Geographical distance has become a big barrier that separates lovers in an increasingly shrinking world. Thank god there are smartphones. Youngsters, particularly in urban areas, comprise most of the user base for smartphones and tablets.
Just as they cannot stay away from their lovers, friends and families, separation from their smartphones too is unthinkable for Gen Y. But these nifty modern devices go far beyond just powering conversations. There are the obvious and ubiquitous apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, Viber and Skype that almost every smartphone user installs.
But here are 10 lesser known apps that can help geographically distanced lovers spend some quality time together virtually and extend the concept of sharing.

Evernote has become quite a popular platform. Different people use it for different reasons. It can be used as a note-taking app that allows partners to pen down each and every little detail they need to remember about each other, or their relationship.
Evernote also allows users to plan surprise parties and visits, or just put down thoughts that one would like to share at a later time. Available across almost all three major stores like Android, iOS and Windows, Evernote is always more than a handy tool.
Handwritten

The sole function of this iOS app is to allow you to email letters written in your own squiggly handwriting to give your messages that personal touch. Break out of your usual email and snail mail exchanges with a short (even if mildly illegible) note. It writes smoothly even if you’re just using your finger, but having a good stylus certainly helps.
Red Stamp

Red Stamp is a free iOS app that allows you to send your personalized cards immediately over text, email, Twitter, or Facebook. You can now send new card designs that are added with each festive occasion. So you need not hold back. Go, express.
Cupple
Here is another private sharing app specifically designed for you two on your iPhone, iPod and iPad. You can post photos, add captions, check in to places, and keep all that strictly between the two of you.

Ferns and Petals

Every guy at some point in his relationship has surprised his partner with a bouquet of flowers. And vice versa! The Ferns and Petals free app on Android allows you to do exactly that even when your partner isn’t in the same country. A bouquet of the traditional red roses or chocolates are now only a few clicks (and of course some money!) away.
A neat interface and some extraordinary results, this app is a must have for all of you who suffer from the long-distance syndrome. It is an extension of the F&P’s physical business that is more than a virtual florist.
WeChat
