## What is Handwrytten?

Handwrytten allows you to send real cards and notes with your message written in pen and ink, and even include a gift card!  Just select a quality card, type your message and then optionally add a gift card.  Our robotic handwriting machines will then "wryte" your message in realistic handwriting on the card, address the envelope, insert the optional gift card and place it in the mail with a real stamp.  

Even better, it's even cheaper than running to the store yourself and buying a card, as our cards start at $3.25!

With a great selection of thank you notes, birthday cards, congratulations cards and "just for fun" notes, you are sure to find a greeting card that meets your needs.  Due to the high demand for thank you notes and birthday cards, we're adding new cards all the time.  So check the app often for new card styles!   Want to design your own stationery?  Visit handwrytten.com to create it, and it will then be available in your app!

Whether you like fancy handwriting, casual handwriting, or even messy handwriting, our robots can do it all and match the style that you're looking for.

When you can't be there for a special moment, or to follow up with someone after an important meeting, nothing says you care like an old-fashioned handwritten note.

### 1/5 — Can’t even login in to the app

*2026-06-22*

I don’t normally leave reviews.  I tried to create two different login profiles and wasn’t able to login in with either email address.  Don’t waste your time, I really hoped this would work.  The idea is a great concept!

### 5/5 — All good

*2023-09-24, version 2.6.8*

App works fine, and has a 4.1 rating in the US App Store. Seems to be the same version here but maybe the reviews are separate depending on the store? Anyway, good service and app. Only suggestion / request would be a bigger library of gifts to send along with notes. Specifically book… and ideally the ability to write the message in the book (thought I recognize that may not work with their robots).

### 1/5 — Can’t make new account

*2023-09-09*

Went through the trouble of writing a card but I get an error message when trying to create an account. Big problem!

### 5/5 — Rating

*2023-07-22*

I really enjoy this app…it’s so personal and I love that‼️

### 5/5 — The Real Thing

*2023-01-11*

I was a little skeptical, so I did a test of a simple note to my dad. It truly is incredible! What I love is the fact that it looks like it is written with a pen by hand, and that there is no other marking from Handywrytten to indicate that this was done by a robot. No marks of any kind from the company.  That is sheer Brilliance! I am recommending this to many many more business colleagues and friends alike. PS – I hardly ever write reviews, but this one deserves it!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind review! We are thrilled you enjoy the service and like the quality! Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to make the service better for you! Wryte on!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2022-01-31*

I’m in an Ldr relationship, and sometimes I want to send a gift without waiting weeks for it to ship and a simple card like this is a great reminder to your person that you love them! this app is truly amazing! I love that fact that you can customize your card with any font and different cards and the fact that it isn’t typed it’s actually written by a PEN!! which is incredible, it truly makes it feel that much more authentic! I love how inexpensive these are as well!

### 5/5 — A helpful solution

*2021-11-30*

System works great and helps maintain that personal touch while automating and streamlining the whole process.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2021-06-25*

This has been a lifesaver! Great service and delivery time. I get texts and calls thanking me for the cards! My only issue is seasonal cards and more choices. They had an “Americana” card in May but now it has disappeared around Independence Day. It would be necessary for the company to adjust cards seasonally and change them out more often in order for me to keep using the service. There is still Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Mother’s/Fathers Day but nothing for the upcoming July 4th. I send out about 25-50 cards a month and the lack of new choices will ultimately keep me from continuing with this service.

### 4/5 — Great app. Improvements could be...

*2020-08-11*

This app is GREAT. Truly I am obsessed with the idea of being able to send out handwritten cards without having to do all of the things: going and picking out and buying the card, actually handwriting (neatly), postage, and remembering to send... I just never follow thru. This app has allowed me to actually follow thru which is saying a lot. That said, a few improvements are imperative. First, we need to be able to include more words. The character limit is too low. Second, there needs to be more variety in cards. Third, more variety in gift cards would be great and maybe even partner with local wine and spirit and flower shops so that bottles and/or flowers can be sent with cards. Overall though, a great little app.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever - please get app testing

*2020-01-17, version 2.5.1*

Get to the address part and spent 30 minutes trying to get return address and send to address to work. Don’t get this app unless you want to be extremely frustrated.
