### 3/5 — Mission Unaccomplished

*2026-03-29*

Let me just say that the quality of work is top tier! This is why I gave 3stars! Customer service is non existent and for this to be a business who’s stepping in as the middle man so we can reach the inmates there should be no reason a package sent from this business is confiscated because they made the return address my home address. This gives the prison the idea that I sent mail from home when I purchased, uploaded my photos and everything on this app. I am disgusted that I received a book back to my home address in April 2026 that was purchased and shipped incorrectly from Flikshop December 2025. Yes! The emailed customer service about it snd no reply still to this date. They need to do better for the price we pay in credits because you can’t direct pay and the credits are in inconvenient increments.

**Developer response:** Hi, this is Marcus, founder of Flikshop. You're right and I'm sorry. We ship each order with your Return Address because that is what most facilities require. Please email info@flikshop.com with your order number and a reference to this review. We will look into your December order, get you all of your Flikshop Credits back, and ask you to try again. This time, please add Flikshop HQ's address as the Return Address and you'll be good to go. Thank you for telling us about this issue! I really want to ensure that you have a great Flikshop'ing experience.

### 2/5 — Flikshop

*2024-09-21, version 6.3.24*

Unfortunately I can't get it to work..it won't let me do anything.

### 2/5 — Not receiving post cards

*2024-06-03, version 6.3.18*

Not receiving post cards

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-12-25, version 6.3.6*

Everything is great about this app. The only thing I ask is to have  it ship out faster , other than that very good!

### 2/5 — Loved one never received photos

*2023-12-13, version 6.3.6*

Unfortunately my loved one NEVER received the 10 photos I had sent through this app. She received the post card but not the multiple photos. It is way passed the Est Delivery date as well

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2023-11-26, version 6.3.6*

I recently just found this app and think it is amazing. I am able to send my husband photos of me and him and if I can’t afford them, I can send a request to Flikshop angels and they send me credits!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2023-10-31, version 6.3.4*

I’m a juvenile chaplain and love being able to be an encouragement to the young people who transition to adult facilities and need extra support and love. I can send a card anytime & anywhere!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2023-10-23, version 6.3.4*

I love this app! I’m able to quickly send a postcard with a note to let my loved one know I’m thinking about them. I’ve been using the app a couple of years now.

### 5/5 — Improved

*2023-07-16*

I already used Flikshop as my go-to way to send images to penpals, but now it’s even better. Now you can send pics for half the price of postcards. It now also allows you to add your penpal to a “neighborhood” so they can get even more penpals, especially if you already have a lot and can’t help everyone. Soon you’ll be able to send letters, not just postcards.  This might be the only way to send color anything to super strict prisons that don’t allow colored paper.

### 5/5 — Staying Connected

*2023-07-08, version 6.3.1*

This is great. I can send a postcard and it is quick and easy. It is a great way to send news about home!

### 4/5 — Review

*2023-06-30*

I love how this is offered for people like myself to send loved ones a reminder that we haven't forgot about them... only problem I've had is people not receiving their postcard or it being 3 weeks or longer before they receive it. Thanks for all you do and offer thou...I greatly appreciate it!

### 5/5 — Makes communication easy

*2023-04-30, version 6.2.8*

I often forget to mail off letters. The app simplifies the process.

### 5/5 — A good Idea

*2023-04-05, version 6.2.7*

This is a lovely idea to keep in touch with your family incarcerated. Thanks Flikshop

### 5/5 — A must have for incarcerated loved ones.

*2023-04-01*

Flickshops are not counted as pictures at many DOC mailrooms therefore you can send an unlimited number to your loved one they are considered male and this is the most convenient way to show them how life is progressing on the outside.  Always delivered within a week or less!  Puts a smile on every time!!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-02-06, version 6.2.3*

This is a great app to show your incarcerated loved one that you care. Quick and convenient send a postcard for less than the price of a stamp.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2023-01-28, version 6.2.3*

This app is so creative and my friends love it and it’s cheap 😊

### 1/5 — Not good

*2026-03-02, version 6.3.36*

App was made by a high school student?

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever

*2025-09-23, version 6.3.29*

I wouldn’t recommend this app i paid to have my pictures sent and he still haven’t got them. They saying they can’t find my account I’m just so through with this app. Save your money and your time download another app

### 1/5 — Not great.

*2025-01-16, version 6.3.26*

Every single time I use this app there seems to be an issue. I made a purchase of 10 photos to be sent to my fiancé, they never arrived when he was in there. I tried reaching out about a refund, and I never got it. THEN I just purchased 20 Flikshop credits and it charged me 6 TIMES. That’s $173.99 total. THEN the credits never showed up in my account. I’m honestly sick of this app. I got one postcard through, but the other 10 photos, VOID! the $173.99 that it charged me for nothing? VOID!

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2024-02-12*

I sent off 10 photos to be printed as an order and then received tracking information. Then I tell them that the tracking that I got wasn’t working because it took me to a USPS website from the app and then they informed me that no it’s actually a UPS tracking and so I’m sitting there and waiting and watching as the order updates and then all of a sudden the tracking is no longer available and so then I reach out to them and they said they’re going to reprint my order so once they did, they never gave me a new tracking number and when I asked for it, they told me they only offer tracking numbers for their albums, which that doesn’t make any sense, because initially the tracking number was showing up within the app for my order and now when I go to search my tracking information from my order, it’s now populating, but it’s still saying the same thing like it’s not showing up so I think this app is a Forrest and a fake and I don’t think they’re actually really printing out anything and there is stealing peoples money, so don’t use this app. Use Pelly post or something else, the customer service is horrible they don’t even help you and they lie and keep giving you the runaround so don’t waste your money and use a better app or print out the photos and do it yourself

**Developer response:** Hi, this is Marcus, founder of Flikshop. Reading this, you got the worst version of Flikshop and I'm sorry. Tracking confusion between USPS and UPS, then a reprint with no new tracking number, then no real answer when you asked again. That is failure across the board. We are not a fake. Every photo is printed and mailed. But the experience you had is unacceptable. If you're open to it, please email info@flikshop.com with your order number and a reference to this review. We will refund the order, resend the 10 photos at no cost, and ensure that this never happens again. Thank you for telling us where we failed. Again, I'm sorry! Let's make this right.

### 1/5 — Over 8 pictures not sent to my loved one !!!

*2021-01-09, version 5.0*

This app always gets stuck on “estimated delivery” and my loved one has not received over 8 photos sent to him. This is extremely annoying and an inconvenience. He asks me everyday do I know the status of the photos because he is anticipating them. This app has been a total waste of my time and money especially since no one in customer service responded to my e-mail!! I WILL MUCH RATHER PRINT THE PICTURES OFF MYSLEF AND SEND THEM MYSLEF !!

### 1/5 — Update is trash

*2021-01-01, version 5.0*

Now you can only send one photo and they don’t even show you your photo history .. how am I suppose to know what photos I’ve already sent ?! And then they say it’s tracking but there’s no tracking on the photos !!! Let alone the history of photos already sent

### 1/5 — New Update.

*2020-12-23*

I hate the new update, it’s way more confusing .. plus they took away the option to send two pictures (the big one and the small one on the top) that’s so dumb, I wish I never updated the app. Also, I hate how you can only either purchase 1 credit, 10 or 15 .. why not make it to where we can choose the # we want manually, I’m never buying 20 credits .. I rather manually enter in my card # 5 times, but I guess that’s their trick to make you purchase more. When a new app comes out better than this one, this one will be deleted. Will never use again.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you so much for using Flikshop. Our team is sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with our app. We are constantly working to improve, and your feedback is valuable to us.

### 1/5 — Great idea! Can’t get it to work!

*2020-11-20, version 4.4.3*

I’m mot sure if anyone really uses this app!!! I just downloaded it. I find it NOT user friendly and I can’t even figure out how to make a postcard! Super frustrating and I was excited about this! Let me know when this app is working and user friendly. 🥲

### 1/5 — Hard to contact

*2019-07-02*

I have written several emails to customer service regarding my postcards with no response. I have gone onto Facebook and have written a message regarding my postcards. No response. I have called the customer service number listed with no response. All I want is answers as to why my postcards have not been delivered to my loved one when it has been three weeks. I am so disappointed that he hasn’t received them and I invested money into these cards. Also disappointed with the lack of customer service response. Makes me wonder if this is even an legitimate company.

**Developer response:** Hi Duke! Thank you so much for using Flikshop! Can you tell us more about this issue you're facing at info@flikshop.com? It will be very helpful for us to investigate and fix it. We DEFINITELY want to ensure that your loved one receives your postcards. Also, please be sure to update the app to the latest version! Thank you.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t have the jail I need

*2018-08-02, version 3.2*

I need Clark county jail Springfield Ohio, would have been nice to know u don’t send to that jail before I spent 30 min preparing the post card, maby have the app set up where you search for the facility first to avoid this problem.

### 5/5 — Best Company ever

*2026-07-20*

I was having difficulty manually entering this ridiculously long address for my loved one, and the owner of this company was kind enough to work with me and with her production person to fix it. God bless this company! I love these postcards!

### 5/5 — Use this app to help everybody you love

*2026-05-03*

I started using this app because I loved a few folks who were incarcerated and then as the time went on and they opened up access, I was able to use it to send communication to anybody that I want, including my daughter who is on a mission and all the people that I love that I just don't get to connect with enough. It's such a wonderful way to have access. You have access to your people for low cost and to send them beautiful photographs and messages and it just makes all the difference in the world. Thank you so much for creating this beautiful thing for everybody

### 5/5 — Thank you Flikshop

*2026-03-05, version 6.3.36*

Your website was easy to use and it sent my photos fast. Thank you again Flikshop I’ll be using this in the future.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2025-03-05, version 6.3.27*

This app really helps lift up sprites while your loved one is locked up

### 5/5 — Flikshop

*2024-12-12, version 6.3.25*

The site is very easy to use, and convenient when I don’t want to write a full letter.

### 5/5 — I love This app

*2024-06-30*

i want to say Flikshop is the best better than all the rest by far if you want to send mail letters postcards or photos to someone locked up. My loved one really loves all of the bueatifull postcards too.. he really gets all happy when he gets postcards that ive personally picked the photo for the postcard and Flikshop makes and sends them out to the prison where hes at. all the work and effort is so appreciated you all are God sent. Thank you for making it possible for making a man locked up doing life without parole smile again..

### 5/5 — Review

*2024-04-11, version 6.3.14*

I love this ♥️

### 5/5 — New themes

*2024-02-23*

I love this app and I love how quick and easy it is for me to just send something to my fiancé. My only complaint is I wish they would change up the themes and options for postcards much more often. I would spend much more money if there was a bigger variety for me to choose from but once I feel like I’ve sent him every postcard they have, I stop sending until there are new ones.

### 5/5 — Thank you so very much

*2024-02-01*

Flickshop is the best most wonderful way to keep in touch with loved ones that are locked up and to send them pictures is the most uplifting thing ever for them!!! Thank you FlickShop

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-01-30, version 6.3.9*

I seriously love this app. It helps me stay connected to my incarcerated loved ones. I love it
