Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Joining is the best thing I ever did. I would highly recommend to anyone wishing to find a penal
Its great to meet people from around the world. Learning about different cultures and experiences enriches lives.
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.
very good, I like to browse and see how are people like me who enjoy writing, reading, snail mail ecc
It’s a really good website and super easy to finish people to talk to!But the only issue is the communication, you have to constantly refresh the website just to see if you’ve had a message or not and I get you can use emails but it’s still a pain to go on emails every single time I’m wondering if I’ve gotten a message back.And then it’s also very annoying when people don’t reply because their account has been inactive for a while but it doesn’t state that anywhere or suddenly alert the person in a better way that a have a message after a really long time.over all an amazing website and I’ve gained a lot of penpals from it!
The website is quite easy to navigate. Would like a smaller character limit on profile though. Another nice feature would be an option to add ways to get into contact like email, discord, Instagram or whatsapp.
i found a snail mail pal safely and well and multiple e pals whilst using this site so it's good
I made friends from different parts of the world, found some interested in snail mail, even mail art! I'll recommend a 100 percent !
I love to write letters to penpals I did this years ago so I thought I'll give it ago again. I'm a mother and a grandmother now.
I love the overall safety on here. I have never been contacted by anyone outside of my preferred age group and I feel like it is the perfect level of anonymity considering that we are all strangers who want to find a penpal. I do wish however to some day be able to stay in contact with more people without buying anything. I would also love to add more profile information regarding hobbies and other topics of interest. I would also love appreciate a language learning swap filter (for example, I want to learn Spanish and therefore would love to teach a person who knows Spanish my native tongue). Other than that I’m quite happy and I actually like how there is no app to directly contact people 24/7, since I feel like the whole point of having PenPals in 2026 is to not be available all the time and instead rewind for your new friends what happened over a span of time.
Start finding penpals and new friends from all around the world.
