iBatko is an innovative and unique chat application for the iPhone and iPod touch devices. Its primary goal is to allow you to experience the pure joy of meeting new and interesting people from around the world just by hitting the Meet a Stranger button while waiting in a traffic jam, or being bored, or just want to chat with somebody.

- No registration is required

- Just one tap away from starting a chat

- Everyone is COMPLETELY anonymous and no personal data is shared although, if you like the person on the other side nothing stops you from sharing your e-mails and becoming friends

FAQ

~Q: am I really anonymous?
~A: Yes, completely. We dont even require you to enter a nickname, so nobody can identify you. Also, the other side cant get a location-specific information about you like an IP address, because there is a master chat server that everybody connects to and it filters this information.

~Q: I just met this amazing girlguy in the chat, but forgot to ask for herhis e-mail. Please, check your server logs and help me find it! I really want to meet herhim again.
~A: Sorry. We dont keep any logs of the chats. We dont even keep logs of the IP addresses, which connected to each other, and this is not going to change, because its cheaper this way. We cant tell who you are or who you talked to. Its just... not possible. You should have asked herhim while you could.

~Q: When I enter a chat, the application just stays on the Waiting for somebody to join message and nobody ever joins. What happens?
~A: Probably you are one of the first users of this app and there are still not enough users to chat to. This will change after iBatkos first day in App Store passes, so just give it a little more time.

~Q: Whats up with the application icon?
~A: Thats me the developer. Thats a long story, but heres the short version:
On 6th of May, me and a colleague of mine were sitting in a bar and talking about App Store. I dont know how exactly we went there in the talks, not in the bar, but at the end he was trying to convince me that Apple were never going to approve an application, which had an icon with my face on it. So I said: lets try it! and here we are... Then I decided that this app should be fun and do something useful and the idea was born.

~Q: Are you going to remove your face from the icon in the next version?
~A: Yes! Just say that you want it to be changed in your user review and if there are enough votes Ill change it.

~Q: Are you going to improve iBatko in the future?
~A: Absolutely YES! Theres already a list with features for ver 1.1

~Q: What does Batko mean?
~A: It means a bigger brother in Bulgarian.

~Q: So, whats the connection between a chat application and a bigger brother?
~A: Ill need some more time to think of a good answer.
