User reviews

Fun app.

You don’t always get a response but every now and then you find people to talk to.

Fun

Slowly is different than other pen pals apps. I love how you have to wait for letters to arrive depending on where your penpals are. I have met some incredibly nice people from all over the world. TBH: I wasn’t sure I’d like this app. Everyone here is a “writer” so be ready to READ long letters.

Это просто находка!

В наше время, когда информации много и общение превратилось в обмен короткими репликами в мессенджерах, а слова - в эмодзи, Slowly возвращает в то время, когда ждали бумажные письма и с волнением открывали конверт. И письма раскрывали человека с его внутренним миром, с его эмоциями, надеждами. В эпоху цифрового «фастфуда» Slowly - это пристань думающего человека, интроверта особенно. Спасибо разработчикам от души!

FAQ

What is Slowly?

Slowly is a social networking app designed to foster authentic friendships through a unique letter-writing experience. It allows users to connect with penpals worldwide and engage in thoughtful correspondence, with letters taking time to arrive based on distance.

How does letter delivery work?

Letters in Slowly are delivered based on the physical distance between you and your friend. This means a letter to someone across the globe will take longer to arrive than one to a nearby user, creating a sense of anticipation and encouraging more deliberate communication.

Is Slowly free to use?

Yes, Slowly offers unlimited free letters, allowing you to send and receive as many as you like without charge. Optional premium features are available to enhance the user experience and cater to specific needs.

Is my privacy protected on Slowly?

Slowly prioritizes user privacy and security. The app does not require real names or photos, focusing instead on shared thoughts and ideas. This creates a safe and stress-free environment for authentic self-expression and connection.

Who would benefit from using Slowly?

Slowly is ideal for anyone looking to make friends at their own pace, free from instant messaging pressures. It's also great for language learners seeking exchange partners, individuals who enjoy writing letters, introverts, and anyone wanting to connect with people from different cultures globally.
