About SameBoat
SameBoat is a chat app with a room for each of the 19 Seoul metropolitan subway lines. Choose the line you are riding and trade short bubbles that fade after a few seconds with others on the same line. On weekday rush hours your line becomes a team and competes against other lines in one-finger minigames. It is not a train-times or navigation app; it is a light way to make a commute less dull. It is sold on the Korean App Store only.
FAQ
Is there an app to chat with people on the same subway line?
SameBoat is one. You send bubbles of up to 20 characters in your line's car and they fade after a few seconds. There is no chat history and no 1:1 messaging.
Is SameBoat free?
Yes, it is free.
Which subway lines does it cover?
The 19 lines of the Seoul metropolitan subway.
When does the Line Battle happen?
On weekdays, one round opens each morning (6 to 10 AM) and evening (4 to 8 PM), Korea time. Each round has a short minigame, and everyone's records on a line combine into a ranking.
Do I need to sign in to send a bubble?
You can watch without signing in. To send, you sign in with Apple or Google and choose a nickname.
Why does SameBoat ask for my location?
Sending bubbles and joining the Line Battle unlock once your device location shows you are on that line. Location is used on the device only and is never sent to a server. Without it you can still pick a line and watch bubbles and rankings.
How are inappropriate bubbles handled?
You can tap a bubble to report it or hide that person. Profanity, sexual language, personal information and ad links are filtered before sending.
Who can use it, and where is it available?
You must be 14 or older. SameBoat is sold on the Korean App Store only, and on iPad it installs in iPhone-app compatibility mode.
