Having knowledge about relationships and sexuality is important for young people to learn about themselves and develop knowledge and skills about acting in positive and respectful ways with others. It's vital to the overall wellbeing of young people.


Here are a few sexuality and relationship apps reviewed by Healthify

Before choosing an app, think about how it will benefit you and what you want it to be able to do.

  • An app will only be helpful if you use it, so it needs to be something you like using and find easy to use.
  • If you find the app difficult to use, or you don't like the imagery or look of it, or the language it uses, you may want to find another one that suits you better.
  • For more guidance on how to choose health apps, read more about how to choose a health app.
  • It's important to remember that apps don’t replace professional help or your doctor’s advice.
