c’est génial !!

cette appli mérite de devenir le nouveau réseau du moment !!

Brilliant idea

Love the idea of pen pals in today’s day and age it’s a nice way to meet new people from across the globe and it’s nice having the time gap whilst my bird is flying, brings the same excitement as sending and waiting for real letters 🙂

This game is genius.

This game is awesome, me and my siblings are were messing around on this game weekend. And I have been obsessed over pigeons for like 5 months, this game is so PERFECT

This is an amazing safe alternative for a snail mail penpal!

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.
