Listing changes AppTracker has observed for this app in this storefront — new versions, price moves, rating shifts, and store copy.
A whole new look. A lot more under the feathers + any fixes (scratchpad colors, recallable birds, auto-select courier, clutter, and more) - Misc fixes for berries and new letter UI - Fix for users that lose connection randomly and app does not recover - GIF Picker Fix - Pen-pal visibility fix - Sending... bug fix where it shows perpetual sending - New art for our bird pals from the Art Challenge! This is one of our biggest updates yet. We’ve redesigned Roost throughout, introduced new themes, improved battery efficiency, and worked through lots of the little frustrations you’ve helped us find. • A complete redesign Explore refreshed Messages, Flock, Rookery, Map, and Profile screens, along with redesigned bird details, shop pages, settings, and more. New layouts and clearer controls make your birds, letters, and friendships easier to keep up with. • Themes that follow your day Light mode is here! Choose Light, Night, or your device’s appearance, or let Roost change with your local time. Watch the sky move gradually through dawn, day, dusk, twilight, and night, with softly drifting clouds. • Battery and performance improvements We’ve reduced unnecessary loading. We’ve also improved loading and caching, including passport stamps, to make everyday browsing feel smoother. • Quicker sending and a more organized inbox Choose a default courier, see which bird will carry your message before sending, and set what happens when your usual courier is away. The refreshed inbox brings waiting activity into focus, adds sorting options, and makes hidden conversations easier to restore. • A refreshed bird Codex Explore redesigned collection progress, filters, and field-guide pages, with clearer distinctions between birds you’ve discovered and adopted. New discovery reveals give your collection’s milestones a little more celebration. • Better protection for unfinished messages Improved draft recovery helps you pick up where you left off after an interruption, including supported photo and drawing drafts. • Training fixes that matter Training eggs are now spent when you press Start, so opening a game to look around won’t cost you an egg. We’ve also improved reward submission and recovery, and corrected daily XP tracking. • More control over sound and feel Updated Sound & Haptics settings let you tailor feedback for message sends, bird care, and games. We’ve also refined feedback throughout the app and improved behavior with reduced-motion settings. Plus fixes and polish across pen pals, Nest invitations, message arrivals, larger text, and navigation. Thank you for every bug report, suggestion, and bird you’ve sent. You’ve helped shape this update. We’re excited for you to explore it.

About
Roost brings back old-school messaging with carrier pigeons, snail mail, and now handwritten letters. We call it Slowcial Media. Write a letter in your own handwriting, choose a courier, and send it across the world. Your bird picks it up, flies to its destination, and delivers it when it gets there. No instant delivery. No read receipts ten seconds later. Just a little bird carrying your words, taking the time it takes. Make pen pals around the world, play games with friends, collect birds, and build your own little rookery along the way. YOUR HANDWRITING, YOUR LETTERS Turn your handwriting into your own font and write letters that actually look like yours. Personalize your letters with animations and make something a little more special than another text bubble. PEN PALS AROUND THE WORLD Meet people from other countries, make new friends, and learn about life somewhere else. Send a letter halfway around the world and see who writes back. You never know who you'll meet. REAL MAPS, REAL FLIGHTS Watch your birds and your friends' birds fly across a real globe. Every delivery has a journey. See where your bird is, how far it's traveled, and when it's expected to arrive. BUILD YOUR ROOKERY Collect birds of every feather. Your favorite New York Pigeon, rare cardinals, mythical phoenixes, and plenty more. Each bird has its own speed and abilities. Feed them, train them, and watch your flock grow. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Challenge your friends to chess, Four in a Row, and other games while you wait for your letters to arrive. Play mini games to train your birds and help them fly faster. FRIENDS, NOT FEEDS No algorithms. No endless scrolling. Just your friends, your pen pals, and the birds carrying your words. Add friends by username, meet people from around the world, and stay in touch without feeling like you need to be on your phone all day. NEW BIRDS & REWARDS Collect daily rewards, discover new birds, and take part in special events. From limited-time birds to new ways to personalize your experience, there's always something happening in the rookery. Roost is a place to slow down, make friends, and have a little fun along the way. Send a letter. Let it fly. Go live your day.
