There's a common misconception that Valentine's Day must suck if you're single - but this doesn't have to ring true. Not having a date or partner means you have the freedom to spend February 14th however you want, doing whatever you want. And this set-up is pretty darn great, if you ask us.
But, if you're stuck on things to do and ways to fill your time, then rest assured that we've rounded up seven apps that will help you survive V-Day as a singleton...
Deliveroo
Sure, your mate might be going on a date to a fancy restaurant on Valentine's Day, but you're going to be doing something much better. Yep, that's right, you're going to be cosied up on your sofa, protected from the blistering cold, watching TV and tucking into a mouth-watering Chinese takeaway, courtesy of the Deliveroo app. We couldn't think of anything better, to be honest.
Treatwell
There's nothing better than a bit of me time, right? Treat yourself to a pampering facial, relaxing massage or a mood-boosting manicure this V-Day with the help of Treatwell. This handy app lets you browse over 10,000 beauty salons and spas to book a treatment that's perfect for you. Ooh la la.
ClassPass or MindBody
Still suffering from heartbreak after a messy break-up, and dreading Valentine's Day? Don't! Channel all of your negative emotions into smashing it at a fitness class booked through the ClassPass app, or getting your zen on at a relaxing yoga class from the MindBody app. You'll leave feeling de-stressed, revitalised and ready to focus your energy into something new. Boy, bye.
Netflix
Ah, Netflix - our one true love that never flakes on us, let's us down or disappoints us (sadly, we can't say the same about Tinder dates or partners). So, this Valentine's Day, let the Netflix app be your date. Put on your PJ's, prepare some snacks, get comfy, and whack on a binge-watch worthy Netflix show (we recommend Mindhunter or Riverdale, by the way).
DesignMyNight
Forget Valentine's Day - this year we're celebrating GALentine's Day, a day that's dedicated solely to female bonds and relationships. And what better way to mark such a fabulous day than with a big night out on the town, surrounded by your very best gal pals? Download DesignMyNight's app to plan which bars and clubs you should head to, and then assemble your girl squad. Go, go, go!

Depop
Don't get down in the dumps this Valentine's Day - instead be a boss babe by earning some extra money. Sell your unwanted clothes and shoes on the Depop app - which is a big hit with bloggers and stylists - from the comfort of your living room. Go on, get that side hustle started.
