Best apps for maintaining a long-distance relationship

Pair, Girlfriend keeper, Postagram, and wikiHow’s Love Survival Kit

Pair is like Facebook without the crowds. Pair up with one other user and the two of you can share photos, videos, real-time locations, and declarations of love, all presented on a private timeline. “For true romantics,” there’s also a feature called the thumb kiss, which causes both users’ phones to vibrate when the screens are touched simultaneously. (Free; Android and iOS)

Girlfriend keeper takes the worry out of a relationship by helping guys remember the important details, like the date they met and a girlfriend’s eye color. It’ll also automatically send her texts or emails, ostensibly from you, as often as every few hours if you dial the relationship setting on “intense.” (Free; iOS only)
