A lovely platform, It’s been really good for me trying to make pen friends and I’ve found it an extremely helpful resource

It's a nice platform to find friends around the world. It's also safe since it doesn't allow us to give social medias or other personal details

its really good i've made lots of friends but there are lots of banner ads blocking the screen and a lot of important words like the post received I can barely see anything there. ik u need money and I don't mind them too much, but pls at least lemme see the words. and pls lemme see more than the last 5 active conversations maybe 10 for free? then for more u get premuim? I want to talk to all my friends :( pls fix those things then u get 5 stars. Everything for free.
