Please get this going again

This is one of the best apps in the App Store but it stopped actually mailing their beautifully printed post cards. The e version is great but I always got wonderful feedback when a big personal card was delivered. I used it personally and for biz.

Buy Credits? NOT!

Tried for 3 days now. Researched how to and still it blows me out of the app. Can’t use if it doesn’t take my money.

When is this app going to be able to print and mail again?

I just love this app when you could mail actual postcards. Is this Peter going to be fixed?

Fun to send, fun to receive.

I have yet to find a post card app that is a flexible. Adding stickers and customs stamps to the back is what makes a postcard personal.

There is a note of a new version coming 🤞🏽
