What our members say

This website has allowed me to meet so many kind friends and new, unique people! It's safe as well, I feel as though their safety measures make meeting strangers online a whole lot less scary and suspicious lol.

I've been using this app for a while now, and it's been such a rewarding experience. I've met some wonderful penpals from different parts of the world who share similar interests and values. The platform is user-friendly and makes it easy to find and connect with people who are truly interested in meaningful conversations. What I appreciate most is the diversity of members, each with unique stories and backgrounds. The app really encourages long-term friendships, whether through traditional snail mail or digital exchanges. It's been an amazing journey to learn about different cultures, share experiences, and build connections that feel sincere. If you're looking for a way to meet like-minded people and start meaningful friendships, this app is definitely worth a try!

I find it a safe format to chat to people world wide, I had one issue with someone who immediately wanted me to change to another format to chat even when I decline saying I was happy to chat on this site he kept asking to change sites saying this was too hard to use, he was ultimately removed due to multiple request to multiple people

Like any site you need to be cautious, but I can honestly say that I shave had most pleasant experiences, with the loveliest of people.

It helped me contact a few friend abroad. But without the upgrade you can only view your last 5 active conversations. Thats a bit of a shame. But over all: good and clear website

I find it good, it's cool and safe to connect with new people, the only thing that I find unpractical is that I have to sign in every time I open the website.
