Pros and cons of Pen Pals app for iPhone and iPad

Pen Pals app good for

I dont have any problems with this App and I just love it! I get to know so many people - mainly from the US and Korea, but every once in a while theres someone from another country as well. (; I really LOVE the design, but being able to view ad write Mails in landscape would be a real improvement! Thanks to Dos Hombres for this fabulous App!!
I just installed it to my iTouch last night and Ive already got 2 new Pen Pals who Im conversing with. There are privacy settings too, which are great. I really like this App so far, its fun as well! :-)
Pretty good app. I have a new 3gs iPhone and everything works well. They should have a search filter to make it easy to find someone in a country you may visit or something.
This is awesome but would be perfect if it had a search option, themes and bios
Does what chatrooms were supposed to in a safe and stylish manner. I can digg it.
Ive had this guy for about 9 hours... I have 9 people already. Pretty sweet that there isnt any other fees besides the 1.99!!!! Worth the price

Some bad moments

Fix the crashes and server side problems. This app is very unstable! Edit: as 1.1 I though issues would be fixed, theyre not. Avoid this app if you are palnning using it on 3G network as I found it only crashes on 3G and not on WIFI.
Worst app ever.....they should pay us to use this app. Dont even bother!
This is a good App, the idea of taking Pen Pals to the iPhone is ingenious. I have a couple suggestions, though; - You should be able to choose what country your pen pal comes from. I prefer speaking French but every time I send a message it ends up with and English speaking person. - Maybe a way to search for age too. - Get rid of this send a message to a random person button. To conclude my suggestions, basically be able to substantially narrow your list of message recievers. If you think that my suggestions are minor issues, go ahead and buy the app.
No updates for a year, poor interface, deleted in 5 mins... Want my $2 back
There should be a way to have an account. That way Pen Pals wont get lost ever
This used to be a great app, Ive had it for years. Sadly, it has been abandoned and all the bug and glitches make it unusable. For example: deleted conversations re-appearing after re-opening app, unable to view own messages (that I sent) in a conversation, sometimes takes very long to send a message, notifications dont always work. Ive emailed the developer about these issues, and no response. This app hasnt even been updated since 2010. There were apparently plans for a "PenPals 2.0" app to replace this one, but it seems thats been abandoned too.
