What our members say

I originally came to this site in search of an Irish or Scottish penpal. Instead, I was contacted by a very interesting gal in Toronto, Canada! We wrote back and forth by email for over a year.

Easy way to connect with others from all over the world. Can learn about other cultures if you choose those with different cultures to your own.

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.
