Slowchat User Guide
Slowchat is an app for writing letters, receiving letters, and meeting pen pals. This guide starts with sign-up and follows the pages you see on your phone, one step at a time.
The screenshots come from an Android emulator in a test environment, using the default Modern skin and the light appearance. The pen names, letters, and addresses on screen are samples, not real users' private information.
The five entries at the bottom are always: Home (「首页」), Mailbox (「信箱」), PC (「PC」, short for Postcrossing-style postcard exchange), Discover (「发现」), and Profile (「我的」). When this guide says "go back to the bottom tab X", tap that tab.
