### 5/5 — Супер

*2026-04-17*

Приложение классное. Дает возможность обмениваться открытками из разных стран

### 1/5 — Не открывается

*2026-04-16*

После обновления приложение не открывается, пишет : что-то пошло не так, попробуйте позже!!!

### 3/5 — Fun app, very glitchy

*2026-02-21*

The app itself is fun, basically a mini Postcrossing app. My main complaint is that whenever registering a card it says “text should not contain sites to external links”, even when there is no link or anything. I end up having to dub down my message to a few words to get it to work. Another issue is with Russian addresses, where whenever you pull one sending from the US it makes you wait an hour to get a new address. It seems easier to just not have Russian addresses be pull-able in the first place?? Overall the app is fun but I wish they would fix these annoying issues.

### 5/5 — Перестал открываться

*2026-02-10*

Целый день не могу зайти в приложение 
Не грузит (пробовала и без защиты и с защитой, не хочет совсем грузится)
Есть надежда на восстановление?

### 1/5 — Lost mail

*2025-12-04, version 1.38.0*

All of my 5 cards that I’ve send got lost… what a waste!

### 5/5 — Eine super App

*2025-11-24, version 1.38.0*

Die App ist schön übersichtlich und es macht echt viel Spaß.

### 5/5 — Happy Mail

*2025-05-27*

With this app you can exchange postcards with people from all over the world, I love coming home and checking my mail.

### 5/5 — 🦋

*2025-05-22*

Пока что нравится функционал приложения, только что установила и быстро со всем разобралась. В описании профиля нет возможности написать I’m или другие сокращения, т.к. апостроф автоматически удаляется (с другими символами все в порядке). Со смайликами то же самое, хотелось бы немного разбавить ими описание 🦋

### 1/5 — I used to like this app

*2025-04-10*

As an avid postcrosser this app was another way to send some postcards recently though I can not get anyone’s address due to Russia not accepting mail. It makes you wait an hour after that denial message too, seriously I’ve tried for days and can’t send anything

### 1/5 — Не рекомендую никогда и никому

*2025-01-18*

Вытащила несколько анкет, в которых с адресами явные проблемы (впервые встречаю номер квартиры с буквой, а в другом адресе все строчки спутаны и вместо kv — sq. Может это как и в предыдущем спутаны дом и номер квартиры? Я регистрировалась давно и совсем не помню как там вводила адрес, но мне кажется, что это похоже на сбой, но с командой связаться никак нельзя, только через бусти 🤡 неистово осуждаю
