Frequently Asked Questions

Relish is based on the theory of “micro-learning” – behavioral change and habit forming comes from doing little things often. That’s what makes a long term relationship tick – small but meaningful actions each day. And it means that you’re much more likely to stick with these new habits over the long run.

When you download the app, you’ll be given a psychology-based assessment quiz to identify the health of your relationship, any key triggers and the goals that are most important to you right now. We’ll use that information to generate insights about your relationship and your first week’s activity plan.

Each plan you get from Relish is fully customized for you, with relevant lessons, activities, quizzes and ideas to keep your relationship healthy. The more you do, the more customized we can make your plan for you going forward.

We’ve developed a vast library of exclusive, custom-written lessons designed to generate deep insights and learning about yourself, your partner and your dynamic, all based on key theories and approaches in relationship science.

Our team of in-house researchers and writers all have a background in psychology. Relish lessons have been developed based on scientific theories and approaches which have been tested, and proven to help improve relationships.

Our panel of academic advisors include professors of psychology from institutions such as Stony Brook and Binghamton Universities in New York.

It’s never too early for anyone who’s in a long-term relationship to start Relishing.

This isn’t therapy. You may want to work on improving your communication, you may just feel disconnected and want to feel closer. We have people who are dating and people who have been together for 20+ years. They all just want to feel closer.

Relish brings the cutting edge of relationship science, condenses it down and serves it up to you in bite-sized chunks. No more buying self-help books and leaving them unread on your bedside table!

We have a panel of scientific advisors from various universities across the country who specialize in relationship science and have guided us in developing Relish.

We do recommend that you both use Relish together. When you subscribe, you get two accounts for the price of one, so your partner can join for free. You’ll see faster results, learn more about each other, and have more fun if you both download it and use it regularly.

Changing how you view your relationship and how you behave in it is incredibly powerful. So, while we definitely recommend it, you don’t need your partner to use Relish for this to work. You can start using it on your own before asking them to join you.

No! When you subscribe to Relish, we include a free account for your partner, so it doesn’t cost anything extra for them to join. Just go to the ‘More’ tab and send them an invite.

Make sure your partner follows the link on their phone.

If your partner followed the link on their phone and the content of the app is still locked they should leave the app and follow the link again. This will unlock their account.

Just go to the ‘More’ tab and invite them to partner up!

If one or both of you are still in your free trial, one of you should cancel your free trial so you’re not both billed. The person who is still in their free trial should then go to the “More” tab and invite their partner to join.

When you connect your accounts (or “partner up”), the only thing that your partner will automatically see is your attachment type. Apart from that, nothing will be shared with your partner unless you specifically share it with them - and we will always ask for confirmation before anything is shared.

For example, if you share a lesson with your partner, only the lesson will be shared, not anything you’ve journaled. If you want to share what you’ve journaled, you have to press the sharing button on the journal screen to do that – nothing gets shared without your permission.

Because you’re a different person, with a different personality and different challenges to your partner. Relish is really customized to you as an individual, taking into account what you’ve told us about your partner and what they’ve told us too. How you act and react in your relationship is different to how your partner acts and reacts. It’s important that you work on yourself at the same time as your relationship.

The standard Relish subscription costs $99.99 for six months for 2 people. Price may vary based on location and local currency.

Apple/Google control all the subscriptions for Relish. Sometimes the connection with the App Store can be interrupted (e.g. if your signal drops) and our system doesn’t hear back from the App Store confirming your subscription. If you suspect this has happened, simply go to the ‘More’ tab in your Relish app and tap “Restore Purchases” - that nudges the app store to tell us if you have a subscription.

We’re sorry you want to cancel! If there’s anything we did wrong, then please email us on help@hellorelish.com and tell us. Otherwise, tap the ‘More’ tab then tap ‘Your Subscription’. There you'll find step by step instructions on how to cancel Relish.

Our refund process depends on where you purchased your subscription.

iOS Devices: Apple handles all billing for in-app purchases made on iOS devices. Customers who subscribed to Relish through iTunes will need to reach out to Apple directly with any refund requests. They are often able to honor refund requests but it’s completely at their discretion and out of our control. You can contact iTunes Customer Support directly .

Android Devices: For yearly subscription purchases made through the Google Play Store, we are usually able to accommodate refund requests made within 7 days of the end of your free trial. Email us on help@hellorelish.com

All of the assessment quizzes in Relish are grounded in science and recommended by therapists and psychologists to deepen your understanding of yourself and your partner. The lessons you get in Relish are selected based on the answers that you give in your assessment quizzes. If there’s anything in your results that you think is not quite right, then contact us on help@hellorelish.com and we’ll look into it with you.

If for some reason you think you’re not getting new lessons, contact us on help@hellorelish.com and we’ll investigate – there’s an outside chance that one of our extremely clever engineers pressed the wrong button

Relish is always learning what works and what doesn’t for you through the feedback you leave in the app. The more you tell the system, the more it can tailor your lesson plan to what you need. So, if you don’t like something, then tell us at the end of the lesson, and we promise to be better the next time!

Of course you can. To retake your initial assessment, just go to the ‘More’ tab and hit ‘Retake Assessment’. When you do this, all of your lessons, your progress and journaling will be wiped, so you can start with a clean slate.

Yes of course. Just email us on help@hellorelish.com and we can change your name or your partner’s name for you.

Just email us on help@hellorelish.com and we'll look into this for you.
