Wine Spectator WineRatings+ (Free)
Want to avoid the crowds this year? Plan a romantic date at home with a fine bottle of wine. Do your wine research easily with the free Wine Spectator WineRatings+ app and hit your favorite local wine shop to grab a bottle or two (or three) for your romantic evening. Or, do your research ahead of time so you can pick out the perfect bottle when you hit the restaurant with your date. Just avoid that Cupid Caberet, okay?
Let’s Date: Free Casual Social Dating (Free)
If you are dateless for Valentine’s Day and you don’t want to be, try out the free Let’s Date app for iPhone. Billed as “the Instagram of dating”, Let’s Date is filled with potential dates with dater cards for your perusal. The design of the app is fun and intuitive, so what are you waiting for? You can even earn badges for going on dates (if that is your thing).
Uber (Free)
We recently recommended for a New Year’s eve night out. We love it so much we are turning to Uber again. Impress your date with something new this Valentine’s Day. Instead of picking him or her up in a yellow cab, try a snazzy black Uber car. Use the free Uber app to schedule your sophisticated black car and pay for the ride in-app. The map in the app gives the driver exactly where to pick you up and will even update you on Uber car arrival times. It’s fancy, yet convenient transportation that is sure to earn you bonus points with your date for being smart and sexy. You can drink an extra cocktail since you don’t have to drive. Bonus!
