Messages travel at 110 mph, the fastest carrier pigeon ever recorded. The bird leaves immediately and declines to hurry.
The app can tell you the moment your bird lands, and the moment it sits down somewhere with a bagel. A browser tab cannot.
Free on both. Same bird, same speed, same refusal to hurry.
Honestly, there is no practical use for this.
Sometimes the bird has an incident. It gets tired, or is clipped by a plane, or finds a bagel. It sits down a while, then carries on. Your message still arrives, just late and with an apology. Longer flights go wrong more often.
Two centuries of progress in telecommunications, carefully undone.
Slower than email on purpose, which turned out to be the hard part.
