About this app
Slowly: Build Authentic Friendships at Your Own Pace
"In a world dominated by instant messaging, meaningful connections have become a rare luxury."
Slowly reimagines the art of correspondence, offering a unique way to make friends. Connect with penpals around the world and explore the beauty of cultural and linguistic exchange through thoughtfully written letters. Rediscover the joy of anticipation and dive into heartfelt, written conversations.
Designed for those who prefer to take their time and focus on genuine connections, Slowly brings back the charm of traditional penpals. Each letter takes time to arrive—anywhere from a few hours to a few days—depending on the distance between you and your new friend. Whether you’re looking for foreign friends, a language exchange partner, or simply a quiet space to write a meaningful letter, Slowly is here for you.

Evidence and review signals
This is where the page changes from an app-store listing into an evidence report: findings, important reviews, pricing and a dated history.
What we measured

Themes reported by reviewers
No theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
80–89% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence about the app, not a finding about it.

“Privacy Nightmare and Other Issues — The app stores device identifying data and logs IP addresses in a way that seems unethical to me. I’m also apparently banned for violating terms of services, though I committed no such violations other…”
“Not to sound like a Karen but — The app still tracked my location despite me clicking on don’t allow. This is a violation of Apple standards for privacy!”
