When it comes to impressing the ladies, the iPhone is just about the best wingman you could have. Install these killer apps, and turn your Apple phone into a pocket-sized love doctor!

Cocktails
Lets cut to the chase: when you’re out on a date all you really want to do is bin the bar and head back to your place early. Cocktails will let you impress your date with intricate knowledge of fancy drinks once you’re lured her back home. Fire it up, fling open the cupboards, and you’ll be whipping up a Sex On The Beach in no time.

Vicinity
Impress your date by knowing all the latest hotspots, ripped from the internet and plotted in relation to your current location. Tap into your phone to find cinemas, restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. You’ll never go to the same place twice, but then, you never have to take the same date twice either!

Tomatoes
Whether you’re taking a date to the cinema for a chick flick or something a little more muscle-bound, never let a film flop spoil your date. Tomatoes lets you tap into the mammoth database at RottenTomatos.com. Use it to find a tactful alternative to the Sex and the City movie.

Shakespeare
Entrance your lover with classic lines from Romeo and Juliet. OK, that’s a bit cheesy. But it’ll come in handy for filling the vast swathes of white space inside birthday cards, valentine cards, and for thinking up a smooth message to go with those flowers you’re sending.

iTarot
All girls love horoscopes. It doesn’t matter that they’re less truthful than a Clinton speech. Impress your date by showing them your spiritual side. Make out that you check the stars and consult the cards every day, and you’ll soon be making out in a different way altogether.

Birthdays Organizer
You might only be at the dating stage, but this is still a useful app. The second she mentions her birthday, jot it down here. It’ll keep you posted as the big day approaches, so you’ll never find yourself setting up camp in the doghouse. And if all these dates come to nothing, you can always capitalise on her inevitable bout of birthday depression with a complementary booty call!

BlackJack Helper
Practice your mental arithmatic and card shark skills on your phone, then whisk your date to the local casino to dazzle her for real. You’ll look every inch the high roller at the card table, and she never needs to know the drinks are free while you’re playing!

Top Lists
With top tens of the greatest music, books and films in your pocket at all times, you’ll never struggle to find a romantic gift for your date. If the evening’s going badly, you could even consult its top tens for conversation-starters. You never know, it might unearth something you’ve got in common!

AccelaStudy French
