EnvelopeCat - Envelope Printer 4+

I was a long time user of Easy Envelopes, and it died. This is an adequate replacement and has a better view of the Contacts lists and contacts within. I was able to set up a custom size envelope, add a return address, and customize the font. I also adjusted the placement of the text on the envelope and added the postal barcode. Printing batches worked ok, but I highly recommend a single test print before doing a batch. It's the user interface that needs polishing. I hope the developer keeps working on it. 3.5 stars.

I found it hard to use at first, the instructions referenced drop-down menus that don't exist in this version. I managed to get it to do what I wanted but Apple Pages is about the same. I never could figure out how to "save" a created envelope format. It's a cheap app I didn't expect much.

For the price this is generally a good program. It allows you to select a number of predefined envelope sizes or create your own. It works very very well with Mac’s address book/contacts. If you are printing a single envelope or multimple, it really couldnt be much easier.

A few things should be improved:
1) If you are trying to add an image it will not allow you to select an image that you have saved. The only way that you can add an image is by a connected camera or scanner. In my opinion this is horrible! I already have my logo saved, I do not want to have to scan it every time just to insert it! This is frustrating and I would consider another app strongly if printing a logo is a must for you.

2) In the full screen view the editing toolbar dissapears. If you want to change font, color, allignment, etc. it is much more involved than if you are working in thr two smaller windows that they show in the preview screens of the app in the app store. If you are going to do editing, you do not want to use full screen! However, the two smaller split screens are more than enough so this would be more of a convenence that the developer should work on.

Overall I reccomend this app, especially if you are printing a basic envelope (just text). Fast & efficient!
