This penpalling website has helped me make safe, fun connections with people from all over the world that I wouldn't have met otherwise. Overall, a very good site!
Was looking to get back to writing and corresponding. Loved having a penpal as a kid and was happy to find one within 1 week of signing up. The website needs some updating and a more pleasant UX/UI experience but its a great service.
I really like that GPS keeps the platform well-monitored, safe, and clean. It provides a great environment for finding connections. Going forward, I would love to see a larger variety of penpals to choose from in my category, but overall it remains a wonderfully reliable site.
I love this website & its purpose! I have made many very sweet penpals here and enjoy the hobby. Meeting people, even without any premium memberships is super easy. Connecting over other Apps later on once one got to know each other should also be possible, to stay in contact better. (getting notifications from their messages, reacting to posts/ stories) Maybe a great alternative to add would be people being able to upload posts to their own profile to show their personality a little better.
very easy to use and you meet such friendly and wonderful people, i have had a great experience so far
This website is really good. I like how it checks if every user is safe and I never met a fraud here.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I first joined but I've made several wonderful friends & it's been a great experience so far.
I have enjoyed meeting new people and hearing a bit about how people live in other parts of the world.
This website has helped me make friends from all over the world, the rules they implement help ensure that everyone is safe!
I have found new friends here and absolutely love getting to know them and learning about the places they live and sending and recieving gifts with them. I've found lifelong friends.
Start finding penpals and new friends from all around the world.
