## What is 99 Bottles!?

Annoy your friends! Enrage your enemies! Bore yourself to tears! This application does just one utterly pointless thing: it sings the entire song "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" (starting with 99 bottles and ending when no bottles remain) in an artificial-sounding computer-generated voice.

On the screen, 99 bottles are displayed. As the song reaches the phrase "take one down", you tap a bottle (or, in autoplay mode, a bottle is randomly chosen) and it is taken down and removed from the screen. The count of remaining bottles is also shown. So you can be bored watching the screen as well as listening to the song.

If 99 bottles is just too many — perhaps you're in a hurry? — you can start with fewer bottles in various amounts down to 1.

Please, for your own safety, if you must sing along, sing responsibly.

### 5/5 — great! but...

*2022-03-13, version 1.6*

i love the app and have had it since 2016 when i was still using an android. it's perfect! except...well i might be clueless but is there a way to play it in the background while my phone is locked? i would ask the developer himself but couldn't really find a way to get in contact with him, so i'll just have to ask here. 
again, this app: wonderful, terrific, amazing, an absolute necessity

### 5/5 — This app changed my life

The second I downloaded this app, my life changed for the better. This app gave me super powers. I can now see in the dark and walk on walls. I would give this app 100 stars if I could. This app is everything you could ever need ever. I can’t believe more people don’t have this app. I love this app. This app is my favorite thing. It’s not only my favorite app, but it’s my favorite thing in general.

### 5/5 — Quarantine Thrills

*2020-04-08, version 1.5*

I was feeling absolutely depressed due to having to stay inside of my dreary, lonely, sad home during this time of social distancing (due to COVID-19). I felt bored, like I had no purpose to keep waking each morning. Even the presence of social media, my family, or a few spare friends could convince me to get out of bed. One day, as I was laying upon my pillows, wrapped like a snug sushi roll in my grey and fluffy blanket, I found this app, suggested to me by the App Store. At first, I was suspicious. It certainly didn’t seem to be anything special. Boy, was I wrong! Ever since, the robotic (yet melodic) tune of this absolutely breathtaking song has been ringing beautifully through my ears. This truly has changed my life and turned my mood around. I would highly recommend this app to most everyone and, when I am allowed to see people again, will be suggesting it to every single person on the street! 99 Bottles 4Eva!!! 🍾🍾
