify places they want to go, Cupple cleverly harnesses a powerful network and delivers a simple solution.

This distilling of our social network and online life is a natural progression. Our lives become more refined as we make decisions around how we spend our time and who with. The role of our friends evolves to a quality over quantity arrangement; we spend time and share most with those who mean the most to us.

These methods of using social networks for more grown up exchanges makes perfect sense when you align them with the real world. Facebook has a teenage feel to it and perhaps that’s where it’ll always be best suited. It’s a flurry of events, likes, links and ads leaving the users not quite sure why they’re using it but unable to pull themselves away from it. But the first Facebook generation is growing up.

One can feel a groundswell of change. The smart money and time is in the refinement of bigger ideas and established platforms. Facebook won’t be caught and their recent acquisition of Instagram highlights the fact even further. Perhaps the change in trend is in not trying to light up the room in one go but simply putting a candle on a table for people to sit down at. Allowing users to express themselves together in smaller circles, with no fear of ex classmates or people they met for fifteen minutes listening in and commenting on the conversation. 

Private sharing and intimate networks facilitate a new kind of online publishing and expression. A place where the indecision around sharing broadly to big groups is taken away and creates a timeline to truly be part of. 

Mobile products need to be more thoughtful and mindful of the people using them. As Facebook becomes a social scrapbook of lives gone by, a space has emerged for new products to reflect the way we live our life tomorrow.

'Love shines a Light' by Tim Allison, Cupple CEO & CO Founder appeared in The Journal, Tech Notes section on April 26th.
