### 1/5 — Erased my progress

*2023-05-18*

I spent hours putting my penpals into this app. The WHOLE time it either made duplicates of stuff I made or removed them! It’s so annoying! I finally spent hours getting everything in and when I reopen app, half my stuff is gone?! WHAT! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IF YOU WANT UNSTABLE APP!

### 2/5 — Interesting but unwieldy

*2024-11-17*

The app has potential, but it isn’t intuitive and is a bit unwieldy. It’s frustrating not to be able to add addresses and I will not link things to my address book. It isn’t clear how to delete things and on a few records I ended up with very confusing notes on whether I’d sent a letter or not. It’s nice to be able to add pics of letters. All in all, pen and paper work better for me.

### 3/5 — Has potential

*2026-04-06*

I’ve been using this for a while now and so far it’s been nice to use. I just think there needs to be more updates on the app.

### 4/5 — Love this app

*2023-11-18*

Makes keeping track of my penpal so much easier.  One thing I would change if I could is to have a place for peoples addresses if you don’t use your contact list.  I don’t want to add all my penpals to my normal contact list so I have to keep addresses on paper.

Overall, absolutely love this app

### 5/5 — Has become invaluable to me

*2026-08-14*

This is the app that I didn’t know I needed until I started using it — and now I can’t imagine trying to keep track of my correspondence without it it.

The “add photo” feature is especially appreciated. I can take a picture of a letter or postcard before I send it so I have a reminder of what I said later. 😀

The developer is very responsive to questions and feedback.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-04-24*

Super clean and easy to use. Love it.

### 5/5 — Amazing App for PenPals!

*2023-05-16*

I thought I’d give this app a try since I basically just have a spreadsheet to track things and it’s been amazing! It tells you exactly when you sent mail, how many days it’s been since you received mail, etc… Been such help keeping all my correspondences organized. And you can add pictures of your pen pals for their profile and also any past letters you’ve sent so you can reference them!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2023-03-20*

What a brilliant app it has me so much better organised and I absolutely recommend this to others

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2022-11-25*

This is a fantastic app made by some tremendously fantastic developers. Perfect for all your penpally needs!
Only thing it doesn’t do is write the letters for you 😆
