I am looking forward for more to come out!! Please please keep that we can reuse the stamps we own. I love that aspect of it!.

making real friends in the modern generation

Whoever created this app thank you genuinely from the bottom of my heart, I’m emotional-I really mean it!! This app is the real
deal but that being said, it takes effort to get to know each other. Our culture today is so much about ghosting or flaking out! I
have downloaded countless friendship apps

Gotta Catch Up!

When I was a kid, the only pen pal I had was a kid from another school in the city next to me. It wasn’t super exciting,
honestly, because I didn’t get to really choose who my pen pal was. I was only able to ask basic questions and it was super
limited. Funny end to the story... when I met that pen

Surpassed my expectations

Even before covid, I had a hard time making friends because I’ve always been super introverted and have never been into the
social media craze. So I thought why not, this seemed like a cool app, I can just delete it if I don’t like it. Well, I have
been pleasantly surprised since the start. It is ge

Game changer

Imagine getting on SLOWLY every day to see you Pin-pal write you letters, parents don’t worry, the apps prevents minors from
talking with adults. Honestly 10/10 would recommend, for anyone who is interested in learning a new culture. Not to mention you
can collect, earn and buy stamps. Also I love m

Does what it’s supposed to

It’s an amazing app but if I may recommend something, please add search for keywords through all the messages with a contact. It
really helps remembering something that has been said a long time ago. Thank you for your amazing work.

Great

It was hard to get into first, but I have one friend right now and we talk back and forth. I was bullied in school and people are
just mean, and people are easy to talk to.

Best Way to Connect with Others!—One Adjustment

This app has surely become one of my all time favorites and I’ve been using it for almost a year now. I’ve met so many
fantastic people and learned about different counties and cultures... the informational value of this app and connecting with
other people speaks for itself. However, the one thing

Great app

I have met many of people around the world and learned a lot about them. This is great for learning about other countries, and the
lives of the people who live in them.

'Getting kind of Good'

'I just started using this for a couple days and received my first letter! It’s really cool. I like the wait time in between
letters and the fact that it makes you more curious what is next!? I feel I might actually make some good friends on here
especially from around the world. I’m usually not

'Love it!'

'I LOVE this app!!!! Like everyone else, going through this quarantine has been a little hard and can feel a little lonely! I
joined dating apps (even though I’m not ready date!) just to be able to meet and talk to people and that was a complete
disaster. I found this app and it’s exactly what I

'Love It!!'

'This app was one that quickly became one of my favorites, and shortly after that became my way of communicating with some of my
favorite people! The avatars are really cute, and I love the lack of pressure to be attractive and sound super interesting. The
fact that you have to wait to receive your

'SLOWLY IS AN AMAZING APP, BUT...'

'I have been using Slowly for quite a while now, and I have to say... I love it! I have gained so many new friends from across the
world. Not to mention how nice everyone on Slowly is! I am very grateful for Slowly, meeting people from a different country and
culture than my own has really opened up

'Amazing app if you’re a self conscious person!!

'I read about this app on Reddit and it’s again my opinion. I’ve never written a review for an app until now, but that’s
because I genuinely enjoy it. The amazing this about the app is that it’s anonymous and you don’t have to put any pictures.
You send letters to people but it’s a gambl

'Dear Slowly,\n\nPlease add automatic or manual rotation on iPad. It\'s a MUST. It\'s necessary. It\'s crippling not to have it.
\n\n➡️Update: there is now a toggle on settings to turn landscape mode on/off.\nGoing from three stars to four ;p\nWell

'pretty good but would like a few changes'

'i really like this app but please develop a dark mode for it! also, please make it so that we can search for specific ages ranges
in the search section. i am almost 17 and don’t really feel comfortable befriending those 14 and under/20 and older:/ please
consider adjusting these things'

'Great!! But..'

'This app is fun! But i dont really know what to do. Im 12 and everyone is wayyy older than me. It seems strange to befriend a 19
year old:( could there be a change to look for a specific age?'

'Great!!!!.......but fix some things'

'I’ve made so many friends through Slowly and I enjoy waiting for my letters. It’s a great app overall but I would really
appreciate if the creators made the avatars a little better. Mine doesn’t even look like me! You can only choose brown,
extremely light blonde, red, or black hair. I wish i

for connecting people to write to each other'

'Connecting'

'It’s called slowly for a reason. I’ve pondered on this and seen that these relationships you build are all part of a process
of taking your time! Thoroughly as our conversations progress, our understanding of each other becomes clear. With friendship I am
like a kid and I enjoy the fun in life,

'My favorite app'

'I rarely write reviews, but I enjoy this app so much. It’s great to have meaningful conversations with people who really do

'Too Good'

'This app is great, leaves you the memory that someone somewhere will get your letter and when you letter is received and you
getting a reply it gives great joy as you expecting and waiting for a surprise message. I think the app is just too Good'

'Best I’ve found so far!'

'I always wanted a pen pal as a kid, so when I found this app, I knew I had to try it. Within my first day of getting the app, I
found four people I wanted to get to know and three of them actually wrote back to me! Since then, I’ve made many more friends
and I’ve kept conversations going for o

'Great App! Just missing a few things..'

'First off, I really enjoy this app. I’ve only had it for a few weeks and have already made a bunch of friends. I do have one
complaint though. Please add a more precise age-filtering system! 0-20? Seriously? A lot of people can get uncomfortable when
talking to people older/younger then themselve

'Recommendation and experience'

'Over-all my experience with this application is nice because it get to experience what “pen-pal” is haha. I’m happy to be
using it and it would be nice if a nightmode will be added to the application. Thank you in advance and I’ll keep using it.'

'Good for quarantine'

'Very cool app! Great for quarantine when you can’t talk to many people! Made some great friends on here. Only complaint is that
it only gives you one generated person to talk to once every 24 hrs I wish it was unlimited..'

'The ONLY friendship app'

'All the other friendship apps I’ve tried involve either one word conversations or messages from desperate guys. For example,
Whisper is a disaster and Bumble BFF only lets you choose people based on their (required) personal photo and a one sentence bio.
It’s shallow and ineffective. \n\nFrom d

'Good way to connect'

'My daughter told me about the app and encouraged me to try it. I have enjoyed the connections I have made around the world in a
short time. I like the avatar feature as people seem more real when connecting on profile info.I also love the astrology aspect of
the app. What I don’t like is trying t

'A digital pen pal'

'Love this app. You can make friends both here and overseas. This app also lets you use a avatar for those who like privacy or
just shy. Also its simple to set up an account and pick already named hobbies. You can collect different stamps for your letters
to send to friends, though don’t worry som

'10000/10 Recommend!!'

'I never write reviews, literally. This is the first review I\'ve ever written. I am so beyond happy with this app!!! I wouldn\'t
change a thing about it!! I love how it takes hours for you to receive and send a letter, it really makes you put thought into
what you write. And it\'s more special. I\'

'Brilliant'

'I recently joined this app looking for another way to practice Japanese and I was not disappointed! While it may be a bit
difficult to find people who can actually help you with your target language, this app is just an awesome way to connect with
people everywhere. Not to mention how cool it is t

'I love this app!'

'I love this app! I was able to make a great friend thanks to this app. I think writing and communicating with people on this app
feels more heartfelt than talking on social media bc since the letter takes time to arrive, you write more than just a few
sentences. Hence, you elaborate on what u said

Fun, but way too many sketchy people

I have had fun writing to a few people but most communication has been shallow and dealing mostly with the mundane. And the number
of men asking me personal information in the first or second letters is just very off-putting. I will give it a bit longer to see
what happens.

Location problems

I like this app, but it’s not working with my location. I have reset my location and have tried everything on my end to fix
this. I use to live in the states but I moved to a different country a few months ago. I tried contacting them and instead of
helping my situation they just sent me the step by
