What our members say

The site is pretty good and reliable for finding penpals and I like how they set up the profiles so you can easily see other's interests and such. The site overall is pretty easy to navigate too. Only critique is that on mobile if I'm taking too long to put in pictures the website logs me out so that's a bit annoying. Other than that it's great!

Great website, loves the way it can connect people while simultaneously disconnecting people from the internet and doom scrolling. I think old timey letters should be brought back and this is the perfect way to do it.

The profile is checked by a real human, so it declines the possibility to be cheated by cheaters. I think it is a very good part of this website. But sometimes, it seems although somebody send me a message, there is no more notification in my email, and i also find this problem from my penpals.
