Postcard App - PostSnap USA 4+

... so good! I’ve just sent my first “large” postcard off so I won’t have any idea how the printing looks until a week from now, if it is in fact delivered in a timely manner to arrive to its destination within the next 7 days. Other than that, the process is super user-friendly and what I supremely love about this particular postcard app is how it allows customer to both have prepaid credits as well as the option to pay straight from our PayPal or debit/credit cards in case we might want to save our prepaid credits for another time, perhaps when money gets tight or something.

I also like how the creators of this app allow customers to prepay as low as $10; there are two sizes of postcard as of 8/9/18, the average postcard is $2-something and they offer a “large postcard”, which costs $3-something. I don’t know exactly how big the large is seeing as the creator provides millimeters and no use of inches whatsoever and I don’t know how to calculate metric off the top of my head, but I’m hoping the size is at least half bigger than an average postcard— we will find out sooner or later :-)

I have really enjoyed using this app while my 3 children attend summer camp in another country. Being able to send them my own photos directly from my phone has saved me the hassle of tracking down international postage or a trip to a mailbox. I'm able to write them each a short note every day and include a photo of something silly or showing what their Dad & I are up to at home. Or simply their pets sleeping on their bed missing them. Buying Postsnap credit in bulk in advance keeps the cost of each card reasonable, and I can write the cards anywhere anytime. (Riding on the bus or tube)

After using it for camp, I immediately saw the value of using it when traveling, as well. Most of my friends are on social media, but Postsnap is fantastic for sending photo cards to my 92 year old Father-In-Law, to keep him in the loop of where we are and the sites we're seeing; or even just to share current photos of the kids. Even my connected friends like a hard copy for the fridge!

This is a great app. Simple to use. Fun.

This app is killer! Very fun! Plus, I’m a photographer and it’s great to be able to send postcards of my work to loved ones.

There are other apps like this, Touch Note is one I used to use, but it’s more expensive, you have to sign up for a monthly payment plan/subscription, and you can’t put a little pic of yourself & your signature on the back like you can with this app. Plus, the prepay & save option in this app is great, and there are different fonts you can choose for the text, and there is the option of choosing a larger sized postcard (which is unusual & very cool).

Especially in this Pandemic, stay in touch in a fun way, and it’s ALWAYS fun for someone to receive mail, especially such personalized postcards! Little gifts your friends/family can put on the fridge or in a frame.

My worst problem is that it’s so fun to pick the pics & who to send them to, it’s like an addiction at this point, lol!

*Just make SURE you have the pic the way you want, and the address with you at the time of browsing or ordering to enter - once you proofread your card & it’s in your cart, you CANNOT change it unless you erase it & start over. You can’t even flip it over to remember what you wrote in the postcard or update the writing - it’s a little weird, but as long as you know that going in, it’s fine. I’ve had to erase a couple and start over, but not a huge deal.
