User Reviews

Lettre.app is praised for its free, ad-free, AI-free model and global, human-centered pen pal idea with an easy-to-use interface and optional handwritten letters. However, multiple reviews cite low reply rates and persistent reliability problems, including login failures, sending issues, and occasional crashes. The overall experience is shaped by strong concept and vibe, but engagement and stability remain the common pain points for many users.
Pros
  • Free to use with no ads and no generative AI.
  • Global, real-person pen pal connections—not follower-based.
  • Very easy to use / user-friendly interface.
  • Supports handwritten letters (Rocketbook integration).
  • Cute, cozy vibe with welcoming onboarding from the team.
Cons
  • Low engagement: many users report not receiving replies from pen pals.
  • Technical reliability issues: frequent login/authentication problems.
  • Letters sometimes fail to send or lose progress during writing.
  • App crashes or stability issues (crashes, freezing, or performance bugs).

As a stationery and handwriting nerd, this app is a dream come true! 🖋️ Lettre.app brings all the nostalgia and charm of handwritten letters to your iPad.

Such a cute and wholesome app! I made a couple new penpals and was able to connect over shared interests like cooking and music!!

Whenever you want to add a “sticker” (decoration), you have to click on the add sticker button, select one, and then you can mess with the specifics. The specifics are the issue. When you put it under the text, half of the time it just won’t let you edit it by making it bigger or moving it. This wouldn’t be an issue if you could set it up in position before putting it under the text, but the button is in a specific place above the sticker, so it’s sometimes off the screen. This means that, unless you move it, you can’t send it to the back layer. If you have multiple overlapping stickers, it becomes increasingly difficult to change specific ones. You accidentally click on the sticker selection boxes frequently, causing all of them to be highlighted at once. This makes it generally unclear. You’ll frequently zoom in when trying to enlarge items. Also, the only way to change layers is “send to back” or “bring to front,” no “move back one layer.” I enjoy the concept, but it’s very difficult to customize using stickers
