Overwhelmingly refreshing
Though limited in its capabilities, this app is very welcome in a world of instant messaging. If used correctly, the messages feel thoughtful and deliberate. The limitations of the service are also a strength. Only being able to send one picture at a time, as to not overload your pigeon, makes the experience of writing a letter with an accompanying image very thoughtful.
I think the payment side of things should be made clearer from the on. It took me a little while to realise that I did not need to pay for pigeons at the beginning. And all I had to do was add a friend.
Sharing a pigeon between the person you are sending messages to is a very nice touch, but paying for additional pigeons that are there to enable you to send more messages, twice as fast, distracts from the overarching premise of the app.
I would rather pay for my pigeon to have a fun looking hat, and individual individualised qualities, than for it to fly faster.
Currently, I am messaging one of my friends from Germany, while I am in Australia. Each message takes around 4 days to arrive.
If a pigeon were to die (an interesting addition to the app I will add) it would be a great feature to have a new pigeon be revealed (after a cooldown period or in-app-payment) to both of the participants of the conversation, showing what the pigeon looks like, and maybe some RNG type stats. For example. A standard pigeon could be your average New York pigeon, with average speed. Then a more rare pigeon could be one that flies a little bit faster. And another could be one that flies slower but can hold two or three images in a single message.
Each pigeon that you’ve used can be added to a collection and users that spend the most time on the app will be rewarded with accomplishments that can be cashed in at a pigeon marketplace to buy accessories for their pigeons, or upgrade their stats.
This will create a better user experience, while creating a broader option of revenue streams for their developers.
TLDR: good app, monetisation flawed, wish my pigeon could have hat.

Don’t
Worst app ever, won’t even allow me to create a profile. Don’t waste your time
Perfect, but…
…110mph for a Pidgeon??????? It’s to fast!
Commit to the bit
Cool idea and would have loved to use this app with my friend but if the whole premise of the app rests on real time carrier pigeons then the map and their speed needs to be accurate. The flight path 'arc' with sometimes change between north and south so you pigeon could be in one location once and then jump hundreds of km to a different location next. Also the speed of the pigeons is too fast. I know this would slow things down but if we're doing digital carrier pigeons then it needs to be realistic.

well trained pigeons
Reliable carrier pigeons service. The pigeons are well trained and consistently fly to destination. We have had only a few lost in flight, but that is to be expected on today’s challenging airspace. We are considering migrating all communications to this platform
Makes you happy
My friend sent me this and I have been laughing for 30 minutes while setting it up and sending my bird and reading its journey updates! Is it practical - no, but is it fun?- 100%!!!

Price of 3 pigeons ?
One Pigeon is 0.99, 3 pigeons should be 2.97, how and why it is 3.99 ? Where’s math?. Why would I go for set of three where Individual pigeons cost me less ? Am I missing something?
Good App though. I like the concept.

For the jokes
I love the idea if we’re being honest! I saw an review from LBDressler(?) and this person is right non of my family and friends(if there was) wasn’t thrilled to use it.. so i'd love the Pen Pal Option :D
10 seconds
It’s really fun to use but after a couple of times all of a sudden whenever I reply to the person the delivery is always 10 seconds..I hope it can be fixed
Great app with minor issue
Delightful app. I’m removing one star because if you start typing a message and accidentally swipe left, you lose your draft message! I hope the developer can fix this. Otherwise, fun to use.
love but ONE medium quam
i think this is such a fun idea, nothing complicated, but so enjoyable. i like that you can opt of location sharing and use a location that you pick. i dont think i get notifications though? i would like to receive a notification once i get a message. or maybe even a daily reminder to check the app bc otherwise ill forget.
one thing tho, the app icon. everything else in the app is simple and minimalistic. the app icon, im so sorry i just dont like it. im not saying it is 100% ai-generated, but it looks as so, which isnt a good look. many people are against use of generative ai, and the app icon is the first thing they will see. even if it isnt ai, the fact that people might think it is, will turn down potential users. i think changing the app icon to just a silhouette of a carrier pigeon will be a lot better for this app’s success.

Amazing
I once sent a pigeon to my friend across the road and within 1 minute of it being released it disappeared in the wind
Really Cool Concept
Send pigeons in real time at the speed of the world’s fastest pigeon!!
New Age of Social Media
I doth write this review whilst gazing upon the metaphorical pigeon that hath descended upon my humble stoup, bearing forth a friendly scroll. My mind hath become wholly entwined with thoughts of how magnificent this app truly be. So wondrous is it that my fellow companions now find themselves sending it amongst one another with great haste. Let there be no confusion amongst the kingdom: this may very well be the app of the year.

Truly Lovely
I downloaded this app because I thought it was silly, but it’s become a great way to have less instant gratification. We live in a time where every message is received as quickly as it’s sent, so having a message that I’m eagerly awaiting is always exciting.
