Have you ever taken a really cool photo while visiting an exotic place and thought “this would make a great postcard”? Well now you can send a postcard from your iPhone without a printer or a stamp.
Postagram is an iPhone app that connects to your Instagram account (another really cool app) and allows you to send a real postcard to anyone in the world for just $.99. What a great idea!
I tried the app out yesterday to send a great springtime photo of my daughter to her grandparents in America, without having to visit the Dublin post office. The app connects to your Instagram account and allows you to select from any of the photos you have already posted there. Don’t forget to utilize Instagram’s cool filter effects for retro-looking postcards.
You can customize the message for your postcard and your Instagram profile picture appears next to your name on the card as well. You’ll receive a confirmation email that your postcard is being printed and will be dropped in the mail in the next 24 hours, to arrive in the next 2-5 days.
One of the coolest features of the postcard is the ability for your recipient to peel off the square photo which is suitable for framing or the fridge.
Check out Postagram today and if you’re lucky like me, you’ll get your first postcard free.
