What our members say

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!

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.

I think they are amazing by letting you connect with people all over the world. I like to connect with different cultures and learning how they live they think and also to give other people a chance to see how other cultures live and how we live our every day lives.

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.

It's nice to meet real people and make friends. People speak very respectfully thanks to this website. And I made great friends named Max, Timothy and Alastair. This site is truly incredible. Gerçek insanlarla tanışıp arkadaş olmak çok güzel. İnsanlar bu Web sitenin sayesinde oldukça saygılı bir şekilde konuşuyorlar. Ve ben de Max, Timothy ve Alastair adında harika dostlar edindim. Bu site gerçekten inanılmaz bir şey.
