It's also great for friends! How it works is basically you have a bunch of birds in your flock, you can send them to penpals and friends. Once the birds go to someone else, they can use your bird to send a message to anyone or you can recall your bird! I currently have a penpal in China, it's great! It takes like a week for it to deliver, it really feels like real postal. My specific address isn't shared and it feels very safe to talk to strangers. Very cool and much prefer this to "Pidge". there are actual real species of birds, you can also play mini games to upgrade these birds to fly faster. They have some snails and turtles and bats too! So many awesome features and it's free! Beautiful, unique app, I cannot praise it enough.

Honestly? Revolutionary. Well above the status crow. I never thought I would leave a review about this app. I’ve had it for months now and I haven’t left one. It is a delightful app but, as stated previously, I do not leave reviews. Then why, you might ask, am I writing this review here? Pray tell, my good peoples, what do you think happened? There was an update, of course. Lo and behold, it is 3am and I am avoiding the dishes so I responded to my penpals and then did the update. Whilst doing so, I decide to read the patch notes, and do you know what glorious phrase I find there? “General pigeon maintenance” and truly I did not know that three words at the end of a patch on an app I use to send penpal letters via bird at the speed of bird would make me laugh so hard you could almost convince me I have asthma by the way I was coughing at the end. Do I know why it is funny? No. Will I now think of the words “general pigeon maintenance” every time my brain does something stupid and I have correct myself? Absolutely, yes I will. So thanks for that…and also this place to perch myself and sing my thoughts for a while! Love the app!! Can’t wait to see what heights it’ll soar to!

Love the app, but there are a few frustrating things about it. The new location selector has potential, but it is very sensitive. It’s hard to scroll through locations without accidentally clicking on one, it took me probably 30 different tries just to scroll through options and select a location that didn’t come up right away in the search options. Also, there are 249 stamps you can get, but the Bouvet Island one and some of the other remote islands are glitched, so you’ll probably only be able to get 247 or so if that’s what you’re playing for. Also, the new location updates created some sort of bug where the app doesn’t recognize certain places that it should have available, so you’ll either get a lot of error messages if you can select a location, or you won’t be able to select a location at all, even if it was a previously available area from past versions of the app. I’ll update this review if a new update changes what I mentioned here
