I'm very satisfied with the app, the idea and the mechanism itself. Its well thought thru, never buggs and people here are very polite and friendly. Would reccomend! Also the double verifying system, im really grateful for that, it makes the app minor friendly and exceptionally safe :)

I met a friend I love very much here. I am happy to use this place. Maybe it would be better. I cant see where there was a place to send emojis or stickers

If you don't want to pay, you can use the basic version quite well. However, 20% of other people's profiles are blocked.. But that's a fair price for the free version. I appreciate the ability to record sent and received letter mail.

It's a really easy website to navigate. The layout is pretty simple and easy to understand. As well as it is a very secure and I feel safe using it. I don't typically trust penpal websites easily but since people are actually lookin through profiles and have a system for when you're making new friends you understand online safety over personal info I feel safe on it. I also got to meet people both different from me and are similar to me in some ways I enjoy.

Very easy to navigate and kind of limited when your account isn't upgraded. But over time you can gradually make friends from around the world, or even selective regions.

I was house bound and wanted to reach out to others who may be going through the same crap I was and found a wonderful pen pal in another country who I have been communicating with since April.
