If you want to talk just send me a raven ### 5/5 — Cute, unique, wholesome *2026-07-20* Fun little pen pal program with a twist. Also appreciate that the letters don’t get sent to or from our exact locations so I feel safer knowing there’s that privacy barrier. Also the marketing and little notes here and there are just so funny. Great job! ### 5/5 — fun! *2026-07-18, version 2.9* very fun, my friend texts me more ### 5/5 — great *2026-07-15, version 2.7* it is a great app ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-11, version 2.7* I want the cat they offered ### 5/5 — LOVE this whimsical app… *2026-07-11* LOVE this whimsical app with its delightful cast of couriers to carry your messages. Follow their progress on a map, like those iconic animated airplanes flying across an old map in movies to represent a character travelling the world! Choose your cute courier and thus how quickly your message will arrive! Stylize and choose the font for your message on old-fashioned parchment paper! Collect cartoon stamps in your passport as you send messages near and far! Most of all, bring back the joy and anticipation of writing and receiving mail! When has sending and receiving messages been so much fun??!! ### 5/5 — Really fun app *2026-07-11, version 2.7* I love this app. Such a fun way to message with my nieces! ### 5/5 — Cute fun for kids & adults alike! *2026-07-10* This charming, whimsical app makes me smile- I’m in my 60’s and have a toddler granddaughter who lives far away- Hopefully in about five years, we will be writing letters back & forth with each other on Raven! ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2026-07-07, version 2.7* I’ve always found texting to be too fast. This is much more my speed. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-04, version 2.7* Peak comedy and so forth ### 5/5 — Very cool! *2026-07-02* I actually “came up with” the idea for this app last night! Turns out I was a few years late and Raven made it far better than I’d imagined. Oh well! Less coding and more message sending. :) ### 5/5 — Hilarious *2026-06-17, version 2.6* This app is a great if you need a fun different way to communicate and connect with your friends ### 5/5 — Fun app to use *2026-06-02, version 2.5.2* It’s great for messaging your friends in a fun manner where there’s a delay and allows you to use their fun script style letters. ### 5/5 — Fun slow texting *2026-05-20, version 2.4* Definitely recommend ### 5/5 — This app is delightful! *2026-05-19, version 2.4* I love sending messages to my friends and family this way ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not much to do *2026-08-02, version 2.9.1* I downloaded it because it looked cute, but during the time I used it I struggled to find people to talk to, so there wasn’t much for me to do. I was also surprised that the app offered me a capybara for leaving a review and took me straight to the App Store review page. That felt off-putting to me. ### 4/5 — Fun Messaging *2025-01-29, version 1.3.1* My wife and I use this to send letters to each other (obviously). We live together and love each other, but it’s a great way to reminisce and communicate about less urgent events. ### 5/5 — Weird app for weird people *2026-08-24* It’s exactly what it sounds like. Slow messaging that resembles writing letter letters without having to pay postage. I like it give it a shot. Maybe we’ll be penpals. ### 5/5 — Fun way to message someone special *2026-08-14* I just started using the app, it looks fun and promising. I just don’t like the pay-to-unlock animals part of it. Overall, I liked it. ### 5/5 — Super cute and fun way to keep in touch! *2026-08-10* I recently moved and have been using this app with friends. It's been a fun way to keep in touch while far away. Obviously we could just text, but this app is so endearing and whimsical! 10/10 recommend. ### 5/5 — Fun app *2026-08-04, version 2.9.1* Enjoy the slow nature of writing letters. No haste is a good pace. ### 5/5 — So adorable! *2026-08-02* I just downloaded Raven after a friend suggested it, and it is so wholesome! I love the concept, the layout is easy to understand and follow, and it’s a fantastic way to connect in a meaningful way with the people around you. ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-02, version 2.9.1* Genuinely such a cute app! ### 5/5 — Fun and Entertaining *2026-08-01, version 2.9* Having loads of fun with my son and grandchildren sending messages and voice texts and choosing a new courier. Love having to wait and anticipating what’s coming. ### 5/5 — Awesome idea *2026-07-29* I love that someone thought of this for an app. We spend too much time on our phones and are too easily accessible, when I think it should be the opposite. This is a nice way to stay in touch with someone without the pressure of responding immediately. Props to the creators! ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Entertaining and slow. Perfect! *2026-07-26* I’m not a big fan of texting in general and the day to day urgency of responding to even just friendly hi messages can be exhausting. This is a fun and more intentional way to stay connected to friends who live far away. ### 5/5 — Love! *2026-07-24* I think this app is so fun! I like to use it as a weekly check in with my friends. Somewhere we can type a more long form message. I really like the addition of PenPal too! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
