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 ❤️

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 love chatting with everyone on this site! Very interesting to see how others are in other parts of the world. Although it is a little slow meeting people to chat with, I still find this site very enjoyable! I also love how safe it is.
