### 5/5 — Great app again

*2026-03-30*

Only thing I don’t like is that it takes a bit for planes to update from around the world after the update. Faster response time would be great

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! We're aware of the sync delay and working on improving the response time. Stay tuned 😊

### 1/5 — Money Grab

*2026-03-29*

Without paying a subscription, your plane may only fly 311 miles, hindering any actual chance for interesting interaction. Cool concept though. Would be better if the users first plane didn’t have the limit, but subsequent would.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback and the suggestion! We'll keep working to make it better 😊

### 5/5 — A Curious and Wondrous New Way To Connect

*2026-03-29*

It is a very interesting and curious idea. To combine the idea of mail communication and the longing to what to connect with others especially in diving times as these. 

I see a lot of potential for this app as it could be a new way people just enlighten people’s day with positivity, wonder and connection. 

I will be using this in my building community and encourage others especially artists and creatives who are very heartfelt people to try to do random acts of kindness and acts of wanting to connect with our fellow human race.

**Developer response:** What a thoughtful review, thank you so much! We love that you're sharing it with your community. We'll keep working to make it a meaningful way to connect with others 😊
