What's New in Lettre.app

2.8.1

September 8, 2026

Hello lovelies, twice in one week!? This one is a little different. No giant rebuilds, no architectural adventures, no shiny new feature. Just a bunch of small things we've been wanting to make better, a little music from Pippin’s Park Buddies and some much-needed polish across the board. Here’s what’s new, the important stuff worth mentioning: - Our (FIRST) Official Soundtrack: We’ve added a new card to the Post Office “Home” section for something a little special: our very own music album release! Tap it to see all the places where our music is available. Put on some headphones, grab your pencil and cozy up! - Supporter Perks, behaving properly: The Daily Stamps and Monthly Stationery sliders found at our Post Office’s “Home” section now behave according to who is actually tapping them. It sounds obvious, but they weren't always quite this sensible. - A smoother Post Office: Opening and closing the Daily Stamps and Monthly Stationery galleries no longer makes the Home screen behind them flicker, disappear, and download everything all over again. It’s a lot smoother now, making the experience a lot more… fun - Unsend Mail gets its own look: Unsend Mail now has a dedicated paywall page and artwork instead of borrowing the generic one. Every feature deserves a little personality and weirdly, you people seem to like this feature way more than we anticipated! - PenPal profiles got a little clearer: Interests and Languages now have an actual Edit button in their section headings. Previously, you had to know that tapping one of the existing chips was somehow the secret way to edit the section. We thought we could do better. The profile is also ready to scroll immediately when you open it, rather than taking a brief moment to remember what it was supposed to be doing. - We’ve rewritten the one-time PenPal posting notice to make the important bits much harder to miss: PenPal lettres are public, replies aren't guaranteed, and Mailbox lettres are private. While browsing the PenPal Stack, we still highly encourage you to “start a conversation”; it’s the best way to begin a correspondence and you’re much likelier to get a reply! There’s someone on the other side of that lettre waiting for a response, exactly like you when you post a lettre to the PenPal Stack! A collection of little things, little fixes, and little improvements that hopefully make Lettre feel just a little nicer to use. As always, thank you to everyone who continues to write lettres, start conversations, report bugs, send us feedback, and generally make this strange little corner of the internet what it is. And, of course, a huge thank you to the members of the Pippin Supporters Club. Your support lets us keep building Lettre independently, ad-free for everyone, and on our own terms. We genuinely couldn't do this without you. Now go listen to our first music album release, write someone a lettre, and stay hydrated. See you soon.

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.

Nice app but there's a problem

love this app but why I have to sign in so many times😣almost every time I open it I have to sign in again

Love it, one suggestion please?

This is such a really great idea and I love it! I was just wondering if it would be possible to add a way to see if you have a letter incoming or not? So far I don’t see a way for that, thank you!

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
