What's New in Lettre.app

2.9.0

October 21, 2026

We are back again after being busy behind the post office counter! This update brings MORE polish to your letter-reading experience, a new home for helpful videos and a few quality-of-life improvements to make sending and receiving lettres feel a little more magical. Here’s what’s new: - Full iPhone Duo Support: Lettre is now better prepared for foldable iPhone layouts (and the future), adapting as you fold, unfold and move around. Your letters, stamps, and Post Office should feel right at home, whichever way you hold your device. - A better reading experience: All lettres (both Mailbox and PenPal Stack) now fill the screen, just the way a handwritten letter should. Zoom in to admire every little detail, swipe between lettres more smoothly and say goodbye to those awkward white flashes and loading pauses. Handwriting deserves all the spotlight, more now than ever. - Post Office & Tips Glow-up: Our Tips section is now a video gallery! Browse helpful videos, tap to watch, and go full screen when you want the complete experience. Whether you're a Lettre veteran or the new PenPal on the block, there's something to learn (and more to find with use). The Post Office Home also has a few new places to explore. Catch up on what's new with Lettre, listen to our original soundtracks (yes, we have more than one!), visit our blog and find us around the internet outside the app! - Your mail, without the mystery: We solved a weird problem where some of our buttons inside the Mailbox incorrectly implied that reading your own mail cost money (which it doesn't). Wondering when your next lettre will arrive? We've made incoming mail a little easier to understand, with clearer arrival times and less confusing buttons. Supporters can still skip the wait with Express Mail perks, while everyone else can sit back and let Pippin handle the delivery. Once again, this is a “time saver”, receiving your lettres does not cost you money lol! - The usual suspects: We've tidied up menus, buttons, notifications, and a handful of other corners around the app. Friend requests are easier to spot, closing screens feels more natural, and a few pesky sign-in and navigation hiccups have been shown the door. We've also squashed a bunch of bugs, smoothed out some rough edges and made sure your account and mail behave a little more politely. We're a tiny team, and every bug report makes a difference. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to let us know when something isn't quite right. Each report helps us make Lettre a little better for everyone. Lettre is 100% independent and ad-free and we have our Pippins Supporters Club members to thank for that! You're the reason we get to keep building Lettre on our own terms, without ads or outside investors calling the shots. We're never in the dark because you keep the lights on our Post Office on. As always, thank you for being part of Lettre. Every letter sent, every new friendship, and every little moment of connection makes this whole thing worthwhile. Now, go write someone a lettre. Pippin has deliveries to make.

App not working anymore?

I did create an account on this app awhile back and just decided to open it since it has been awhile and now I cant open anything. It says network isn’t working. My internet connection is fine so I am confused if it’s something on my end or is it this app.

Response from developer

Hi there! First of all, please accept our sincerest apologies for running into this! This definitely isn’t the experience we want for our PenPals. If the Google/Apple log ins fail, please try the email option, we recently built it as a backup. If you’re still seeing the network error, please reach out to us at engineering@cheethee.com so we can look into what’s happening and help you get back to your lettres. Thank you for giving Lettre another try! ❤️

Great concept but continuous errors

I love the concept of the app but for the past few months every time I try to sign in I’m getting a “failed to fetch provider UID” error. 😕

I would have never found this app without Facebook

I found this app on somebody’s Facebook page or video. I’m not really too sure. I actually wrote something today and I actually had fun. The person I found this app off of penpals called letters. She’s a Facebook streamer I think is what you call them. Her name is. Happydownloads anyways that’s all I had to say I actually had fun writing my letter.
