A new app has claimed to be able to make a science-based decision on if a relationship will last or not.

StayGo uses user inputted information and algorithms to give a score and verdict on a couple’s bond.

Friends of the couple are also invited give their opinions anonymously, incorporating a “social feedback” element.

The app was developed by a team of university psychologists and relationship experts.

Users are first subjected to an extensive series of questions – sometimes very personal ones - on downloading Staygo, including on sex and how ‘passionate’ their relationship is.

Personality traits, such as how well a partner handles stress and how he or she would describe themselves, are also entered and analysed. Users can update the data in the app at frequent instalments to keep track of their progress.

Following the test, the user’s relationship is given a score, along with advice, such as “it's time to change things up and enjoy life... because right now your relationship is filled with too much negativity.”

While it has been met with some criticism for being impersonal and judgemental, the app has also received positive reviews online, as some people believe it is more honest in its appraisals and advice than people closer to the couple might be.

“This concept delivers what you've wanted from any silly test you've ever taken online,” said one user. “It’s fascinating to see where you are in your relationship from a science based perspective. For me, this revealed things I knew in my gut about my relationship but wasn't able to articulate or understand.

“Obviously, nothing is ever black and white and this app does not try and simplify the complexities of romantic love. It does however show you where you'd like to grow. I will keep this and use it over and over again as my relationships develop.”

Another user said: “A very cool tool for people who date and are in new relationships! Sad it wasn't out there a few years ago when I was looking for a long-lasting relationship, it could have helped a lot.”
