Lettre.app 9+

Hello everyone,

The Lettre team is incredibly excited to share what we have been working on for the last couple of weeks! The app's 11th update — our most comprehensive yet — adds a whole new avenue for meeting, connecting and building relationships with new people!

This requires a little reintroduction —> Lettre.app is a handwriting-based messaging app built for the iPad and Apple Pencil. You can send hand-written digital correspondence to anyone, collect and exchange digital stamps created by independent artists and make PenPals across the world!

A "PenPal" is a friend you make by exchanging letters, often to explore new cultures and languages. Our PenPals feature is a new way to connect with people globally through handwritten letters on the iPad, reviving the charming tradition of pen-friendship in our hyper-connected age.

What’s new in this update?

- Make PenPals across the world: If you don’t have someone in mind to send your lettre to, you can opt in to PenPals and select a continent after you’re done writing your letter. Your letter can be read by someone from that continent who can also write back to you, making it easier to meet new people! You can also visit the “PenPals” tab to read handwritten lettres sent by others from around the world and if you like a lettre, you can write back to them.

- Unparalleled writing / doodling experience: The writing experience is better than ever thanks to all the upgrades we made during the last 6 months. This includes additional stationery, better quality papers, saving lettres as photos, better security / privacy and of course, being able to attach images and even draw on them!

- Better immersion: With every lettre, now you also get an envelope (just like the real world). You can preview and customize these envelopes, adding a new dimension to making each lettre your own! With our new PenPals feature, collecting stamps from other parts of the world is easier than ever — just connect with a PenPal from your desired continent! Among other subtle tweaks to the handwriting and postal experience, we added sound effects and sprinkled some fun stuff across the board that we want you to find.

- The Post Office: We have our own retail stamp store selling digital stamps now! You can directly support up-and-coming independent artists by purchasing stamps from the Post Office. The latest stamp packs are by BotAgainstHumanity and Natishitoshno—along with a supporters pack! Check out our website for more info!

- Getting started: New users will find the “Tips” tab extremely helpful in getting started smoothly. For anything else, just write to us (yes, now you can write directly to us from the app).

Since our initial launch, we've come a long way but there's still a long way to go. With your love and support, it should be a fun journey towards more in-depth letter writing and exchanging features.

Thank you on behalf of the enture Lettre team.
