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 :)

It’s extremely safe for people of all ages which I find very nice. They also recommend me people I really relate to and just enjoy talking and writing to in general. 10/10 for me. It’s amazing

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.

I wasn't sure about using Global Penfriends when I started but I also wasn't sure how I would find pen pals on my own. Despite being unsure, it has been great! I've got three or four pen pals that I am in regular contact with and I really appreciate the detailed profile you fill out to help connect you with people. Having the online messaging as initial contact is also worth it's weight in gold! Can't recommend this enough for connecting you to pen pals!
