Quality
My Postcard is a high-quality app with lots of options to make your postcard or greeting card unique.

The instructions are clear and the payment plans and methods are laid out in easy-to-read format.

Entertainment
Unleash your creativity and communicate with loved ones near and far with this app. After all, who doesn’t like to get real mail once in a while? The app can access photos from your camera, your device, or Instagram. Once you’ve chosen a picture to work with, you can crop, resize, and add borders. There are also multiple styles of presentation you could choose, including a single picture and various multi-pics. The app is clear, though-if you need to edit your photo, you need to do that in a different system and then save your photo somewhere that My Postcards can access. All in all, it’s a fun, personal way to keep in touch.
