Postagram - App Review



There are many card sending Apps you could choose. The difference with Postagram is that the photograph (of your choice, of course) can be popped out of the card. In this way the recipient has the choice of keeping the card, the photograph, or the unforgivable... neither.

Now for the ACIDS test:

Aesthetics
The process starts with you picking a photograph, from your photo library, Facebook, Dropbox, or Instagram. You then crop and scale, remembering that the photograph that will be used is printed as a square.

The next thing to do is press 'continue' and enter your message, followed by simply pressing 'continue' again.

You now need to log-in, either with Facebook, or with a Sincerely account (or set one up, of course).

The message 'looks good, send it' appears and then you are about to make someone happy.

It's really as simple as that.

Cost
The App is free and cards are a mere $0.99 in the USA and can be sent pretty well anywhere. You can buy Sincerely credits and save on the total cost.

Indispensability
I hadn't sent a postcard in years and then used an App to send one... funny how things change.

Dependability
The App is extremely easy to use and works as expected.

Security
One of the ways of signing in is with Facebook, where you will need to give the App access to some of your information, as well as that of your friends.

Obviously the App will need access to your photos and contacts, otherwise there will be nothing to send to nobody! You can also manually enter names and addresses (better for security but much more work).


ACIDS Test Rating:

Holiday postcards that don't mysteriously get lost in the (hotel) post.
