I give the low rating to get your attention, I’ll change it when the purchases works. Thank You! **Developer response:** Hi Divo, unfortunately we have sold out of all our bottles! We're working on an update now to reflect that. Sorry for the trouble! ### 5/5 — Tidings *2017-09-07, version 1.0.6* Not received my product yet, but I'm sure it'll be great. It certainly looks cool! Ordered a Tidings Message to my fiancee for her birthday, I know she's going to love it. The team were also really helpful when I contacted them, thanks! Can't wait to see it soon ### 5/5 — Totally Charming and Unique *2017-09-01* I bumped into this app in an ad on Facebook, and it sparked my curiosity. The app is just as sweet as it can be. The product is wonderfully hand crafted, and this is what the recipient said... "That was the most fun gift ever!!! How cool!! And I loved the poem. Thank you, dear friend!" I knew the idea was great, but wondered about the "quality" of the whole thing... "Was it special, or sort of 'cheapy'? Her response... "It is!!!! Very special. It came in a very unassuming brown box. The return address was hand written from New York, NY. The label looked like someone printed it at home. Inside the lid a heart was drawn and there was something wrapped in a lot of paper tied with a red and white string. The bottle itself is cute. There is sand in it and little seashells. I had no idea who sent it until I got the message out of the bottle. It was a very fun and unique gift! Thank you!" This created just the right kind of "magic" one would expect. A little bit of mystery mixed with a nice, little surprise. So far, I've sent two, and I plan to send a lot more. It's. Just. Sweet. ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Excellent... beautiful! *2017-09-01* Great service. The product was delivered very fast. ### 5/5 — So easy *2017-08-31* I was so lucky to find this app while it was free, I downloaded it and went into the app without any intentions of using it at the time, but it was so beautiful and easy to use that I created the message, hit the Apple Pay option and sent my message in the bottle right away, I later contacted them by chat (near midnight), and and got a message back from them this morning, and had a back and forth conversation with a real person and about changes I wanted to make, unfortunately I was unable to make any changes because they processed the order so rapidly that it's already on it's way. Make sure you put who it's from and your message because this is something I failed to do and was too late to edit. ### 1/5 — Not iPad friendly *2017-08-27* Not iPad friendly. Only displays in portrait. My iPad keyboard case doesn't function standing up on end. Please fix. ### 5/5 — Tidings: 👍🏻 *2017-03-07* Excellent product, app and superb support from the team. Bonus points from me for delivering it at V-day:) The product itself is beautifully made with good materials being used. The app experience was almost flawless (had a minor bug) and I especially liked the simplistic design of the app. Support from Omar was friendly and superb. Will use their services again and I personally recommend them. ### 5/5 — Perfect gift! *2017-02-07, version 1.0.4* I got one of these for my girlfriend. It looks great. Cute idea. Great customer service. Would recommend. Simple as that! ### 5/5 — Loved it *2017-01-29* Saw this on product hunt. Had to download it. Overall experience was amazing - very well designed and onboarding was great. Only suggestion - add some social links so I can stay up to date with you guys. Great job Omar and Co 👍👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — MD *2017-01-28* What a great App and beautiful gift to share in many endless occasions with family, friends and people you love. I love it..Massage in a bottle...share it !!! ## Frequently asked questions about Tidings ### What is Tidings?
