I love this website since I can easily find so many penpals! It’s easy to use and pretty safe which is great. The only thing I don’t like are the ads when using the site for free!
It is good as it gives the opportunity to meet people from other countries and find out more about foreign cultures
I appreciate the free features and safety of this site. Very good. Thank you! I just rejoined and I am meeting nice new people on here from all over the world.
It already sent me a match, but I didn't notice it until a year ago! Hehe, it was so speedy, but fun
I think they are amazing by letting you connect with people all over the world. I like to connect with different cultures and learning how they live they think and also to give other people a chance to see how other cultures live and how we live our every day lives.
after trying many with disspointing results, i tried global pensfriends and i am happily writing letters to an exchange penpal!!
I can't really put into words how much i love receiving snail mail!!! As soon as i find one in my mailbox i have to stop everything, get in a cozy spot and read and lose myself in my letter - i even love pouring over the envelope, writing paper - everything about it!! Thanks for hosting this site where i can fulfill my snail mail dreams and make new friends around the world!! :) :)
I really love how this work. This is really a convenient website to use. We can find lots of pan pals who have same interests.
I have connected with lovely pen pals so far and will continue to participate, letter writing brings me such joy, connections with strangers that can become life long friends!
The overall idea is really good. But you could bring some UX improvements. Make it more obvious how to use the ‘post received’ ‘post sent’ feature. The members who gave permission for their address to be used for snail mail credits forget and then they get super surprised when they received a letter. Make it more prominent as well. I inderstand the business model of display ads, but on mobile it almost blocks certain touch areas that are important to the flow. So give more space and overlap less the banners with the essential actions. But overall I really like the platform.
