I opend my account this year and I am so happy to say that I have now a couple of very good pen pals I've been in contact with the whole year. This was such a great website to meet wonderful penpals!
i found a snail mail pal safely and well and multiple e pals whilst using this site so it's good
It is super easy to use and safe and I would recommend this to a lot of people even my friends in case they want their own penpal
I joined because my sister had joined while searching up how to get a snail mail penpal. She found this awesome site- and now she has something like 7 penpals! It's really nice because it's safe, really fun to communicate with others, and Awesome!!!
I can completely relate to how momentous this is. Finding a friend from another country has been a dream of mine since childhood, and seeing that dream finally come true feels so fulfilling and special. It’s amazing to share that connection across distances!
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.
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 have connected with lovely pen pals so far and will continue to participate, letter writing brings me such joy, connections with strangers that can become life long friends!
This is such a cool site, well managed and I would even say needed in today's world. Its nice to have a place where I feel safe making friends from afar, especially for this art form of letters which seems to outdated to most people. Love it!
