Bottled is building a positive and supportive community, away from the toxicity prevalent in Social Media.

Try the modern version of sending a message in a Bottle - a new way to meet people, have fun, and have meaningful conversations!

This is how it works:

1) You write a nice message, put it in a bottle, and throw it to the sea. Your bottle will be randomly received by someone, somewhere in the world.
2) If that person decides to keep the bottle, you have a new friend and you can start chatting with each other!
3) And if your message gets released, your bottle will float back into the sea to be received by another random stranger!

On Bottled you can:
- Send a photo, voice, or text message to someone somewhere in the world.
- Follow the journey of your Bottles in real time
- Play "Spin the Bottle" for fun questions and challenges and chat with your new friends from all over the world!

Don't know where to start? Let our "ChatGPT powered" Cheeky Captain help you write a nice message!

Whether you are looking for a new friend, a penpal, positive support, or a genuine intellectual connection, let serendipity decide your chance encounters with Bottled!

Slowly or instantly, you chat at your own pace and without pressure; improve your wellbeing and mental health on this supportive community. *** If you need assistance, do not hesitate to contact us at [e-mail] ***

Ratings and reviews

Pretty good. It connects with a lot of people, though it would be nice if there was a level of fluency in a language setting to get matched with others who speak the language. I seem to continually get people who speak very little english, and its not a problem but it would be helpful to have a setting. Also, the system is great, and super easy to figure out. Though group chats would be cool if there was a setting where you could send multiple bottles for the same chat. Great app other than that

I like the app, but I wish I could be the only one able to contact whoever sent the bottles I'm keeping. Sometimes I just want to keep a nice bottle, but not necessarily start a conversation -- It's a bottle in the middle of the ocean after all. Overall, the app is good. Thank you for your hard work! (Edit: From 4 to 3 stars -- I don't know what happened after recent updates, but I can't receive any messages anymore. They show on notifications, but aren't in the app)

In terms of community & making friends, this is the best social app I've found. It's pretty easy to avoid less mannered people who don't understand what "goodbye" means, freeing you up to make friends with ease. In terms of the app itself, there are a lot of bugs, like chats not updating & bottles disappearing. There's also general issues like getting the same people/bottles over and over again. I know krakens send 50 copies, but I shouldn't be seeing 8 of those bottles with this many downloads
