Find pen pals in the digital era

Slowly is an app that seeks to revive the nearly lost traditions of stamp collecting and sending actual letters instead of those banal instant messages in apps like WhatsApp or emails.

The biggest difference here compared to other digital messaging apps is the stunted immediacy, with your letters taking a day to arrive, thereby – along with the stamps that get added to the letter – recreating in a rather abbreviated way the delay of good old-fashioned snail mail.

You can get stamps by visiting different countries, completing your collection by with real-life experiences traveling to foreign countries that you can later use in messages to other users.

Slowly is a different way to meet people, with the app suggesting connections according to your likes and interests as well as filters provided by new technologies, all put together in a practical way to help users have more extended conversations, with longer texts and more elaborate responses.

A pen-pal-like app for your devices

Slowly - Make Global Friends is a refreshing departure from the fast-paced world of instant messaging, offering users a chance to engage in meaningful conversations one letter at a time. Developed for those seeking genuine connections, this lifestyle app resurrects the age-old tradition of pen pals and infuses it with modern convenience.

Slowly - Make Global Friends allows users to match with pen pals from around the globe, and communication unfolds at a deliberately slow pace, mimicking the experience of sending physical letters. Mailing time varies depending on the distance between correspondents, adding an element of anticipation and authenticity to each exchange. 

Connect to the world

One of Slowly - Make Global Friends' standout features is its emphasis on anonymity. Users are identified only by a nickname and avatar, fostering a sense of openness and allowing individuals to connect without the pressure of revealing personal details upfront. This anonymity creates a level playing field where individuals can bond over shared interests and experiences, transcending barriers of geography and culture.

This lifestyle app's interface is intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy to find friends based on mutual interests and languages. As conversations progress and get exciting, users have the opportunity to unlock stamps from different countries and cultures, adding a delightful element of gamification to the experience. This app is also accessible with its optional paid features—communication is entirely free and unlimited.

However, this pen-pal-like game's deliberate pace does not appeal to those accustomed to instant gratification. The extended mailing times, ranging from hours to days, can test the patience of users seeking immediate responses instead of delayed ones. Additionally, while anonymity fosters openness, it can also hinder deeper connections, as users can struggle to establish trust without knowing more about their pen pals.

Stay anonymous

Slowly - Make Global Friends offers a unique and nostalgic approach to forging connections in the digital age. Its deliberate pace and emphasis on meaningful communication provide a refreshing alternative to the fast-paced world of instant messaging. However, its extended mailing times deter users from seeking immediate responses, and the anonymity it offers poses challenges for those striving to build deeper relationships. 

Notable Attributes:

- Correspondence speed based on geographical separation

- Anonymity ensured through a nickname and avatar

- Discover friends with shared interests and spoken languages

- Earn diverse stamps representing various countries and cultures

- Enjoy limitless free letter exchanges, complemented by optional premium features

    Some people may not like it, but I find it enjoyable. I belong to the generation that saw the shift from a time without smartphones. It's a nice change from regular social media. The interface is easy to use, and the delivery simulation is well done. I don't really mind if messages take a full day to arrive, as that's how it used to be with snail mail and actual letters.

    The app is really great! Some users don't get why it takes time to send and receive letters, but that's the whole point of the app. It has a lovely design with no irritating ads. The map feature gives it a vintage feel, making the waiting more tolerable. Plus, there are only stamp purchases, which could be worth it for enthusiasts.

    I've been using it for a while and have become good friends with someone through the app. The interface is easy to navigate, setting up bios is simple, and they give enough info to find common ground. The free version is quite functional compared to other apps. My only issue is with the age filter - it could be better with options to choose a specific age range. But that's my only gripe.

    I'm still adjusting to the app, but I really like SLOWLY. The idea that messages can take a day or two to reach is so calming and thrilling. We almost forgot how to appreciate the anticipation of receiving news, letters, or postcards. With SLOWLY, the concept of writing letters feels like reuniting with a long-lost sibling, making us value the joy of looking forward to something once more.

    This app is so great! It feels like you're writing a letter to someone, and I love that. But when I write long letters, it keeps getting interrupted and choppy, which is frustrating because I usually write long letters. Please solve this issue. This app is fantastic already, just a few problems need fixing to make it even better.

    This app is great for meeting people who really want to talk. Responses can take a while to arrive, sometimes days, depending on where you are. It would be nice if there was a way to reduce the waiting time, like watching an ad or playing a game to earn points. Overall, it's a great app. Occasionally, there's a bug that shows an error message, requiring me to reopen the app. Please fix it. :)

    The main problem with the app is that it's hard to edit text. When you try to delete part of your letter, it doesn't always work right. Sometimes it deletes too much or too little, or there's a delay. Another issue is not being able to see the original letter while writing your response. This makes it tricky to reply without constantly switching back and forth between drafts. This connects with the first problem.

    Lately, the app keeps freezing. When I go back to work on a message again and try to type, it starts lagging and then crashes. However, when I started a new message, everything was fine. But later in the day, the app began crashing again. I've already tried reinstalling the app, but unfortunately, it's still not working for me.

    There's this cool app that brings back an old idea in a new way. It helps people improve their writing skills and connect with others from different cultures. It's awesome to see how they modernized this old-fashioned concept so well. Shoutout to the team at SLOWLY for making it happen!
