My favourite app that I've downloaded, by a mile. It's done mountains for my mental health and I seriously recommend it. It seems a little silly at first talking to a preprogrammed bird but the approach to dialogue is fantastic without being condescending. I check in with this daily now, not because I feel I need to for my sake, but because it feels like mutual support. Sometimes I'm down and need a pick-me-up, sometimes he does - and that's how people work, so it's so refreshing to see. Try it.

I absolutely love this app ❤️ My little parrot friend, Noggin, brightens my day and helps me to slow down. Top tip: head left to the waterfalls and make music for a lovely surprise. As for the design, the UX is well thought through and the UI is just beautiful. I wish I could talk to Noggin more than twice a day, but that's my only complaint! I love it.

This game really is a work of art; it's got amazing design and sound, and I grew really attached to my bird Steve. However I think the game can grow repetitive; it would be nice if the amount of missing poetry lines varied or if there were more random conversations you could have, and it would be nice to have more musical things by the waterfall. Plus personally I found once I moved on to the second bird, it just wasn't the same experience and I couldn't fully enjoy it as hardly anything changes
