What’s on the smartphone agenda for February?

Etsy

Buying a gift could be as simple as going to a mall and picking something off a rack. But getting your loved one a special or personalised present is a thoughtful touch that makes a lasting impression. Etsy is a global marketplace for such unique and creative goods.
With the Etsy app, users can access a universe of distinctive items, from specific handcrafted pieces to vintage treasures. You can easily shop from thousands of one-of-a-kind items and find that perfect gift.
Easily browse, search or be surprised, as the app provides personalised recommendations for stylish jewellery, art, clothing and furniture that’re tailored to your taste.
The Etsy app allows saving items and shops as favourites for quick access and directly connects with shop owners to get questions answered. It also gives timely notifications when an order ships and lets users save Google Wallet or PayPal to check out swiftly and securely.

Paired

Much like physical and mental health, relationships are an area of our lives that require regular attention to stay in good shape. Paired is an engaging app that’s designed to gently nudge users and their significant others towards consistently having meaningful conversations.
Even the best relationships need time and energy invested in them, but deciding what to do specifically may not always come easy. The app’s features intentionally help boost communication, connection and intimacy between partners and make putting the work in fun and simple.
Paired offers daily questions, games and quizzes rooted in relationship science that are designed to strengthen and deepen connections. The app also features expert tips on how to build healthy relationship habits and resolve conflict, written by leading therapists and academics.
Furthermore, you can keep track of special moments and cherished memories together using its Timeline feature.
