I think it’s amazing for meeting friends from abroad, whether abroad means out of your state/province or out of your country! I’ve been using it for a while now and it’s been incredible. Thank you so much for allowing me to meet and make so many friends safely ❤️

If this was an app it would be a lot easier to use and you would have even more people using it. Love it!

I originally signed up for this site out of boredom, and I've never expected to make such good friends on here! All the people are very friendly, and they respond quickly most of the time! The only thing that kind of bothers me is that you can only see your last 5 active conversations, unless you pay. Other than that, it's amazing!
