Toucan - Relationship Advice

I can’t fully access the acc because it won’t allow me to invite my partner.

My partner and I have been using Toucan for a few months now. I’ve found the content to be very helpful and relatable. The videos of real couples sharing their stories about a range of topics make me feel like our experience as a couple isn’t so isolated, and that is super reassuring. I love being able to take the Pulse regularly to see where my partner and I are really at, and also look back on our stats in the past. It’s a simple app with profound value. I’d recommend Toucan to every committed couple I know, married or not.

I am giving it 5 stars because it has an abundance of valuable information all in one place. This app was not reviewed when I downloaded it on Sunday, October 11, 2020. It is free so I thought, “why not take a chance.” It has exercises to do separately then you come together and discuss videos and exercises letting you see areas that need more work. It did not appear to focus solely on sex like some apps do. Further more, it did not appear to push religion although it did mention the love languages which is Christian based. First you both download the app. Then one of you creates an account and invites the other to do the same. It wasn’t too difficult. Then we individually took the “Pulse” quiz. When we were both done it merged the answers to see where we need the most help. It gave a synopsis of my answers but did not show me his. I only have a general idea of how he answered based on the changes in the model and summary they provided of our combined answers. I am not sure if the modules were listed in order by our particular needs or if that is the standard order, but since the pulse tab recommended that we start with communication and it was listed first, we started with it. I thought the couple interviews were helpful because it showed me that I am not alone in my struggles and my husband referred to things he heard as well when discussed things in “Couple” time. Personally, I found taking notes with “paper and pen” (Word) helpful. Sometimes there are lists of questions or things to think about in the video portions of the modules. However, there is no place to record answers to the questions for discussion later. I did not find the exercises to be extremely helpful on their own because there was no place for an explanation of why you feel that way but they did serve some function. There is a communication review that repeats, presumably so you can see if there is progress, yet there aren’t any real substantive exercises so we were going through it so fast that nothing was really changing except for the frustration levels and those were increasing. I ended up going through each section of each module again, taking thorough notes and creating our own discussions using the questions that were all too briefly touched upon. This seemed to help because we were getting into much more thorough discussions about how we talk to each other, how we feel about things, and why we feel that way about it. Also, instead of waiting for “Couple Ti

We were recommended toucan by a friend, at first I thought it looked cheesy but the content is gold. Hearing from real people was good but the exercises and talking it through with each other was sooooo great. Hard at times, funny at other times but it gave us words for what we didn’t have words for before. We’ve been married a year now! Toucan helped us figure out how to move from the engaged to married stage and really helped us build our foundation.

Toucan is really unusual. I like very much the combination of couples sharing their experience, plus guidance (and excellent animation) and structured time to talk. A lot of thought and knowledge has gone into this app. It takes a while to work through Toucan and some might miss the benefit it offers if they allow themselves to be distracted.

Investing in your relationship has to be at the top of any couple’s priority list if they want their relationship to go the distance. This app makes it so simple and easy to do just that. You won’t be disappointed!

I love this app! The content feels really ‘real’ and I can relate to the situations they talk about. The questions have really caused me to think deeply and in ways I’ve not thought about in all the years I’ve been married. It’s caused my wife and I to have some very helpful conversations and see progress in areas that have been tricky the whole of our married life. Highly recommended to all in relationships.

I love the openness of couples in this app. The way they speak about their issues is both eye opening and quite a relief (that we are not the only ones that struggle)

This is a fun way to help grow my relationship with my best friend. It’s interactive platform helps me talk about stuff that I would want to keep a lid on!

The app needs an update. It’s a fantastic tool but sadly unable to complete the course as one section won’t let us select answers so unable to move past that page.
