Is there something wrong with this app? I like this app but for some time now it won’t load and says it doesn’t connect to the server? I hope we are not going to lose it. Please tell me what’s happening if you can. Thank you ### 3/5 — Not great, but not bad *2018-06-28* I didn’t see any real choices for an app for email backgrounds and actually wonder why that is. I thought I would try this free one first to see what it is like. It does have some decent choices for background designs but I could find no way to change the text to italics, etc. even though it says you can do that. So that is annoying, but the rest of the app works okay. ### 4/5 — Love It *2016-12-20* I have been using this app for a couple of years. I use it for thank you's, birthdays, Anniversaries, Christmas cards and just to say hello! So many choices that sometimes it's hard to pick one! I like being able to change the color of the text and also the style of the print although I would love to see more options there. I usually get compliments on the cards I send and really love using this app. ### 1/5 — Typical ......ugh! *2015-10-04, version 2.5.3* Yup.....spend an hour adding text to a wedding invite and then load text......of course the app crashed!! SCREEN CAPTURE YOUR PREVIEW, THEN LOAD THAT PIC INTO YOUR OWN EMAIL. A much better way to go. ### 2/5 — Back button suddenly stopped working *2015-10-02* This has been one of my favorite apps for a couple of years now and suddenly it no longer works. Whenever I need the back button it freezes. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling it (losing all my saved data by the way) and it still freezes when I need the back button. HELP. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Needs Fixing *2015-04-26* It looks like it would be very nice... Very nice images. However, I used it once to see how it worked, and after that first use, it shows that it needs to be reinstalled, but I've tried reinstalling it several times and doesn't finish installing. I'm not sure if the free (which is the one that I downloaded) has only 1 use and then you have to buy the other, or if it's a bug in the software. ### 1/5 — ... *2014-03-05, version 2.5* Rubbish that's all I can say really! ### 1/5 — A fix for backgrounds *2014-02-04, version 2.5* I was able to fix the backgrounds not showing by Going to the web site and installing it from there. I hope this works for you too !!😉 ### 1/5 — Email themes *2014-01-29, version 2.5* Loved this app until it stopped working, can't load picture into e mail anymore. Please fix soon. ### 1/5 — not good *2014-01-25* pic did show on sent email.....bad app ### 4/5 — Мило *2013-12-17* Безделушка, но очень кавайная ;) как вишенка на торте. Скачала и не жалею, уже воспользовалась при поздравлении подруги. Спасибо! ### 3/5 — Background is not appearing in Outlook *2013-12-12, version 2.5* I have used this from my ipad and have sent the emails to my pc which uses Outlook. The message appears but the background does not. It I send the email to my hotmail account I can see the background. Am I doing something wrong? ### 1/5 — Beware of this app *2013-12-10* I tested this app by sending a themed email to myself. When I opened the email, as soon as I touched my ipad screen on the received email, it opened the App Store at this app. If I'm sending my friends a Christmas Greeting,for example, I don't want to appear to be sending an app ad. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-08-02, version 3.0.0* The app malfunctions frequently, doesn’t load, gives an error message now that the app is always promoting to upgrade. Glitches to motivate upgrades is unethical. ### 1/5 — J *2024-07-25* I have used this app since 2015 It was so easy just pick a birthday card press send to email on my iPad Now you have complete changed it for the worse I now have to send it to some clip board and use Gmail and you talk about a computer I have not got the app on my computer it’s on my iPad. So now I can’t use it so will have to delete it it’s usless ### 1/5 — Lost info *2022-01-01* I have used this app for many years with no problems. Now it goes away while using, losing all my information.. Would be great if you could fix this. ### 1/5 — Failure *2020-12-22, version 2.5.5* Could prepare an email but could not email it. The two bodices failed. Need to use an external email app. Neither choices do not work on either app. ### 1/5 — This application does not work on iPadOS 14 *2020-09-30, version 2.5.5* Can’t get to work at all on my iPad with iPadOS 14. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work! *2019-10-30, version 2.5.5* Tried multiple times! Halfway through while typing my message, app just shuts down sending me back to my home page. Sad it didn’t work! ### 1/5 — Nice idea..wish it worked.. *2018-04-03, version 2.5.5* Worked fine without issues for one week then stopped. It won’t open. Continued buffering (spinning circle of doom). I gave up trying to get it to work...too frustrating. ### 1/5 — Unusable!!!!!! *2017-11-22, version 2.5.5* I wish I could give this a zero star rating. I have been trying for hours to make this work. I used this app for the last two Christmases for our Pollyanna emails. It was always hard to use, but this year? Impossible!!! I get the letter set up on my chosen background, but it will not send to my email and if I send to their server to send, it never gets sent. I wonder if iOS 11 is not compatible... BUT YOU NEED TO FIX THIS! The shame of it is that there seem to be no other apps available that are like this. Hard to believe! ### 1/5 — Problems *2016-12-10* I do enjoy the App. when it will connect to the server. ### 1/5 — Terrible-by👑👸🏻♿️ *2016-10-27, version 2.5.5* Just really really poor xecution. Gr8 idea, but either NEEDS 2 b upd8ed or re-written. Good selection of different styles. The specific issue is when I touch "text style" it does NOTHING xcept "warning! You must select & highlight text then select text style". I did that. Same warning. Over & over. Zero stars 4 not fixing this issue!! 😬 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect for Personalizing App *2024-07-23* This app is fantastic! The ability to copy backgrounds to the clipboard and easily paste them into Gmail is a game-changer. There are so many beautiful handwriting fonts to choose from, and the animated themes are absolutely awesome. Highly recommend for anyone looking to personalize their emails! ### 5/5 — Had this few years... *2020-04-19* I want to say.. a big thanks and I know we all appreciate what beautiful background you gave us,, I like to see more of sunsets free. Nature free, and how about art? And food? Besides the same ohh, but even. It’s awesome.. For Christmas I like to see religious. Christmas , plus. How about Valentine’s Day, with huge heart says I love you so much, Thanks for your time, ### 5/5 — Beautiful backgrounds *2018-04-29* I really love this app. I was sad to see so many bad reviews on it. Some people complained that you have to type in save and hen leave and then go back in. Lots of back and forth. I did not have this issue. I wrote my short emails straight from the program, and I love that it saves the ones I want to reuse as templates. Other emails that require a lot more time to complete I usually write in a word processed and then copy and paste into the program. The program sends your message onto a background of your choice and will push it to your mail provider for you to be sure it looks the way you want and to send the email. I have not tried the paid version. I might want to though. This was the only email background app I could find and it has always served its purpose for me. ### 5/5 — Absolutely brilliant *2015-12-21, version 2.5.5* I love this app, I use them to send to so many people and they are often updating them too, and now with moving objects, keep up the great work with more new ones please. Highly recommend 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2015-05-26, version 2.5.3* Have used this app for approx 18 months. The backgrounds have just got better & better, my friends all remark on them as they turn a basic e-mail into something special. Thank you so much. Kind regards June ### 5/5 — Beautiful email stationery *2015-03-20, version 2.5.3* Very nice app. Loved it 👍😍 ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-01-14, version 2.5* This is such a nice way to brighten up an email. I would highly recommend this app. Thank you!!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2013-09-29, version 2.5* Has a big variety of themes to choose from. They are very attractive. The 1 thing it took me a while to figure out was, once I made the email, how to actually send it. In case anyone else has had this problem, when you're on the preview screen, you have to actually scroll down because the page has more options at the bottom you wont see without scrolling down. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2013-09-11, version 2.5* This App is absolutely fantastic once you take the time to learn how to use it. All my friends love it too. I use it all the time and I've bought the full version as its so good. Totally recommend it. ### 5/5 — Sarah *2013-06-04, version 2.5* Good app goggle --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
