What's New in Lettre.app

2.7.6

August 26, 2026

Hey there lovelies! We have an update for you, This update gives the Post Office a fresh coat of paint, makes regional pricing behave properly, and squashes a whole bunch of bugs that were making sign-in and browsing from the PenPal Stack more complicated than they should be. Here’s what’s new, the important stuff worth mentioning - The Post Office (Part 2 of 2): We've completely rebuilt the Stamps and Papers tabs to make browsing our stationery collection in the Post Office tab feel more like, well, browsing a stationery shop! Stamp and stationery packs can now open into their own scrolling collections, while smaller/older packs have been grouped together as cover cards so the Post Office stays tidy. We've also separated individual papers and envelopes into their own sections, added shimmer loading placeholders, and introduced a shared price pill across Stamps and Papers for a more consistent experience. While we were at it, we have also fixed some annoying pricing issues; Prices are now pulled directly from the App Store for your region, so you should see the right currency, symbol, formatting and price wherever you shop in the Post Office. - A more reliable log-in: This update contains a lot of behind-the-scenes work to make signing in and staying signed in much less error-prone. We've fixed a number of edge cases involving Apple, Google, and email sign-in, including getting randomly signed out, signing back in immediately after signing out, interrupted Apple sign-ins, accidental double-taps, Face ID getting stuck, and sign-in screens becoming unresponsive. Cancelling a sign-in should now actually cancel it, too. No more mysteriously disabled buttons requiring a force quit. We are hoping to see less and less of these pesky login/signup issues - PenPal stack enhancements: Our PenPal Stack also got a healthy number of under-the-hood upgrades this time around. The PenPal Stack is more resilient when things are slow, and pull-to-refresh works even while the feed is still waking up. We've also fixed blank or incorrect envelope thumbnails, which means scrolling through your stack of PenPal lettres will now feel a lot smoother than before. - Under-the-hood: Beyond the Post Office and PenPal stack, we have also made some improvements across the board; (including but not limited to) → pinning Lettre's dates to the Gregorian calendar, improving sign-in diagnostics, fixing duplicate guest credentials, and cleaning up a whole bunch of noisy logs. In other words: fewer weird things happening and much better clues when something does. - The Usual Suspects: Bugs and crashes from last time, done and dusted! Thank you, as always, to each and every one of you for helping us find the weird stuff. Every bug report, confusing screen, and "hey, this shouldn't be happening" message helps us make Lettre a little better for everyone. (please use the “contact us” or “report a bug” buttons to get in touch with us! You are the reason we get to improve the experience for everyone else) As always, everything we build is made possible by members of the Pippin Supporters Club, the reason we get to stay 100% ad-free for everyone. Thank you for making this possible. To everyone else, thank you for being a part of our journey, this community is so wholesome and nice because of you! What's next: - Full multi-window support (hopefully also officially out on macs, shh) - Group Conversation Threads / Group Threaded-Conversations - More stickers and such! That’s all for today, Stay hydrated, see you soon! Now go visit the Post Office and browse some stamps. We made it pretty.

So far it’s been so easy to use

So I made a reply letter to someone and it was so easy there was so much space on the digital paper it’s ad free which is gr8! I will make new reviews later though once I’m more used to the app

Love this

It really med more cropping options, like free hand cropping to make stickers in the add a photo option

love it, but…

I love the idea of handwritten letters. Reading those open letters really makes me want to write one too. The only thing stopping me is that I’m a bit anxious about online interactions. If i can’t even choose what kind of people can receive my letters, I’ll always worry that someone who doesn’t understand me might send me a rude reply. So i’d really appreciate it if we could choose tags or limit who can see our open letters. I think people like me will feel a lot safer to share our thoughts here.
