Bugs e cobrança indevida

O suporte não resolveu os bugs nem devolveu meu dinheiro. Fiquei no prejuízo com eles, portanto, não recomendo.

I love this app so far! I’m a teenager and I like that the app only shows me people in my age range.

Conseil

L'application est intéressante, mais il y a encore pas mal de défauts et de choses à améliorer :
1. Le suivi des succès (succès/achievements) : On ne voit absolument pas sa progression. Par exemple, pour "Envoyer 100 lettres", combien en a-t-on envoyées pour l'instant ? Ou pour "Collectionner les timbres du zodiaque", ce ne serait vraiment pas compliqué d'indiquer qu'on en a, par exemple, déjà 3 sur 12.
2. L'absence de traducteur intégré : À l'ère de l'IA, la traduction est intégrée partout. Ce serait tellement plus pratique ! À cause de ça, beaucoup de gens passent à côté de nombreuses lettres. Ceux qui veulent traduire eux-mêmes le feront, mais pour les autres, un bouton "Traduire" serait une vraie aide.
3. L'envoi de vidéos : Pourquoi est-il impossible d'envoyer des vidéos, même très courtes ?

Response from developer

Merci beaucoup d'avoir pris le temps de partager ces suggestions détaillées ! Nous apprécions vraiment vos idées et les avons transmises à notre équipe. Nous sommes d'accord qu'un meilleur suivi de la progression des succès rendrait l'expérience plus agréable. Concernant la traduction intégrée, nous comprenons parfaitement son intérêt. Bien que ce soit une fonctionnalité utile, son intégration implique également des coûts importants liés aux services de traduction. Quant au partage de vidéos, c'est également une suggestion que nous avons bien notée. Merci encore pour vos précieux commentaires. Nous continuerons à améliorer Slowly et à étudier ces idées pour offrir une expérience toujours meilleure.

Great, but hiding/removing is confusing

It’s great.

I find hiding and removing users to be confusing, though.

Great app

Great app and the concept is awesome

It’s very good

Fast wie echte Brieffreundschaften

Slowly ist eine wirklich tolle, gut durchdachte App. Zum Knüpfen internationaler Freundschaften habe ich zuerst eine andere App (He…Ta..) ausprobiert, die ich aber als sehr schnelllebig und unpersönlich wahrgenommen habe. Das ist bei Slowly ganz anders. Dass die Briefe erst „zugestellt“ werden müssen, was je nach Ziel auch mal über zwei Tage dauern kann, finde ich eine schöne Idee, die die Kommunikation noch besonderer macht. Natürlich besteht auch bei Slowly das Risiko, dass man geghosted wird, aber ich habe das Gefühl, dass die Nutzer*innen dort mehr Wert auf den Schriftverkehr legen als es in anderen Apps der Fall ist. Das Beste ist: Man kann Slowly super in der kostenlosen Version nutzen. 5/5 Sterne, eine wirklich schöne Idee.

Life changing friendships

It’s amazing how many people from so many countries that I have connected with that I would have never known about! This is such a wholesome app!!

Great idea

Awesome concept, I suppose it would be nice if the letters had P2P encryption since they end up being quite personal, and a small quality of life improvement would be if we could see the last letter from someone while we write the reply, kinda like an email application works, this way we could be sure no subject ended up unanswered.

Response from developer

Thank you for your thoughtful review and suggestions! We really appreciate them. End to end encryption would significantly limit our ability to investigate reported letters involving scams, spam, and other abuse, which is why we don't currently support it. That said, protecting user privacy and data security remains one of our highest priorities, and we'll continue improving both. As for replying to letters, you can already view the letter you're replying to on the same screen. Simply tap the Pin icon at the top of your draft to pin the original letter, and you can also choose which letter to pin. Thank you again for your feedback. We'll continue improving Slowly!

love it!!

Love this app! Most other pen pal type of apps are so vague with the profile section that you generally read someone's profile and still feel like you know nothing about them. On slowly I genuinely feel like I can read someone's profile and be able to tell whether we would get along. The ONLY requests I have is that there are more ways to earn coins in game, otherwise it's basically impossibleeee to collect stamps, and i would really appreciate if we could rename our friends with nicknames. most people's usernames aren't their actual names so when i see them in my friends list i unconsciously recognise them by their user, but i feel like it kind of separates me from feeling like we're friends because it acts as a barrier to me calling them by their actual name in my head. I don't know if that makes sense but i would love if that could be a feature in future updates.

Slowly is literally the best if you are looking for this app where you get away from the first reply and Rush of Internet just download slowly
Apart from that, I totally enjoy the app. It’s the best I’ve gotten on of friends worldwide because of this app and it’s totally free unless you want some order upgrades.

펜팔 친구를 찾는다면!

펜팔이 너무 해보고 싶었는데, slowly 덕분에 세계의 다양한 사람들도 만나고 해석 능력도 상승한 것 같아요, 필요 이상으로 개인정보를 캐지도 않고, 사진이나 미디어 공유도 상호 동의시에만 가능해서 안전한 느낌이 듭니다, 아직도 많은 외국인 친구들이 가입하고 있으니까 꼭 한번 햐보시길!

Response from developer

안녕하세요, 최신물결6님. 정성 어린 후기 정말 감사합니다. Slowly를 통해 전 세계의 다양한 사람들과 교류하고, 언어를 배우는 즐거움도 함께 느끼고 계시다니 정말 기쁩니다. 또한 개인정보 보호와 상호 동의 기반의 미디어 공유를 안전하게 이용하고 계신다는 말씀도 감사드립니다. Slowly 커뮤니티의 일원이 되어 주셔서 진심으로 감사드리며, 앞으로도 의미 있는 만남을 이어갈 수 있도록 계속 노력하겠습니다.

Review

I like slowly because it reminds me of the old snail mail which give you something to look forward to rather than texting and emails which are instant.
