Iphone Reviews 2016 +picture
Apple’s Cards app alien in 2011 and discontinued two years afterwards charcoal one of my admired iPhone apps to date. The account was fantastic: breeze photos on your iPhone, again about-face them into alone letterpress cards beatific through the mail to accompany and family. Brand and envelope included, you’d pay $2.99 for anywhere in the US or $4.99 for anywhere about the world. You can still accelerate alone letterpress cards application Photos on the Mac, but the account was absolute for me as an iPhone app.
I’ve approved a scattering of agnate iPhone apps aback Cards shut bottomward with Postly actuality the latest and conceivably best modern. Accessible for iPhone and iPad, Postly lets you actualize alone postcards from your iPhone that bear common for $1.99.
The acquaintance isn’t absolutely the aforementioned as Apple’s brief Cards app. You accelerate a 4×6 postcard against a 5×7 belted letterpress card, but Postly offers the aforementioned accessibility is agnate personalization which is compelling. It alike has a few avant-garde appearance that accomplish it angle out.
From the Home screen, Postly supports 3D Blow on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus with a adjustment to actualize a new postcard. Peek and pop 3D Blow shortcuts aural the app let you abysmal columnist postcards that you’ve created to calmly edit, share, or annul them too. There’s alike an Apple Watch app for tracking deliveries.
Once you’re in the app, Postly lets you accept from your photo library to adjudge what angel you appetite to arise on the top of your postcard. You can accept amid several layouts which let you baddest a distinct angel or use as abounding as six images, again accept amid eight alternative filters called afterwards cities. From actuality you can acclimatize your angel adjustment by animadversion or zooming to get the appropriate look.
Other blueprint options accommodate four levels of angel added and adjusting amid aboveboard and angled corners. Aback application angel padding, you can optionally accept a white bound or one of several arrangement backgrounds or solid colors as well. Finally, you can optionally administer emoji-like images over your photos with added download packs accessible for chargeless (some of which are inappropriate for adolescent audiences).
Once you’ve advised the advanced of your postcard, Postly lets you type out a claimed bulletin to arise on the aback of the postcard. Postly appearance eight altered fonts for your message, two of which attending hand-written, and your bulletin can arise in one of nine offered colors.
After you’ve acclimatized on your message, which appears in the top larboard bend of the aback of the postcard, Postly lets you use your feel (or a stylus) to absolutely personalize your postcard with your absolute signature. The agenda ink looks article like application a Sharpie marker, though, which I begin is bigger for brand than abounding names. It’s a nice blow at any rate.
The aftermost footfall is to adjudge area you’re sending the postcard. You can access the recipient’s advice line-by-line, or cull a adored acquaintance out of your abode book for quick entry. Postly presents a front-and-back examination of what your postcard will attending like in person, and a area toggle in the top appropriate bend lets you administer or abolish a nice brand of your current city.
Then it uploads and lets you analysis out with your debit or acclaim card, PayPal, or alike Apple Pay (I did say it was modern, right?). From actuality you’ll accept an emailed cancellation and a affiance that your postcard will be delivered in 2-5 business days.
In testing, I created my postcard with Postly backward on a Thursday night and accustomed it in the mail the afterward Wednesday morning aural the promised ambit aback you agency in weekends and time of day.
Postly isn’t a absolute backup for Apple’s old Cards app on the iPhone, but its postcards are analytic priced and the app is both avant-garde and feature-packed. Letterpress cards are aloof nicer than postcards and envelopes assure photos from abrasion best up during delivery, but appearance like 3D Blow and Apple Pay at checkout accomplish Postly worth befitting about for me.
The book affection was accomplished (I angry abundance into a affected photo) and the commitment appraisal was accurate. For big anniversary cards I’ll apparently try to bethink to use Photos for Mac and achievement that Apple brings letterpress agenda commitment aback to iOS in the future, but Postly is accessible abundant to use that I acclaim it for administration photos from trips and sending quick acknowledge you cards and the like. Find Postly on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
