Great idea but there's some serious bugs. Make sure you double check your letter before sending. It kept replacing my letter with an old draft that had half of what I was trying to write. When I finally got it to send (after the weekend cut off because it took so long for it to work), the address line had changed the format of how I needed the name written. Asked support for help before my letter printed and then got an email saying sorry, it's already printed. Not worth the ~$4/letter.

It was expensive, but I thought it was worth it if he got letters quicker. Save has never been saved, and I have had to rewrite letters twice in the past week. Last letter took several days to be delivered which is not what was advertised. Once my purchase is completed, I am unistalling and never using it again and don't/ won't recommend unless you have more money and time to burn.

This is a shameful app that preys on the vulnerability of military families by charging them ~$5 to send an email. They do not notify you of the cost of a "token" to send a letter until after it has been drafted. My experience has only been communicating with a recruit going through boot camp, so perhaps this app is worth it to those communicating overseas, although this seems doubtful. In my case, a pen /paper seems to be the way to go.

I've had it with this app! if I could give it a -5 I would! can't even get to the part where I complain about paying eight times the standard price to send a letter. I can't even write the damn letter because there's not even an option to save it! You exit the app, you lose the letter and have to start all over again! It's too bad our military heroes can't use the same communication app that our prisoners do! Just save your time and money! Go to the post office!

If you live closer to base than where the letters are printed, handwritten may get there more quickly. It is a bit pricey, but you see the tracking, as well. My son preferred real letters, but these were a nice supplement, and much easier to type a letter than write it. The price also includes a photo/collage for each letter. He did not like the motivational notes, only bc he thought he was getting a letter in each envelope, but it was often those.

It's a great idea. The writing prompts are helpful. Each letter is expensive though. Would like to attach more pictures. There also isn't enough letter space for me. I write long letters. I don't know how to connect with other military girlfriends through the app. The time and date on tracking your letter seems to be off. I would like to know when the recipient has recieved the letter. Buy other than these requests, it's really simple to use.

App itself seems to work fine, but there is no easy way that I can find to keep them from tracking you or selling your activities and info. Also received unwanted marketing text messages with no option to opt out. I am using this app to be able to send letters to relatives in the military, so I kind of feel like they are taking advantage - especially since you do pay for their services.

If you put your phone down for a split second, most everything you wrote will be erased. It has happened to me several times already. I gave 2 stars instead of one because it's a convenient way to send short messages. App sucks. Came back give it 1 star, i hit the save button so i wouldn't lose what i wrote and it kicked me back to the recipient screen. Lost everything. I have 1 letter left then never using this app again. Takes forever for the letters to arrive also 👎

The app keeps glitching. I have to close and reopen several times to create a letter. It will also tell me I have no letters available when I bought a package. I have to try throughout the day to upload a picture. The last letter it wouldn't upload at all . I kept getting an error message. It's very frustrating considering the price of these letters! I don't see where the recruit really gets the letters any faster than regular mail. After I run out of my package, I will not purchase anymore.

Absolutely the easiest way to write a letter. It's just like sending a very long text! You can stop and continue later, whenever you want, and you get to include a picture. The app sends nice alerts so you know the progress of your letter right up to delivery. Also you can check in the app and track it to exactly where it is. You can include gift cards and it puts it right on your credit card. This thing is almost too good!
