Send messages the old-fashioned way — by bird. Your messages are carried by a virtual pigeon that flies at 110 mph, delivering based on the real GPS distance between you and your friend. A text across town? A few seconds. A message across the country? Hours. But not every pigeon makes it. With a 0.2% chance of getting lost mid-flight and ±25% speed variance, every message is a small adventure. **Features:** • Real-time pigeon tracking as your message flies • GPS-based delivery times at 110 mph • Whimsical pigeon fate system — some birds get distracted • Add friends to your flock and manage your aviary • Parchment-themed design inspired by old-world correspondence No read receipts. No instant delivery. Just a bird, a scroll, and the open sky. Pigeon Keeper is a $2.99/month auto-renewing subscription. Your pigeons never die, conversations can always be revived, and you receive 10 pigeons when you join. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings.
