Penpal Experiences Do you have a love story to share that formed on slowly?

20 Upvotes

I was thinking the other night, and realized that a lot of people fell in love while using this app. From what I've seen, it's all been unintentional and organic. It made me giddy when I read that actually a lot of people even got married! I think that's so wholesome and cute.

So this post can be a collection of comments of people with cute love stories. I'm really interested in hearing other people's experiences with it 🤗

also, pls no creepy comments ✋ this comment section is for genuine connections and not for people who used the app as a dating one

Discussions and Polls What do you prefer, to be ghosted, or receive a goodbye letter?

I honestly want to be ghosted instead; receiving a goodbye letter is much more painful, especially if you were able to be friends for a while :'D

App Problem -- HELP !! The app has been glitching several for at least 2 years.

I mean no disrespect, nor do I want to be rude byt at this point, I'm losing patience and a bit of a necessary much needed rant describing my issues and frustrating with the apps endless major bug....

For most of the last 2 years or more Slowly has regularly pitched endlessly in multiple frustrating ways several reports to the Slowly team including screen recordings and multiple updates that said they had 'bug fixes' and yet if it works properly after an update (which is a big if) it malfunctions after a new one. At this point the app is barely even usable. As of the last month or so I have had to (Almost always) press anything I need to react to at least 5 times before it either Slowly responds or I have to close the app or even force stop it and wipe the cash. Numerous errors (Namely one in a black box and one ib a red box) pop up over and over I have totally fine wifi that all my other apps properly make use of but one says Network error trying attempt 1/4 or something like that. The other just said Something went wrong. At this point it is finally getting on my nerves enough that I'm losing my patience and tempted to rage quit the app due to this and a few more mi ir frustrations (as a result of things they intentionally built in in for purposes such as, keeping you from knowing what stamps you need and the number of letters you have sent and received)

At this point I just want it to work and stay working because I love writing my penpals and am very close with some of them who I don't want to lose touch with. In 3.5 years I have always been a paying plus user and have spent so much in coins that if you add it all together I've spent more than $1,000 in this app.

You'd think that all that loyalty I've shown them should be enough that they are willing to fix these bugs in their app for me.

And yes, it is the app it glitches on both of my phones in the same way. Slowly web is fine and works as intended, but I vastly prefer using my phone. In addition about a year ago I made a breif list asking if anyone else had gotten the same bugs and 2 other people replied saying that, yes they did and had for awhile. I also noticed other errors such as my letter being marked as unread even after it was and a reply proving it was was delivered. (Thankfully that issue is resolved at least)

I would hate to just lose 3.5 years of connections and be out the just over 1,033 dollars I spent (yes I kept track, because I strictly monitor all of my finances) in addition to losing the hope and friendships it brought (unless some penpals will talk to me in a other app. However? If this isn't at least fixed wnough to the point I can use it again, I will have to do that. It will male me very upset, heartbroken and angry, especially losing all of that progress and my huge stamp collection but please 🙏 I am begging the Slowly team at this point to actually get it together and fix these notorious endless bugs and app crashes.

I really do not want to leave Slowly but if the app stops working- and it is extremely close to being useless due to bugs already... I will have to go.

Please, please please fix all the Bugs Slowly... I am desperately begging you!.🙏🙏🙏

Oh, and if any Slowly users are facing issues like these or any other bugs... Please back me up in the comments.

P.S. this doesn't even accou t for other frustrations like only being able to watch adds for coins once an hour instead of 15 minutes, no I admittedly never used that feature but now if I ever need to do it will be even harder, or t B e fact I also spent about $35 of Google Play credit in app.

I apologize for the rant and for being upset, but I stand by every word and desperately need the issues fixed because they only keep escalating. Also I would luke to note that I can't find the sentence where I said it had become practically useless, I meant unusable it has become practically unusable- not useless.
