Postcard for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

  Postcard is poor

  This is a very weak app; very weak. It is not worth $4.99. First, it is incredible simple and lacking in functions. Second, what little it does do, it does weakly. Function : You can drag a photo into Postcard and then add some short, postcard type text. Then you can 'copy to clipboard' and paste the result into an email message in your favourite email tool. Apart from the cute postage stamp image, you can do all this in your own email tool, e.g. Microsoft Mail. Weak : even this simple app has a bug. If you use the 'save postcard as image' function, then the saved image includes an image of the edit cursor. It looks very odd and unpolished. Overall : My 100kB image + short text ballooned to a 800kB email. There is no reason for this; I gave up with this simplistic and useless app and simply formatted an email and attached my own images. Don't buy this waste of time app. I was fooled by the '4+' rating. I wasted $4.99 buying it and then wasted 20 mins figuring out it was junk with little functionality and no author support.

  Customised eCards

  Lovely way to make customised postcards. All you need is two pictures and your message. Awesome. Thanks.

  Works Well Enough

  This is a simple app that lets you create a postcard style image using two pictures you can select. The first image is the main image and the second image is used for the stamp. The image on the stamp is the cool feature. Even though this sounds simple, I can't find another app to do this so it is very useful. I use it to send out a christmas postcard, among other things. For whatever reason the other apps that try do this are not conducive to e-mail. I will say the documentation is a little weak in that I could not figure out how to resize the image. But overall a good single task app.

  So far, not so good.......

  Not sure what I'm missing here. All I can do so far is drag a picture into the postcard and adjust the text. I can't figure out the sidebar that gives options for stamps(no stamp so far) and on the Postcard Support website I see a bottom bar that looks like it lets me send the postcard, which I can't seem to do either. You either need to provide more instruction on how to use this, make it more obvious in the program, or provide and update. I just paid $9.99 for an app that I can't seem to figure out. I just followed the "usage" instructions and this app appears to be nothing more than pasting a pic into your email with some text written next to it. The "Open Postcard in Microsoft Mail" command doesn't work. If I can get some info on how to use this the correct way, I'll adjust my review.
