What fanciers say

Real, named feedback from fanciers using PigeonRaceAnalyser — posted with their permission. No paid reviews, no invented names.

“PigeonRaceAnalyser helps me tremendously. The race prediction makes preparing for the race ahead so much easier, and knowing when to expect the first birds gives me real peace of mind. In my opinion, it's the best thing that's happened to pigeon racing.”

— Jaco Faul, Gauteng, South Africa

“After a few chats with Morne and sharing our data from the Ellisras 360 OLR and our union (Central Limpopo), the app was updated — and straight away it was very accurate for both the OLR loft and the SLIM union. Adjusting for the Ellisras heat factor sharpened it even further. We look forward to using PigeonRaceAnalyser for the races ahead.”

— Richie Pieterse, Central Limpopo, South Africa

“A very handy app. It gives a really accurate idea of when to expect the race birds home. Congratulations — it's a WINNER!”

— Marius Klingbiel, Gauteng, South Africa

“PigeonRaceAnalyser has become an invaluable part of my race-day preparation. Being able to analyse the weather conditions along the entire race route and get a predicted arrival time at my own loft takes so much of the guesswork out of racing. It gives me a clear picture of the race ahead and helps me know when to expect the first birds. A fantastic tool for the modern pigeon fancier.”

— Smit Racing Lofts, South Africa

The names above are the ones happy to say it out loud. Plenty more use it quietly — it’s a secretive sport, and nobody likes to hand a rival an edge. Fair enough; the track record speaks for itself.

Judge it on the numbers, not the praise

Kind words are easy. The harder test is whether the model is right, so every race call is published before the birds are released and then measured against the actual winning velocity — misses included. That record is public: Model vs Reality — the track record.

Try it on your own race

Put in your liberation point and your loft and see the winning velocity it predicts, for any union, anywhere. Free, no sign-up, and your data stays on your device.
