Off-Beat Valentine iPhone Apps

Here are some off beat apps from Apple's AppStore for iPhone users that could provide help or hindrance on V-Day.

Off-Beat Valentine iPhone Apps

Like I said I’m not a particular fan of Valentines Day or the iPhone, although they both have their merits, depending on situations and circumstances. But when it comes to applications I have had plenty of fun using the iPhone as compared to some of the other UIs. I even know iPhone users who’ve actually used applications and the handset for the most important days of their lives. A buddy wrote his wedding speech on his and his toast-master, who just happens to be my editor, wrote his on his iTouch.


With that ‘fateful’ day just a few hours away (so to speak) iPhone users can make the best of their devices with some of these apps we’ve collected for you. Of course these could also be used in case you don’t happen to have a Valentine and are looking and even if you struck out. More importantly, most of these apps are either free or cost no more than Rs. 100. But like i said - No Guarantees. These suggested apps could either help or hinder so proceed at your own risk.

Love Poem Generator (Free)


For the lazy, but romantic who never have the right thing to say or just didn’t want to spend the time doing so but always wanted to, the Love Poem Generator is THE perfect solution for you. The application is able to generate random lines from over 10,000 poems. You can opt to select random sentences from a variety of poems or use the Renew button to create a new one. You can even email the poem to her with a simple export function. Not that you shouldn’t, but this process requires very limited thinking and will be really handy for when you have nothing at the last minute.

Pick up lines (Free)



If you can use your iPhone to give a speech why not use it to pick up chicks. Ever wanted to use some corny line that has potential to sweep some girl in a bar off her feet, then this could be just what you need. Mind you, we don’t guarantee it’ll work, nor does Apple for that matter but hey, what have you got to lose, except your dignity. Then again using your mobile with an application to pick up chicks doesn’t say much for the same.

PuriCard: Love Bites - $0.99 (Rs. 48)


For those frustrated valentines who still however, want their partners to know they care but are nevertheless, still frustrated, this application is probably a great way to get those sentiments across. What this application does is allow you to use images from your device (already present or recently captured with the camera) and customize them with stickers of some rather interesting designs. Thankfully the stickers are not of a lower resolution so rest assured they’ll all be quite clear to whomever you send them to. The ‘finished’ image can be emailed. There are plenty of options to use from colors to a variety of stickers.
