Wasted time
Normal stamp prices then they actually charge you for shipping and handling (really?). I'll just stop off and buy some stamps when I need them. That's a half an hour of my life I'll never get back!
Yay USPS! (Yes, really, CynM!)
I grew up with a dad who was a US postman. I am so proud of USPS for taking this bold marketing step into our current tech-infused way of life. Most folks fail to realize how amazing our federal postal system really is, even after all these decades, & how frequently we take it for granted. Additionally, people don't realize how close we come annually to, literally, losing our USPS mail delivery to our homes & businesses. The competitive parcel delivery market is working as a shining example of how free markets should work, and has caused USPS to step up their complacent game & create compelling marketing strategies & advertising. I, personally, am impressed with the app for my I-phone, the ease of use, & the classic design of the mailer (with well-loved Peanuts characters). I'm buying stamps today because of this marketing!! Relevant, time-saver for the holidays, AND entertaining to boot! Great job, USPS!!

Fun!
Perfect timing! Great app from USPS! The kids love it! They point out "daddy, there's another post office sign!"
Location services
Just got this app and haven't used it yet BUT, right off the bat, it asks about running location services all the time, even while in the background. I went to settings to set it for only when I'm using the app. The only 2 options are never and always. Needs a 3rd option (only when using the app).
UPDATE: If it gets stuck in camera mode, go to your settings, click on USPS AR and you can switch the camera off.

Cute App
This is a cute app. Looking forward to scanning various mailboxes and seeing what comes to life. Just another way to brighten the holidays. If you need lots of Post Office information, go to the main USPS website.
You don't need my location
It's one thing to ask for my location while I am using the app. It's a completely other issue to want it all the time, even when I am not using it.
Fun!
My 8 year old and I are both enjoying this app. It's easy to use. I am being told that I must pull over whenever he sees a USPS blue mail box!
Pointless without the correct piece of mail.
Even if you do have the correct piece of mail, it's pretty redundant as you can do everything on the website or through the regular app. This app is not worth having on my phone taking up space.
Idiotic App
No directions - stick on camera until you point it at the brochure and gives stupid video. Forces you do do this to get to menu. To bad I can't rate it zero stars
Cool APP
I think this is really but I wish you could save the ones you have looked at to view again later.
