About this app
Roost brings back old school messages with carrier pigeons and snail mail. You send a note, a bird picks it up, and it flies across the world to your friends. No instant delivery. No read receipts ten seconds later. Just a little bird in the air, carrying your words, taking the time it takes.
Watch yours and your friends birds fly in real time around the world. Be in the moment. Send something and go live your day. When your bird lands, it lands.
BUILD YOUR ROOKERY Catch birds of every feather. Your favorite New York Pigeon, rare cardinals, mythical phoenixes. Every one has its own speed based on their real speeds. Feed them, level them up, watch your flock grow.
REAL MAPS, REAL FLIGHTS Every delivery flies a real route across a real map. Track your bird as it goes. See where it is, how far it's come, when it's landing.
FRIENDS, NOT FEEDS No algorithms. No endless scroll.…

Independent evidence report
Evidence and review signals
This is where the page changes from an app-store listing into an evidence report: findings, important reviews, pricing and a dated history.

What we measured
Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.
Each line is a measurement, published as a measurement. Where we have not looked, the line says so rather than reading as a zero.

Themes reported by reviewers
No theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
80–89% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence about the app, not a finding about it.

What the analysis found
App-specific findings, grouped by what each one rests on. How they are graded lives on its own page.
Context 1
Measured and published because a reader would want to know — deliberately not a charge. The measurement alone does not show a harm.
Cheapest and priciest options are far apart
The disclosed in-app purchases span an unusually wide price range. Published as context: the cheapest and priciest items may be different kinds of product entirely, so the spread alone deducts nothing.
What we saw: In-app purchases run from USD 0.99 to USD 49.99 — a 50x spread across 10 items
