Ratings and reviews

I have found a lot of penpals to write but most of them quit writing within a month or two, I understand people get busy. I don't like how one avatar item or one stamp can cost over 50 coins when the videos only give me under 10 each time a gift pops up. However, the app works wonderfully. My only real complaint now is that it added AI, as if we need it.. it's stealing fresh drinking water and apps just use it willy nilly.

I was looking for an app where I could make friends on because nobody wants to be my friend at school, but most apps were where I get ghosted or flirted with. I came across this app, and a year later, I have found a few friends I can write to just from my phone and time as it goes across the border. This way of communicating feels meaningful and beautiful. Though people say that "writing letters is outdated," it's not outdated in my book. Thank you, Slowly.

This app is a treasure! I have mainly used it for language practice and I find that it's a great method because you get to have real conversations without the pressure of coming up with a response quickly. While some conversations lasted longer than others, I found everyone to be kind and not judgemental. I recommend it to anyone who is curious about other cultures, is learning a language, or just wants to replicate an old school penpal experience.
