Subscription seems to me won't work well because the churn rate of such app will be quite high (folks will play few weeks and learn basic "quests").
Using data is very controversial as can be seen in comments - also not sure how to monetize it well.

> Being spontaneous requires energy. A lot of people lack energy but still loves their partner. The point is that you have a limited amount of energy, but you chose to dedicate some of it to something your partner would like. Optimising by reducing the amount of energy you use to do that defeats the purpose.
Uh huh. Try having a couple kids and then apply this kind of reasoning. There simply isn’t enough time or energy to do everything you want for your family. If you can leverage technology and good ideas to enhance your experiences and relationships, do it.

Do they? Most marriages end in divorce, and most people I know in long term relationships are miserable. I think most people don’t manage fine and keeping a relationship strong is a skill that takes practice and deliberate effort to master.
Most marriages do not end in divorce. What nonsense.
I can just see it, “Did you buy me these flowers I was it that stupid app?”
If your SO would be annoyed at your romantic gesture because you got the idea from an app you might have other problems in that relationship. Generally, I find women appreciate the gesture, even if the idea isn't entirely original. People just like that you think about them.
One of the most important characteristics in a partner is authenticity. If they didn't think of getting you flowers themself (and had to use an app), is that real?
I think this deserves some expansion. In receiving flowers, the value the recipient gets is not so much the flowers themselves, but by what the gift betrays about your mind state. This authentic information about your mind state is what makes the act “real”. So it is reasonable to consider the act less real or even a bit deceptive if the mind state that you’d first expect the act to imply (they care about me and thou…

But then why use an app at all then, you could get them a used bottlecap and "it's the thought that counts"
I'd love to try it but it says it's not available in my country (United States)

I think your looking at this wrong. They care about you enough that they wanted to keep the relationship interesting and not fall into the trap of complacency that's so easy to fall into as time rolls on. Enough that they took steps to remind themselves not to take you for granted, and still enough that they take those reminders to heart. It's not like getting flowers or planning a picnic or whatever becomes zero eff…
