From the start Raven has always been about slowing things down and being intentional in the world — well now you can literally walk around your neighborhood and enjoy Raven as you go. A turtle in a post office? A pigeon in a library! Check out the map to see where collectible couriers are, then go outside and collect them! *Caw caw

PenPal is here! Join the PenPal pool and make a new friend :) All safe, anonymous, with smart matching, and as always — SLOW. Also some fun flourishes and style upgrades. Keep flying! *Caw caw

It’s a Raven revolution! We’re trying something new: exact travel times are now visible. So yes… that penguin really will take 5 hr 16 min to deliver your letter. C’mon, he needs snack breaks! Also a lot of design changes including 'Follow' mode where you can watch your carriers travel across the map hands-free. Attachments are easier too. Sending an audio message or adding a polaroid is now just one tap away. We’ve also added a new intro flow to help new Raveners learn their way around the app. Enjoy all the silliness of Raven, and please send a letter to the Nest with your thoughts... or bird jokes. *Caw caw

Clouds! Clouds! Clouds in the map! Also link previews in letters — whenever you send any kind of link in a letter you'll see a cool (raven-styled) preview for it. So it's much more fun to share songs and videos and whatever you want with friends. Also see which friends are already on Raven in the Search page + the option to invite new friends. Also some new backgrounds! And some bird fixes :) - Got rid of some jitteriness in the Chat page - Some cleanups in the Compose page - Update initial zoom in the World page - Fun image/video loading (like the old DVD screen!) - And more! *Caw caw

Trade some in for gold (in the carrier naming view) and get a new special carrier. And lastly, we've added the ability to read the last letter sent to you while you're in compose mode so it's easy to respond fully to your friends' letters. Just open the + icon and then click on the chat bubble. *Caw caw

Tired of writing in black ink? We've added lots of new pen colors to choose from! From blue to pink to yellow, write in whatever style suits you best! Enjoy :) Caw caw.

Today's Pick! Every day there will be a new character that you can unlock with feathers directly instead of just through hatching eggs randomly. Check the app each day, there might be a cat or an alpaca or an alien, who knows! There is also a new speed chart in the Castle to explain the different speeds of characters. And characters in the Castle now show how rare or common they are in tiers of Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary. Caw caw.

New fonts and backgrounds for letters! Send a letter in the style that feels like you :) Also... - Start a letter directly from the Castle by tapping a carrier - Tap on friends in the Map to write to them - The Raven ate some bugs...yum yum. Caw caw.

Send a Raven directly from the castle + some design enhancements! Also if you didn't catch the big update from before... New Characters! Hatching Eggs! We've added a bunch of new characters and changed the way that you can add them to your flock. Now you can purchase eggs with feathers, hatch them, and see what comes out! You might get a pigeon, a panda—even a vampire (mua ha ha!). Gaining feathers still works the same way by sending and receiving letters. But if you desperately DESPERATELY want more feathers, now you can purchase them. Caw caw.
