Couple Joy's tactic

Flamme · B2C · couples app

Add a home-screen widget showing distance to your partner and days together
Worked well, per the founder; copied from a competitor; no numbers

Copied Couple Joy, one of the first couples apps to put a widget on the lock screen (and base its social media strategy on it): widgets showing the distance between partners (valuable for long-distance couples) and the number of days together, updated dynamically so a large widget reminds users of the app every time they unlock the phone. Discovered late, after notifications.
