What our members say

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.

Growing up i struggled with talking to people face to face but having a site where i don't have to be face to face really helps and it feels much calmer than public xx

I love this platform! It brought me some amazing new friends and a long lost passion and hobby for making snail mail. I really enjoy it so so much. And it gave me so much. So much more fun than all the digital contacts in this world, absolutely recommend it to anyone!!!

Well-designed, safe site. No spam, so far. I have enjoyed meeting people from all over the world and also in my own country.

I have made some good connections, even with limited time available to participate. I have had a chance to learn more about places I may never get to visit. It reminds me that even with different cultures, there are common threads that bind us all together.
