My girlfriend and I have been using the Couple messaging app [0] to keep in touch. It has lots of texts and photos going back to the start of our relationship. They are valuable memories, but there is no way to export them.
The iOS App Store says that app hasn't been updated since 2014, and my emails to Couple are going unanswered. Their blog [1] says that they sold out to Life360, but they are also not answering my emails.
So I was wondering if anyone could help me to export my texts and photos from Couple. They have both a mobile phone app and a web app.

I'm leaving the Couple app for the same reason. It's a shame. I was a huge advocate for it over the past few years.
Good news. I found a way to get all your messages.
You should now have a JSON representation of all of your messages.
i.e. A lot should look like this
couple_backup.json
if you want to use the tip below).I'm not sure how comfortable your are with the JSON format. But all the data is there for the pickin'. In case you're not super comfortable, here's a way to get the JSON to be slightly more readable (only will work on a Mac):
cat ~/Desktop/couple_backup.json | python -m json.tool > ~/Desktop/formatted_couple_backup.json
into a Terminal window and hit Enter.formatted_couple_backup.json
on your DesktopMaybe I'll create a Couple Exporter app one day to help people like us that could go through and automatically download all the images or something. This can work for now.
