The crew rides shotgun. We answer the rest.
Get in touch
The fastest way to reach the crew is email. We’re a small studio, so you’re writing to an actual human — not a ticket queue that swallows your message whole.
Email us at ben@brokenbranch.dev. We aim to reply within two business days. For account or data requests, we confirm completion within 30 days.
Quick answers
We’re still building the thing, so nobody’s written in yet — these are the questions we expect once the crew hits the road. The full rundown lives on the homepage FAQ, in the crew’s own words.
- Is the long way free?
Skates: Nobody pays a cent today — we're still building the thing. At launch: seven days fully unlocked, card up front, and if you leave before day seven you pay nothing. After that it's $12.99 a month, $89.99 a year, or $249 once. The year works out to $7.50 a month. I've done the math. Take the year. - Is it safe to use while driving?
Skates: Yes — audio plays automatically, fully hands-free. But we're an entertainment companion, not a navigation app. Always use a proper GPS for directions. I'm saying this first because it matters. - Does it work in dead zones?
Scout: Yep — we pack snacks before we lose signal. The next few stories ride along in your pocket, so a missing bar never ends the trip. - Is it safe for kids?
Skates: Family Mode is in the build now — kid-friendly content only, no scares, no edge, just curiosity and laughter — and it's behind a PIN so little hands can't switch it off. Settings, then Family mode. - How do I delete my account or my data?
Macey: The door's right there — sign in, type your address back at me, and the account goes. Immediately, not in thirty days. No hoops, no "are you sure" five times. Your call, every time. Want a person to do it by hand instead? Email ben@brokenbranch.dev. Delete your account.
Found a bug? Help us squash it
When you write in about a bug, include as much of this as you can:
- What happened — and what you expected to happen instead.
- Steps to reproduce — what you tapped, in what order, right before it went sideways.
- Your device & OS — e.g. Pixel 8, Android 15.
- When it happened — the rough date and time helps us match it to our logs.
- A screenshot or screen recording — if you’ve got one, it tells the whole story.
Send it all to ben@brokenbranch.dev and we’ll dig in.
Privacy, terms & your data
We only collect what we need to run the app — and you can ask us to delete it any time. The details live here:
- Privacy Policy — what we collect, why, and how to get it removed.
- Terms of Service — the rules of the road for using the long way.
Still stuck?
Macey: “Whatever it is, just tell us. We’d rather hear about the weird stuff than have you give up on the drive.” Email ben@brokenbranch.dev — we read every one.
