PhotoCard by Bill Atkinson is a free app available from the iTunes App Store, that allows you to create custom postcards using Bill's nature photos or your own personal photos, then send them by email or postal mail from your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.

Bill Atkinson, Mac software legend and world renowned nature photographer, has created an innovative application and service that redefine how people create and send postcards.


With PhotoCard you can make dazzling, high resolution postcards on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, and send them on-the-spot. The app is amazingly easy to use. To create a PhotoCard, select one of Bill's nature photos or one of your own personal photos. Then, flip the card over to type your message. For a fun touch, jazz up your PhotoCard with decorative stickers and stamps. If you're emailing your card, it can even include an audible greeting. When you've finished your creation, the app can send it to any email or postal address in the world!

FEATURES:
  • No frustrations. Simple, intuitive, and fun graphical user interface.
  • No delays. Within minutes of thinking about a friend or family member, you can have a personalized PhotoCard on its way to their postal mailbox or sent directly to their email Inbox.
  • Make it postcard-perfect. Use one of Bill's stunning nature photos (included with the app), or resize, crop and adjust one of your own newly-taken or existing photos.
  • Write your message on the back of your card using one of many available fonts, sizes, and styles, including 50+ unique handwriting and decorative fonts.

  • Sending PhotoCards via email is always free.

  • Address correction makes certain your card is deliverable as addressed.
