I love the overall safety on here. I have never been contacted by anyone outside of my preferred age group and I feel like it is the perfect level of anonymity considering that we are all strangers who want to find a penpal. I do wish however to some day be able to stay in contact with more people without buying anything. I would also love to add more profile information regarding hobbies and other topics of interest. I would also love appreciate a language learning swap filter (for example, I want to learn Spanish and therefore would love to teach a person who knows Spanish my native tongue). Other than that I’m quite happy and I actually like how there is no app to directly contact people 24/7, since I feel like the whole point of having PenPals in 2026 is to not be available all the time and instead rewind for your new friends what happened over a span of time.

Being able to communicate without paying. Simply making friends without them expecting something in return.
