Dating Counselor is a small, independent app built with care. Real questions get real answers — usually within a couple of days.
Have a question the FAQ below doesn't cover? Write to us here. We read every message and usually reply within 48 hours.
You set up a private profile of what you want from dating — your goals, your dealbreakers, your patterns. Then, whenever you're talking to or dating someone, you run an audit: a set of built-in questions about that person. The app cross-references your answers against your own profile and gives you a clear read — a flag score, the green and red flags, and honest counselor notes. It's like having a wise, blunt friend review every match.
Yes — completely. Everything you enter stays on your device, protected by iOS encryption. There is no account, no cloud sync, and no server. The counselor's analysis runs entirely on your phone, even in airplane mode. We collect nothing, so there is nothing for us to sell, leak, or hand over.

No. Dating Counselor Premium is a one-time purchase tied to your Apple ID, not to the app installation. After reinstalling, open the app and it should unlock automatically. If it doesn't, tap Settings → Restore Purchase (also available on the paywall screen). As long as you're signed into the same Apple ID you bought it with, your Premium is restored for free.
If it still shows as locked, email us and we'll help sort it out.
The free version lets you fully audit your first match, so you can experience the whole flow. Premium is a one-time payment — no subscription — that unlocks unlimited match audits and the full pattern reports across all of them, forever.
Go to Settings → Delete All Data & Start Over. This permanently erases your profile and every match audit from your device. Because your data was never uploaded anywhere, that single action removes all of it — there is no backup for us to clear on our end.
Dating Counselor runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS/iPadOS 17 or later. It works fully offline and needs no internet connection to function.
No — and it never claims to. Dating Counselor is a self-reflection tool that helps you notice patterns and think clearly. It is not a background check, a lie detector, or professional advice. Trust your own judgment, and if you ever feel unsafe, prioritize your safety over any score the app shows.
A note on safety: if someone has threatened, hurt, or pressured you, please don't wait. Contact your local emergency number or a domestic-abuse helpline. Your safety matters more than any date, and more than this app.
