Description
Been using Slowly: Make Global Friends for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you connect with pen pals from all over the world. Pretty cool if you’re into that kind of thing.
Here’s what you do: you pick someone to start writing to, and then you can exchange letters back and forth. And there’s also a bunch of pre-made stickers and stationary you can use. And the cool part is, it takes time for the letters to actually get delivered – anywhere from a few hours to a few days depending on where your pen pal is.
Look, if you’re into making new friends from different countries and cultures, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – sometimes it can get a little slow and the interface is a bit basic – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want to get into the pen pal life.
Editor Opinion
So here's my honest take on Slowly: Make Global Friends. I've tested a bunch of social/messaging apps and this one's a pretty solid option if you're looking to make some global connections. I like the unique letter delivery mechanic - it adds a cool sense of anticipation that you don't get with instant messaging. And the selection of stationary and stickers is a nice touch. On the downside, the app can be a little glitchy at times and the user base is still relatively small compared to some bigger social apps. But if you're patient and don't mind the slower pace, it's a neat way to chat with new people around the world.

There's actually quite a lot of people on here, and I started getting messages quickly in Spanish and English. I am waiting for my first responses in the language I'm...
I would say slowly is pretty good and it's honestly one of the only places where you can send long form letters and create actual friendships. I don't usually move...
This app is fun. I just hope it they improve the character count part when I am constructing my letter. I'd like to write as little or as much as...
