Welcome to Birdy — your companion for disc golf rounds, scores, and progress. You’re early, and we’re glad you’re here. Birdy is still spreading its wings: new ideas ship often, and you help decide what it becomes. Expect the occasional rough edge — and a team that’s listening. Play the way you actually play Pick a course, start a round, and keep score in a flow built for the bag and the tee pad — not buried in menus. Your Birdy rating Finish casual and ranked rounds to grow a Birdy rating that reflects how you’re playing. Add PDGA or DG Metrix ratings in your profile anytime so we can match you more fairly as smart pairing rolls out. Friends & competition Connect with friends, see how you stack up, and stay in the loop as more social and competitive features land. What’s coming (from our roadmap — no spoilers on everything): • Smarter matchmaking — less random chaos • Leagues & seasons • Stats that feel as good as a clean chain hit If something wobbles, tell us — early players are co-pilots. Birdy Club (optional subscription) Birdy is free and stays free — every feature works without paying. Birdy Club is an optional auto-renewable monthly subscription that unlocks cosmetic extras (bigger pixel canvas, pro drawing tools, gold frame, name colors and extra avatar slots). The price is shown in your local currency in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings after purchase.
