With Valentine’s Day approaching, you might have a date planned. But how do you do that? These apps will give you a hand!
Want to plan a fun date, but have no idea where to start? Fortunately, you don’t have to do everything alone: these apps will help you get ready for the perfect date. All you need to do is bring good company.
Choose a nice outfit
Of course, a good date starts with choosing the perfect outfit. A good outfit is not only about looking nice, but also about feeling comfortable and confident. In addition, you naturally want to reveal some of your personality in your outfit. But have you already opened your wardrobe a few times with the feeling that you have nothing in your closet? Then an app like Stylebook can help you with that.
This app acts as your stylist showing you what you can combine. In the app you save the different items of clothing from your closet. You do this by taking a photo, or by looking it up in the app. You can also save entire outfits, so that you can see exactly what you have at a glance. In the app you will also find inspiration for a new look and you can plan what to wear and when.
Create an activity
Do you want to do something different on your date than the standard dinner and to the movies? Then take a look at Social Deal. Here you can see fun outings with a discount every day, sorted by location. So you will always find something fun to do nearby. This is also a very handy app for inspiration.
It works very easily: if you have found a nice outing, choose ‘buy now’ and pay with iDeal. A voucher with a QR code will then appear in the app. You can have these scanned on location. In the app you not only see outings, but also discounts on dinners, overnight stays, wellness, workshops and more.
Choosing the best restaurant
Would you like to eat out on your date, but you have no idea where to eat well? On The Fork you can see restaurants near you including rating. Do you have a budget? Then there are also restaurants that offer discounts via the app. In addition, you can immediately see in which price range a restaurant falls.
You can also contact The Fork if you are looking for a specific cuisine. For example, type ‘Japanese’ in the search bar and check all restaurants in your area with Japanese cuisine.
Cooking for your date
Would you like to impress your date with your cooking skills? Apps can help you with that too. There is Recipe Maker where you can find and save all kinds of recipes. Here you also get a lot of inspiration from, for example, Allerhande recipes, Jumbo recipes or the most saved recipes by other users of the app.
Are you not such a kitchen prince or princess? Then the Photo Cookbook is for you. Here is a step-by-step explanation of how to prepare a recipe in pictures and short text. Quick and simple recipes are free, but for other categories you pay 3.49 euros per category.
Check reviews
To make sure you have a fun date planned, it’s always a good idea to read reviews of the place you’re going to beforehand. That way you will never be faced with surprises. On Yelp, for example, you read reviews from others who have been to a particular location before. You will also see an average rating here, so that you immediately know where you stand.
There are also many honest user reviews on TripAdvisor. TripAdvisor is often used for holidays, but there are also reviews for, for example, restaurants or days out. Other fun activities are also highlighted by the app.
