A Wonderful App
BobinColorado2

I use this great app all the time to send photos to friends and family. We even use it as our holiday card with a family photo because the quality is so great.

I created a card. I purchased 5 credits and I tried to send my card and was told that I had to buy credits to send. I tried to report a problem and it closes the app. I waited another day and the same thing happened again. I did not get the credits. I have never had this problem before. So disappointed …


Had this for years and it’s the best!

We have used this app since our 1st generation iPad. We have never had any trouble. The postcards are beautiful and always timely delivered. But what sets this apart is service. More than once over the years we have used an incorrect address. They correct it and send a personal email explaining what happened and sending us . Just great all around

Love it!!

I love this app!! I received my first card today and it’s everything I I hoping it would be! Love that the cards are customizable It’s beautiful and high quality ? I will use this app for all my future card needs So much better than the cheap looking generic card in stores Thank you so much! Great idea!!


Perfect for any kind of notes!

Great-grandma lives a thousand miles away and was always so sad to be missing her only great-grandchild’s milestones, so I send her an update about every two weeks of so. She just loves getting mail, and these cards are the best! I’ve tried other postcard apps, but these use much larger photos (great for 90-year-old eyes!) and I can select the font and size I want. Plus I can choose different “stickers” and stamps that go with my story. The app itself is very intuitive, but if you make a mistake it’s easy to correct. And the customer service is fast and efficient. I also use this app to send thank you notes, invitations, and birthday cards. Love it!


Excellent and great way to keep in touch
Eric W Lindsay

I have been using this for over two years sending a weekly postcard to my now 2 year old grandson. His parents keep each one in a yearly three ring binder. This app is the best that I found: easy to use, numerous logical options, phenomenal printing, and consistency in quality and service. I have also sent to my siblings to keep in touch and they end up on refrigerators or their desks. Cost is very reasonable, OK, actually a great deal. When I purchased the app I did not know Bill Atkinson developed this but I should have known there was someone that is a genius with programming and a true artist. Thanks Mr Atkinson!


All time favorite app!

Highest quality cards make your photos lasting memories and great gifts.


Best Postcard App
CMD of PDX

I love this postcard app — i am eager for Bill Atkinson to release the new version. While my adventures have come to a grinding halt since Covid-19, I still want to send postcards to my mother. She’s nearly 90 and no longer uses her computer, iPad nor iPhone without help — an emailed card will likely not be seen. She still has some of the cards I sent her over the years pinned to her bulletin board - the quality of the printed copy is excellent, and as stood the test of time. Looking forward with great anticipation to the day when we can print again! Thank you for the excellent app.


Don’t let them steal your $$
nmam797

I purchased $40 in credits towards this service, however since then have been unable to redeem them. I received an email from the vendor offering me a refund, and when I took him up on the offer and said yes he told me he had changed his mind. DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$
