Romantic apps
There's an app for almost everything and that includes romance. If you're loved one is far away in foreign climes or you just can't find enough ways to show how much you care, iLoveYou, an app for iPhone, has the answer - it provides you with a translation of those three little words in over 50 languages.
Alternatively, if you don't have your very own Cyrano de Bergerac at hand, fear not - the iWrite Love Poems app will do some of the work for you. With step-by-step tips for writing a heartfelt love poem, and a guide to eight different poetry styles, you'll be able to express your feelings in a whole new (and very romantic) fashion. There's also a Sexy Poems version if you fancy spicing things up a little and, if you give up all together, the app has the ability to create a whole poem for you.
