Your final image can be sent via e-mail, uploaded directly to Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr, shared with apps like Instagram, Camera+, and Color Splash, printed, and even sent as a real, physical postcard through the mail!

Dev seems snarky about fixing the app. Fail.

New Design Pls!

Needs an update in terms of UI especially for Iphone X users! But overall the app is a 5 Star!

Used to be good

Crashes on iOS 12!

Does not work anymore
     
by Martyshka123 · October 31, 2018

There is now a paid version 2.0 in the store, and the free app stopped working more than a month ago. Looks like because of the paid alternative it won’t be fixed. RIP. I loved this app.
