### 4/5 — Still a good app esp. newspaper page layout

*2020-02-10*

The apps designs for borders are a little old fashioned or silly. Things like the newspaper or other papers where you can send groups shots turn into something a little more creative. They have fixed some issue as far as sizing the fonts . Since there are so few Apps of just send an interesting ecard (I don’t want to mail hard copies most of the time). I left off one star for not really updating those borders. Strip designer is so cool this deserves coolness.

### 4/5 — Fantastic app, well designed, easy to use, endless creativity!

*2013-09-10*

This is one of the best I use on my iPad to have fun with photos

### 4/5 — Muito bom e profissional mas não está funcionando no IOS 6 no iPad.

*2012-09-23*

Depois que instalei o IOS 6 no iPad, o Lifecards parou de funcionar. Espero uma solução do desenvolvedores, pois o programa era muito bom, profissional, servindo de base para a divulgação de meus trabalhos.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2011-09-02*

I have tried a lot of these eCard Apps and this is one of the few I really rate. It's a brilliant way to easily combine three of four pictures in an attractive way and then use an App such as Touchnote to send the result as a physical postcard. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Very Slick!

*2011-08-14*

This is a great app - very well thought out. So many ways to tweak your postcards its amazing. This app is obviously a labour of love for someone - congratulations, it rocks!

### 5/5 — Life cards - Great!!

*2011-08-06*

No more arriving home from holiday before your postcards. This app is very sophisticated but very intuitive and let's you make a professional postcard easily and quickly. And it's great fun.

### 5/5 — Faultless

*2011-07-05*

Absolutely brilliant app. I take a friend from a care home out every week. I often send his parents a lifecard from wherever we are. He and I can choose 4 photos together, put them into a nice format and send them off. It's brilliant and it arrives looking exactly like the one I sent ( no stupid adds or plugs). Outstanding, thank you.

### 5/5 — Postcards

*2011-06-18*

Awesome app you can choose different piccys and design your own then save to your photo library , then use that picture to send as a postcard from holidays :-) ( using the postcard app ) cost just as much as buying from shop  and sending it!  But easier Plus it's more fun and your own pictures

### 5/5 — Great app

*2011-06-04*

Does perfectly what it says. Turns ur pics into unique postcards. Great concept!

### 5/5 — Lifecards - An app I will use for life!

*2011-05-30*

Makes great postcard type pictures. Everyone who I have shown the app to has bought it. Easy to use and great results. If you take any pictures you need this app. People have thought I scanned a postcard from the zoo and posted it on Facebook with this app, it is that good. 

Only wish they would put out more frames (pet type frames specifically) or sell a frame pack.

And the dude who rated it 3 stars because it is English only, does it say otherwise? NO. So why lower it's rating because you can't read?

Honestly they need a free version with very limited frames so people can try it out to see how great it is.

### 3/5 — なるほどー。

*2011-05-26*

posterっていうアプリの方がフレームはセンス良いと思う。でもこっちの方が加工の種類が多い。慣れればセンスしだいでいろいろかっこ良く出来るかも☆

### 5/5 — Great App

*2011-05-22, version 1.7*

Really enjoy being creative with my clients via email!  Thank you!

### 5/5 — One word EXCELLENT !!!!!!!!!!

*2011-05-17*

Best postcard app on Itunes, worth every single penny , can`t stop playing with it.Very easy to use and the results blew my hat off.

### 3/5 — It is a good idea but...

*2011-05-10, version 1.7*

I like this app. Templates are beautiful!  The only one thing I don't like about this app is that it does not support other languages. When I put non-English text, it looks fine on the screen but it prints out all garbled. I guess it works only in English.

### 5/5 — Love this App!

*2011-05-09, version 1.6*

Great Concept. Works great!  Great to send photos while on vacation

### 1/5 — Extrem kompliziert

*2013-10-14*

Unverständliche Bedienung.

### 1/5 — What's going on?

*2012-09-22, version 1.7*

I just got this app and I like the look of everything but nothing works it crashes all the time. When I enter a picture it will not show up. Don't know why. Does there need an update? I'm running iOS 6 now...? Help

### 1/5 — Can't resize!!!!

*2012-09-04, version 1.7*

I used this app to make hard copy postcards, designed a few, recently bought a nice printer and postcard paper. This app doesnt allow you to resize the postcards, and the default size is 8in X 10in. Prints a "postcard" the size of a sheet of paper. Completely worthless.

### 1/5 — Pure a**

*2012-01-15, version 1.7*

I just bought this app, i thought it was going to be a good thing to stay with creative, but insted it was very good piece of junk i done maid four cards i sent them through email to my family, and they din't received 'nothing'.a waste of time and money,

### 1/5 — Problème

*2009-03-18*

Quand j'ai terminé ma creation, je l'enregistre dans mon dossier photo mais celle ci est toute trouble!!!! Pourquoi???? Comment faire???

### 1/5 — Nunja...

*2009-02-24*

...es macht was es soll, aber die Layouts sind nicht so spannend. Da gibt's andere Apps, die das schöner hinbekommen.

### 2/5 — Nette App mit Macken

*2011-04-21*

Ich habe die App intensiv an iPhone und iPad getestet. Am iPad verrutschen reproduzierbar die Layouts, insbesondere bei den Rfelections. Was im Bearbeitungsmodus noch super aussieht, ist am Ende total unbrauchbar. Am iPhone geht's seltsamerweise besser. Die Layouts sind z.T. ganz peppig. Also: Bugfix, und dann gibt's 4 Sterne.

### 2/5 — Room for improvement

*2010-07-05*

From the description, I had high hopes for this app. The templates are neat and I liked being able to manipulate the photos. That part worked well. What was very disappointing was the text function. I found it very buggy. It was difficult to change the text size, and when I did it often put spaces into the text so that I had to delete it all and start again. When I finally got it the way I wanted it, I saved it to my Photos. OK...but when I opened the pic to send it to someone, the left hand side of the text was cut off! So...despite the neat templates and photo fun, it was an exercise in frustration. I hope the developers can fix this and then I'll enjoy using it!

### 2/5 — Nice work!

*2010-01-21*

Works like it should. Very reminiscent of the templates in OS X Mail.

Requests:

Please make the cards larger. We need to send these in hi-res.  ;)

Please allow for emailing directly from the app, in a hi-res size.

So far, so good!

### 3/5 — Can't wait for updates!!

*2011-11-03*

Love this app! Here's a few suggestions for updates:

1. Of course, more cards!! Better variety :)

2. Would love the option to move around the frames on the card to the position I want. Sometimes I have 2 landscape photos and the card on offers portrait. Would be nice to just turn it sideways myself and add my pic.

3. Maybe an option to move the text around to where I want it as well. LOVE the feature that allows you to download whatever fonts you want from the Internet (I wish more apps would follow your lead!!!) but I'm limited at what I can use the app for because of where the picture placement/text placement is. Please consider!!

3. Keep those stickers coming! That's a great feature!

Love what you've got here! Could be a great app! Thanks!

Use it daily.

### 5/5 — Still great after 10 years

*2022-01-28*

I love this app for quick posts and interesting photo messages.

Please update and keep supporting.  I’ve been using it since the first 16 gig iPhone. iPad didn’t exist yet!

What I’d like to see:
Some new and modern borders
The ability to add/use custom borders

That’s it, the only changes I’d like to see.

### 5/5 — Ich nutzte diese App seit vielen Jahren

*2019-11-19*

Tolle App, bin noch immer sehr zufrieden!

### 5/5 — Gute Postkartenapp

*2018-05-13*

Wir haben auf unseren Reisen schon viele schöne Karten gestaltet und verschickt. Kenne keine bessere Postkartenapp.

### 5/5 — Great Update

*2014-05-17, version 1.9.5*

I use this app to make trivia cards for my 8th grade History class and to Market for the High School Wrestling Team. The app is just perfect for any occasion. Great Update.

### 5/5 — No more stamps to buy!

*2012-11-13*

Really liked this app when I got it. Thought of a couple of things that would make it even better and pleased to see the developers have now included them!

### 5/5 — Great for Project-based Learning in the Classroom

*2012-06-23, version 1.7*

Our school had an event titled We Are The World so we used this app to create postcards of our country complete with photos and info. A must-have for all classrooms!

### 5/5 — First-rate app!

*2012-05-09*

I use this app during a month long roadtrip across the US.  My friends all raved about these "e-postcards" and felt they were traveling along with me. Incredibly easy to use! Tried other apps and nothing else compares...highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Huh! This is awesome! Happy customer here.

*2011-10-01*

Wow I was impressed at how easy this was and integrating my album from Facebook into a really professional looking travel card... This is a great app and found with a recommendation from the app store genius suggested.  Very happy so far. Six stars!
I like the fact of integration with other services...fb, etc

### 5/5 — My favorite ap!

*2011-09-19, version 1.7*

I love this ap and use it more than any other. Great updates, thanks!!
