#### We’re bringing the traditional pen pal experience to your smartphone.
Slowly is created for those who yearn for meaningful conversations, lacking in the era of instant messaging. It connects people around the world at a slower but better pace.
Meet a new pen pal, seal your letter & place a stamp - start connecting with the world on Slowly!
#### Letters take time to be delivered
The farther away your pen pal lives, the longer it will take. Why rush through replies? Make your letter be worth the wait!
#### A nickname & an avatar is all you need
Who says a picture is always worth a thousand words?
_No swiping is involved here_ - speak your mind freely to your pen pals!
#### Share your passion to the world.
Matches are based on language & commonly interested topics. Practice a language, exchange thoughts on the same passion - the first letter is simply exciting!
Languages Relationships Movies Music Science Art Casual Reading Family ...

##### This is such a great app for a polyglot, someone interested in foreign culture, or someone without fondness for the pressures of instant messaging – but still prefers the modernity of phones.
이탄희
##### I love this app! I meet the most wonderful people, in a longer format, more curious, more meaningful context. I've met people who live across the river, and across the ocean from me, and we are all so similar.
Paula Anderson
##### Very interesting concept compared to mainstream instant messengers. It's nostalgic and with a vibrant community.
