What's your favorite postcard app?

I've never heard of this but it sounds interesting! I would enjoy being able to send something like that to our daughter & son when traveling. Looking forward to replies to this thread.

TouchNote! I love it and have used it since 2016.

We also use TouchNote. It's also easy to use and you can access all your photos to select the one you want for your card, easy to change photos if you don't like the look. You can also buy in bulk. The app saves the names and addresses you use so you don't have to keep looking them up. We found that it of course is more personal, and it often costs less than buying a post card and postage in another country. Though we keep in touch (no pun intended) with email and Instagram while we're on a trip and include pictures, our granddaughters (now on their late teens) still enjoy getting post cards in the mail.

I hadn't heard of TouchNote so just went there as I need a few cards. I could only see a little because it wanted me to have an account before I could see any of the plans or costs, For me, I prefer to know what I'm getting before I give my data. Oh well.

I have never heard of a postcard app before! Thanks for sharing this.

The online magazine TidBits is a friend of mine and a friend of theirs, Bill Atkinson, has an app they like a lot called PhotoCard,
so I'm taking a look at it.
The photography review site DPReview did a review of a pile of these apps, and their focus is on image quality, and they liked Ink.

So, so far our contenders are SnapShotPostcard, TouchNote, PhotoCard, and Ink.
Anyone want to speak up for Postagram?

is Moonpig worth a look?

@Nigel -- Moonpig does customized greeting cards with the option of adding your own photo, while the postcard apps start from the premise of using your own photo to make a postcard, and they offer a variety of canned options regarding fonts, layout, etc.
So they are similar but Moonpig cards cost more and theoretically take longer in the post/mail than a postcard.
One attractive thing about the postcards is that they are full-bleed so your photo has no border.

I'll add more observations as I fiddle with the apps ...

Love the quality of Touchnote, and I'm picky. I send a lot of them, so I bit the bullet and bought the 100 pack, which brings the price down considerably.

I have used Postagram for several years and it works very well. I'm not very tech savvy but this one is easy to use and the results are good.

@Ruth in Atlanta - tell us more about the 100 Pack in TouchNote:
do you have to use up the credit within a time limit, or does it last as long as it takes for you to spend the credits?
And are you sending things that cost 1 credit each or more than that? How much?

I'm doing the TouchNote free trial but the postcards haven't arrived in my relatives' mailboxes yet so I don't know if they like the look/quality. And for some reason TouchNote thinks it needs to add the country (United States) to addresses I enter, as though I was in Guernsey or elsewhere in the UK.

Try sending a couple to yourself, that way you can experience them directly. I’m very pleased with the picture quality and they arrive promptly within the 3-5 day window. They are actually mailed from Phoenix, Az. and somewhere else I think. You can add your stamps from one of your photos as well as a map. I find designing it fun.
I usually buy the smaller packs and you can use them up at your own pace. They send you notifications that you have so many postcards remaining. There is no expiration date, you have paid for them after all.

Update regarding TouchNote: my free trial has ended and now I've been charged a kind of membership fee of $32.76 which will automatically renew yearly unless I cancel. The membership includes one card per month and access to some extra features, I believe. In order to send more cards I will have to buy a 'pack' of credits as mentioned above, and the larger the pack, the lower the price per credit. If I don't pick a big pack, the cost per card seems to come out to about $3, postage included.

The app says it takes 3-6 days for the card to be delivered, but so far all my recipients have had to wait more like a week. Cards sent to the east coast of the US seem to come from N. Reading, Mass. and those to the west coast from AZ.

The good news is that everyone likes the cards themselves - high quality material and printing, easily legible, well worth sticking up on the fridge. Making and sending the cards on the iPhone app is pretty straightforward.

Next I am going to try out nature photographer Bill Atkinson's app called PhotoCard -- one immediate plus of this one, I see, is that using it to send an email postcard is free, and the selection of included nature photographs is very high quality.
