I absolutely love this site!! I wanted to make friends from other places and who live in other cultures, and this site has just been perfect! I am also always so happy when someone reaches out to chat with me!! Amazing!! I also am so grateful for all of the steps taken to keep everyone happy, friendly, and safe!!

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.

I love this platform! It brought me some amazing new friends and a long lost passion and hobby for making snail mail. I really enjoy it so so much. And it gave me so much. So much more fun than all the digital contacts in this world, absolutely recommend it to anyone!!!

It’s good for making friends across the world. It gives you connections that can lead to something more like possibly travailing.

I love chatting with everyone on this site! Very interesting to see how others are in other parts of the world. Although it is a little slow meeting people to chat with, I still find this site very enjoyable! I also love how safe it is.
