### 5/5 — Excited about the new updates in time for holiday Postcards.

*2021-12-07, version 2.23*

Wanted to share my excitement regarding the new updates of drag and drop, new editing features, and the 70+ photo collages now available. In less than 10 minutes, I was able to send out 50+ holiday postcards to family and friends. 

PostCardsAway is by far the best value of any of the apps out there, either $1.99 a month or $19.99 annually. I opted for the annual fee as I send out well over 100 cards a year.

Love, love love this app, and my family and friends love it too as they love receiving photographs of the past and present.

### 5/5 — Love love love!!

*2021-10-27, version 2.19*

So easy to send photos to loved ones. Either when we are on vacation or not, I send to my family!!   And price is very reasonable.

### 5/5 — Wow !

*2021-10-05, version 2.19*

What a fabulous Photo Collage Library  which is better than anything in the App Store. Way to go PostCardsAway!

### 5/5 — Wonderful product

*2020-10-06, version 2.13*

I love this. I can send a personal picture to anyone without leaving my home. It takes a few minutes and I am done. I had trouble with the new upgrade and Tom went out of his way to help me figure the problem out.  It was fixed very quickly. I am excited about the upgrades. Everyone I send my cards to are so impressed. The quality is amazing I don’t see how they make any money. I would love to have the skills to create a product as wonderful as this. They even gave me a refund on the two cards I sent. Most people don’t send cards any more only emails. It is exciting to get fun mail.  Keep up the wonderful work.

### 5/5 — My favorite app! So easy!

*2020-10-06, version 2.12*

I can’t believe how easy this is.  I can send postcards of my pics to friends and family all around the world with a few simple steps.  And I pay for it with ApplePay which makes it even easier.   It look just over two weeks for my relatives in Germany to receive their postcard. And it took less than a week for friends in the US.   I am so happy I found this app.

### 5/5 — Make the Grandparents Happy

Before choosing PostCards Away, I researched the App Store available post card applications. Prior to purchasing the PostCards Away App, I made my own post cards from photographs.
