Valentine's Day is like marmite: you either love it or you hate it. But whatever your take on the day for lovers, it is once again upon us. It is the one day of the year when the singletons will protest their loneliness, or strive to secretly tell their unspoken love of their true feelings.
And where lovers will seek new ways to express their devotion and undying love for one another either genuinely or in fear of the consequence of daring to suggest that it is ‘just another day' to their devoted other half. For many of us, it is a day that creeps up all too fast, it swoops in at a time of year where, for most, we are still getting over the financial holocaust of the festive season.
But fear not, if you are seeking inspiration, or a little help in setting the mood on the special day, we have put together a series of the finest Valentine's Day apps to help you make it through the day.

30 Day Relationship Challenge
By Five Hellions Development
Ok, this popular app is for those that are REALLY committed; for when saying ‘I love you' does not even begin to explain the devotion you have for each other. The 30 day challenge is exactly what it says on the tin: it is a challenge where each day for 30 days you must do something new; a gesture, a gift, a poem or song, whatever you desire but you must do this for the full period. It can be a great one for forging strong relationships, or simply for spoiling the one you love. On the other hand it could be overkill, we'll let you decide.
