Does calculating your love with an app really work?

Here comes the big question: What's the point of doing this?

Can you really tell if a relationship will work with a test? The answer is simple: no, at least not in absolute terms. But that's not the point. The goal of these apps isn't to dictate the future, but to generate reflection, conversation, and connection.

Calculating your love with an app is an excuse to stop for a moment and think about your relationship. How do you feel about that person? How well do you communicate? What could be improved? We often go through life on automatic, and a little game can be the switch that wakes us up.

Plus, for those just starting a relationship or meeting someone new, these apps are a fun way to break the formality and get closer without pressure. A "let's play a game of calculating our love" can be worth more than a thousand prepared lines.

And for those in long-term relationships, it can be a way to renew the spark, to remember what unites them, and to laugh together as if it were the first time.

What if the result is low? How to interpret a "bad percentage" on the love test

One of the most common questions after using a love calculator app is: What do I do if the result is low? Does this mean the relationship is doomed? Should I be worried? And the answer is much simpler than it seems: no, you shouldn't be alarmed. In fact, these "poor results" can be the start of much-needed conversations.

Love compatibility apps use predefined formulas, whether based on names, zodiac signs, or multiple-choice questions. But they don't know your history, your emotions, or the moments you've shared with that person. So, if an app says your love is only worth 40%, it doesn't mean you're in a failed relationship. It may just be a way to get you thinking: "What could we improve?", "Are we communicating well?", "Are we listening to each other enough?"

Many couples take these poor results as an invitation to talk. Instead of seeing them as a judgment, they use them as an excuse to revisit certain aspects of their relationship. Sometimes, simply laughing together about a bad result strengthens the bond.

A couple who wrote to us, José and Miriam, ages 49 and 53, said they scored 35% on a compatibility test. At first, they were a little annoyed, but then they started talking about how they met, what they'd overcome together, and ended up reminiscing about anecdotes they hadn't shared in years. "That night we didn't fix anything, but we felt close again," they said.

In short: a bad result is not an end, but a starting point.

Conclusion: Calculate your love and discover something new about yourself and your partner

At the end of the day, love doesn't need formulas. But it does need care, attention, and, why not, a little play. Love calculator apps don't replace a deep conversation, but they often encourage it. And that's already a lot.

So if you're curious, if you want to have a good time, or if you're just looking for an excuse to get closer to that special someone, don't hesitate. Calculate your love, explore what emerges and let yourself be surprised.

It doesn't matter if you're 20, 40, or 65. Love, in all its forms, deserves to be experienced with curiosity, humor, and an open heart.
And if an app can help you do it… why not give it a try?
