These are the best Valentine’s Day apps for Android
Whether your significant other loves roses or another type of flower, nothing says Happy Valentine’s Day like a bouquet of flowers. If you can’t make it to the store yourself or just want to plan ahead, then you’ll want to make use of the 1-800-Flowers app to order those flowers right from your phone.
For some, a nice home-cooked meal goes a long way for a wonderful night together. But if you want to spring for an expensive dinner, you don’t have to leave the house to do so. Just order some DoorDash and have dinner brought right to your front door. All that’s left is to put the food on some plates, light a candle, and enjoy.
When it comes to finding the right gifts for Valentine’s Day, you could shop locally or fire up Amazon. But if you want something truly unique, Etsy is the place to go to find gifts that you won’t find everywhere else. From cards to actual gifts, Etsy has everything you could imagine — even some obscure stuff you won’t find elsewhere.

It’s a great option if you’re looking to say, “I put tons of effort and thought into this” without actually doing more than two minutes of actual work.

Make sure you have the flowers
The 1-800-Flowers app may not be the first thing to come to mind if you’re trying to get flowers for Valentine’s Day. But you can order your flowers from the app and have same-day delivery from a local florist, or plan out your flower delivery to have them delivered on a specific day or different location.
2. DoorDash
For one reason or another, not everyone really wants to go out to restaurants as much as they used to anymore. But the truth remains that you have to eat, and if you aren’t the greatest cook, you can still provide a delicious dinner for your partner on Valentine’s Day. With DoorDash, you can order from your significant other’s favorite restaurant, and either have it delivered to your front door or set it for pick up.
There’s a reason why DoorDash takes the top spot for the best food delivery app on Android. It makes it possible to order food from pretty much anywhere. With the DoorDash app, you can plan everything accordingly and track exactly where your food is at from the time the order hits the kitchen until it arrives at your doorstep. If you want to save a few bucks in the process, you can sign up for DashPass and get lower service fees along with no delivery fees.

From partnerships with popular restaurants to ordering from one-of-a-kind eateries, DoorDash has you covered. You can either have dinner delivered or set it for pick up, ensuring that your food is hot and fresh when it’s time to kick off the night.
3. Etsy
Etsy may not be your first choice when it comes to shopping online for some Valentine’s Day gifts, but the truth is that Etsy is arguably the best place to shop online. There are so many unique items to choose from, many of which you won’t even be able to find from the big box stores. Plus, many of these are hand-crafted, so you’ll be getting one of the most unique gifts possible for your significant other on Valentine’s Day.
The app itself is free to use, and after creating an account, you can start perusing the storefronts while saving potential gift ideas along the way. If a certain store caught your attention, then the app will notify you when the seller comes out with a new item that might be of interest. And if you have any questions, you can message the Etsy sellers directly and get the answers you need before making your purchase.

Other great options
Though they didn’t quite make it into our top three, here are some other Valentine’s Day apps for Android to try out, whether you want to find something to watch, create greeting cards, and more.
Netflix
So dinner is already done, the dishes are cleaned, and you need something else to do to have a relaxing night on Valentine’s Day. What better way to do so than to fire up Netflix and watch that new original? Maybe you and your significant other have been wanting to watch a TV show but haven’t had the time? Fire up the Netflix app, turn on the movie or show, then sit back and relax.
In addition to the multitude of Netflix Originals content available, the company recently added a “Shuffle Play” option for subscribers. This will find something random for you and your partner to watch. Don’t worry, it’s not entirely random. Instead, Netflix uses your previously watched movies and shows, along with anything saved to the “My List” section, to generate the “random” content to watch.
Just chill
Netflix
Free w/ IAP at Google Play
Throw on a movie
Since not many are going to the movies this year, being able to stream movies and TV shows is extremely useful, especially on Valentine’s Day. Fire up that movie you both have been wanting to watch, or let Netflix Shuffle Play decide for you.
justWink Greeting Cards
What better way to spread love than with delightful digital greeting cards? justWink lets you send personalized greeting cards that range from funny to romantic, quite serious, and more. Send them via Twitter, Facebook, email, and even that archaic standby that we often forget still exists — real mail!
These cards come animated, so you can flip them open on your phone and take in all the Valentine’s love. You can even add your own signature to truly personalize your heartfelt message. There’s a justWink greeting card for absolutely everyone, so go bananas and send a little Valentine’s Day greeting to everyone that holds a special place in your heart (and I’m sure you can find something sarcastic for folks who don’t).
Have fun with cards
justWink Greeting Cards

Express yourself with a personalized card
You could go the route of finding a great physical card to give to your partner or significant other on Valentine’s Day, but where’s the fun in that? Why not use an app like justWink to create custom and personalized cards that you can send through text message, email, or through social media?

It’s no secret that Amazon has become the de-facto choice for just about any online shopping that you may need to do. In some cities, you can have things delivered in just a few hours instead of having to wait a few days if you waited until the last minute to order a gift for Valentine’s Day. Regardless if you need some ideas or know that they love Android, there are some pretty awesome and affordable gifts for that Android lover, and you may end up surprising them.
Even if you don’t live in one of those cities with same-day delivery, Amazon Prime provides two-day shipping, so you’ll have plenty of time to get those orders in ahead of Valentine’s Day. What more can you really say about the most popular shopping app on Android? It has everything you need, including the ability to create and share wish lists, so your significant other knows what you actually want and you don’t end up with something that will end up buried in the closet.

Bouquets of flowers are cool, but what about bouquets of fruit or chocolate-covered strawberries? Regardless of which way you want to go, Edible Arrangements has you covered. There are more than 1,200 locations that you can choose from, and you can get same-day delivery in select cities.
After you’ve figured out what you want to get for your partner on Valentine’s Day, you can go the extra mile and customize the gift with some extra goodies. But perhaps the best aspect of Edible Arrangements (other than the fruit) is that you can use the gift generator to help find some ideas on what you should get for Valentine’s Day.
