i love it, but most stuff u have to pay for and i never have more than one credit, but respectfully im not gonna pay and i still get penpals so honestly im not even gonna complain even though i technically did, great site!

Its easy to make connections i wish more people would take advantage of the sent and received option so can keep track and know whether a letter is on its way or if a penpal has just backed away for what ever reason.

This site is a great way to connect with awesome people from across the globe! My main complaint is that there's a limit to the amount of conversations you can have going at once. Also I have too many pen pals now, but I discovered that there's an option to suspend your account so new people don't contact you, which is a handy feature of the site! Overall, I would totally recommend!

I like the concept and the idea of it and I feel safe when I'm chatting with poeple. I would like to send photos in chats.

If this was an app it would be so much easier then you could get notifications if somebody added you or messaged back instead of logging onto the site every time. Otherwise its super easy
