Couples Checklist: Date Night
Tonight's plan, ready to go
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: a road trip every Monday, a fresh date idea every Thursday, and what's on near you this weekend. Tonight's plan is already waiting.
The Couples Checklist is the easiest way to stop saying "we should go there" — and actually go.
Free for both of you. No subscription, no trial.
TONIGHT
Open the app and the night is already planned: three stops near you, timed, with the walk between them. Tap "We're in," shuffle, or see it on a map. Not tonight? Plan it for Friday, or keep the idea so it isn't lost. Already have a date today? It's waiting at the top.
A NEW IDEA EVERY THURSDAY
A fresh date idea or road trip lands at the top of Tonight each week. Past drops stay in the archive.
THIS WEEKEND
Shows, concerts and events near you, in 53 cities across the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Add one to your plans in a tap, or build a whole night around it.
DISCOVER
Every kind of place near you on one map — restaurants, bars, dessert, museums, parks, shows, and more. Tap a kind and the map lights up. Tap a pin and answer three things: been? want? plan it? "Then go to" pairs something to do with dinner a short walk away: karaoke first, then steak.
ANY TOWN
Search "Bartaco, Port Chester" and it's on your list and your map. Works wherever you are, or wherever you're about to visit.
TRIPS
Road trip of the week: every Monday, a new two- or three-day getaway, already planned. Or plan your own — one place, a road trip, a city hop or a day trip. Stay an extra night, skip a stop, add one, save it for later, and fix the record when you're home.
SAVED
Your ideas sorted by the night — tonight, nights to plan, trips, dinner & drinks, shows. Rails, not one long list.
MEMORIES
Tick a place as been-there and add the photo right then. Every night out, by day and on a map. Your date passport fills in as you try every kind of date.
THE "US" TAB
Your relationship at a glance: an anniversary countdown, your date-night streak, and shared rewards you're working toward together.
BUILT FOR TWO
Add your partner and everything is shared — the ideas, the plans, the memories. One list you both can see.
Stop scrolling. Start dating again.

Plan a whole trip, not just a night. Road trips now come with stops, drive times and a cost estimate. Each month brings a featured route near you, every Thursday a new idea picked for what you two like, and each weekend a row of events nearby with dinner and drinks lined up around them. If you've already planned tonight, it's the first thing you see.
3.3 3d ago
A whole new look — and a new front door.
• Tonight: open the app and the night is already planned — three stops near you, timed, with the walk between them. Tap "we're in" or shuffle.
• Discover: every kind of place near you on one map. Tap a kind, the map lights up. Tap a pin for Been · Want · Plan.

• Search any town — "Bartaco, Port Chester" puts it on your list and your map.
• Not tonight? Plan it for Friday, or keep the idea so it isn't lost on a Tuesday.
Plus a dark new design, fixes for city search zoom and map tiles, and faster loading everywhere.
3.2 Oct 5
Tonight now plans nights out of the places you two already saved.
- From your list: pick it and tonight is built from your own saved spots nearby, starting with the one you've been meaning to try the longest.
- Save just this spot: tap any stop to keep that one place for later, without committing to the whole night.
- Curated picks: our hand-made lists, turned into two and three stop nights you can shuffle.
- Somewhere else: plan a night in any city, for a trip or just for fun. If we don't cover it yet, we show you the nearest place we do.
- Shuffle never repeats: every shuffle is a night you haven't seen, and Back walks you to the one before.
- Add a stop: coffee, a meal, dessert, drinks, music, culture or outdoors, dropped into the evening in the right order.
- Change town: the card knows where you are, and one tap moves it to the town next door.
- We're in files the night under Locked in on Our Checklist, with its stops and a link straight to the plan.
- Tap any day on the Us calendar to see what's booked and change the time, the stops or the day.
- Trips are trips: a week away shows as a week, with "Day 3 of 7" when you tap into it, and anything you add lands in the trip.
- Us now holds your calendar, your next date and your milestones. Our Checklist is the meal wheel and your ideas.
- Faster to recover when the connection drops: sign-in and We're in tell you, instead of spinning.
Keep dating like it's new.
3.1 Sep 21
Open the app and your night is already planned.
- Tonight: the first thing you see is a real date near you - three stops, timed out, with walk times between them. Tap "We're in" and it's on your calendar.
- Pick your vibe: Bar crawl, Romantic evening, Walks & stops, or Activity + a meal - or let us surprise you.
- Make a night: put a plan on Friday, another on Saturday. Every stop is a suggestion you can drop, swap, or reorder - and your partner sees the same night.
- Discover honestly: each stop is tagged new to you, on your list, or been there. We lead with places you haven't done yet.
- Thousands of new date routes in 550+ cities and neighborhoods.
Keep dating like it's new.
3.0 Sep 20
Getting started is faster, and saving is one tap.
ONE TAP TO SAVE - every spot in a browse list now has a heart. Tap it and it's in your Ideas. No second step.
PICK YOUR KIND OF NIGHT - the first-run picker is now four simple choices: food and coffee, drinks and nights out, outdoors, culture and fun. Then we show you real places near you.
WORKS EVERYWHERE - if we haven't hand-picked your area yet, you get live map results instead of an empty list. Saving works the same.
SEND IT TO YOUR PARTNER - save a spot and we ask if you want to send it to them. One shared list, both of you adding to it.
SIGN-UP FIXES - clear messages under the field when something is off, screens that scroll on every phone, and Return submits the form.
Plus: smoother taps on the map filters, a Search this area button that never gets stuck, and a pile of fixes.
2.9 Sep 11
Let's Go got rebuilt from the map up.
FOUR DOORS ON THE MAP - Eat, Drink, Do and Lists now live down the left edge of the map. Tap one, its choices fly out over the map, and the whole pill line is gone.
SEARCH THIS AREA - wander the map anywhere and tap Search this area to pull that neighborhood in. Then narrow it with open now, open late, budget and time of day.
SEARCH THAT FINDS THINGS - rebuilt end to end. It looks where you're actually looking, it shows you the pins before you commit, and one tap adds a spot and plans it.
SHOW ME HOW - short guided walkthroughs for the map, lists, turning an idea into a planned night, memories, and trips. Each one turns up the first time you land on that screen, and they all live in Us > Help and support whenever you want them again.
PACKAGED DATES - whole evenings as ordered stops, not one spot at a time. Built city by city, behind the Lists door.
YOUR LIST HAS SECTIONS - Planned, Ideas, Travel and Done, instead of one long scroll.
DARK MODE - the whole app, after dark.
Plus: a refresh nudge when a new version is ready, pins that spread out instead of stacking, sheets you can drag, and a pile of fixes.
2.8 Sep 5
The big one: your map, reimagined.
YOUR PLACES FIRST - open Let's Go and see YOUR map: spots you've saved in green, nights you've lived in plum. Turn any idea into a plan in one tap.
THREE DOORS - Coupons, Partners, and Bucket Lists now live together. Browse 36 hand-picked collections, from NYC date nights to the couples bucket list.
THE COUPON BOOK (PREMIUM) - real bookable experience deals near you, updated daily.
GAME DAY - football season is here. The stadiums, and the bars that do them right.
GO AGAIN, EARN - return to a place you loved and earn bonus points. Being regulars pays.
A CALMER APP - your streak, your next date, and your story up top; everything else tucks away. Fewer notifications, by design.
Plus: buttons that say what they do (Plan it, Change date), faster maps, and a pile of fixes.
2.7 Aug 30
A calmer, smarter home for your date life.
ONE THING AT A TIME - the app now shows you the single next step that fits where you two actually are: save a first spot, give an idea a night, or get directions to tonight's date.
SOMEDAY, OR A NIGHT? - save a place with one tap, then choose: keep it as a someday idea, or put it on the calendar right there.
"HOW DID IT GO?" - after a date, one gentle card to save the memory while it's fresh.
DATE NIGHT MODE - on the day of a planned date, directions take the front seat.
Plus: a cleaner signup, local deals on venue cards, and plenty of small fixes.
2.6 Aug 26
A shorter, clearer welcome tour. You'll see how a date goes from idea to memory, and how your shared list, calendar and map fit together, before the app asks you to invite your partner. Not ready to invite them yet? Skip that step and pick it up any time from the Us tab.
2.5 Aug 21

SMOOTHER EVERYWHERE

Less tapping, more going places together.
1.9 Jul 16
