While Tinkovu says it’s for “friends,” it’s clearly for lovers. Once you connect to another Tinkovu user, you can do a little tap in the app that will send your partner a notification that lets them know you were thinking of them. It’s called a “tink” and you’ll love seeing your tinks add up as your partner thinks of you throughout the day. There are also customized quizzes to help you get to know one another, and flirty features like the Chrono Tink, which lets you write a message that your partner cannot open until a certain date, or the Memory Tink, which lets you create a souvenir photo from special moments.
