What our members say

I enjoy using Global Penfriends. I've met gorgeous people. I feel save while using the website. It would be nice if there is an option to share electronic cards (like post cards) with penpals.

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!!!

I love GPF because it has an easy way to connect with others while getting to know just a little about them before making the connection. It seems to cater to everyone by allowing your choice of finding snail mail, epals, etc though I find not everyone looks at those preferences and you may make a connection that isn't looking for the same time of correspondence as you (which is a little annoying) BUT one of my best friends I made on this site is that situation and I wouldn't change it. I came on here looking for snail mail penpals and so have made a couple strong connections and largely left the site, except for one epal who I sign on from time to time to message. The website seems to be updated regularly, they put a lot of care into their security and features. 100% worth a try, especially since its fully functional without paying money! (Though I paid for a time to support the makers, the free version really gives me all I need).

individuals may be different in color, size, interest and taste but at the end of the day getting to know others is always a welcome feeling.
