Adorable configuration and nostalgia!

Such an adorable way to write like old school days, passing notes back and forth with friends when the teacher wasn’t looking. Thanks for the nostalgia!

App crashing while writing

The app consistently crashes while I’m replying to someone. I really like this app and its purpose. I’m updated to ios18, what can I do so I can use the app?

Response from developer

Hello KingKaijuGojira (love the name, by the way!), We’re truly sorry for the frustrating experience you’ve had with the app. We’ve received your crash reports and want you to know we’re working tirelessly to resolve them. As a small team, we didn’t have the chance to fully optimize for iOS 18 just yet, but we promise to have it fully compatible in the next update (or two). Your issue should be resolved by then and we hope that your updated rating and review will reflect your satisfaction once everything is running smoothly. Thank you for your patience and understanding and most importantly, for staying with us. We love you

Brilliant App; Beautiful Approach

I’ve been using this app for about 3-4 months now, my niece and I send each other letters every other week…and it’s been such a fun experience; as well a great way to teach her about the beauty of letter writing!!! My good wishes for all your future endeavours!!

Response from developer

We are in tears here, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful experience and making us a part of your story! We are definitely doing something right. Please take our love and eternal gratitude

wonderful app and wonderful people

i originally got this app on a whim after i realized it had been ages since i last had a penpal. i looked around on all sorts of websites and apps to no avail. none matched the personal, snail-mail like quality i was looking for. however, lettre lives up to that dream and more. i’m having such a great time meeting all kinds of friends i wouldn’t have had the chance to meet if not for lettre.
recently, i had a little issue with the app. i reached out to the lettre team and was pleasantly surprised by their kindness, efficiency and support. they responded so quickly and with great sympathy. honestly, i wish this team all the best! i cannot recommend an app more. if you’re on the fence, take this as a sign to download and check it out! <3

Words cannot express how grateful we are at such kind words - guess we have to write a lettre to you! Thank you from the bottom of our collective hearts. The love and appreciation we get from people such as yourself make it worth our while. We love you!

Flashback

So clever, it reminds me of my high school note passing days. Thank you!

Response from developer

Hi Travi6! We are so glad our app made you feel that way. This is why we do what we do. Thank YOU from the bottom of the entire team's heart, we love you

Outstanding app, bar a few features

This app is beautiful. I love the idea, it is all very well executed and feels designed to work perfect with apple. Incredible, but here are a few notes/recommendations.

1) I would love the ability to zoom in while composing a letter, this would make writing easier, especially when trying to be neat.

2) It would be really nice to be able to write multiple pages on your letter, as sometimes just one page can be restrictive.

3) Letters can sometimes seem pixelated, so perhaps a higher resolution or vector system would work better, perhaps sending similar to pdfs or export systems used by goodnotes etc.

4) The option to send a letter immediately without using email would be lovely, although I do appreciate that waiting for letters is part of the joy, but sometimes you just want something to zoom into someones inbox as a thoughtful letter at the time of sending.

However, I do absolutely adore that this app is ad free, and the penpals system is awsome. This app is truly amazing.

Hi Hermithen! Thank you so much for such a wonderful and constructive review. Please accept our love and appreciation! Now, onto some answers -- 1, 2 and 4 might be closer than you think *wink wink* We might be a small team but our efforts aren't. About 3, we are still working on making the lettres as high quality as possible while making sure we support as many iPad models as we can. Considering we are such a young app, we are looking for that sweet spot - but don't you worry, we are working day and night to find it. With the love and support of people like you, we believe we will go a long way! Once again, thank you so much for the love

A joyful way to connect

I’ve been really enjoying the delightful anachronism of hand-writing letters to penpals around the world. Loving it!

Hi Greenlividllama! Your love and appreciation is what inspires us to do what we do, thank you

Writing tool selection crash

When I choose the writing to selector the app crashes. I end up rebooting my iPad in order to get it to work again

P.S.
An update

After tinkering… I found that using the app when the apple pencil battery was low was causing the crash.
I charged up my apple pencil and the app worked flawlessly.
