Apple Thoughts - News & Reviews on all things Apple

"Apple has updated its Cards iOS app with several new card designs."

I love this free app. It makes it so easy to send a card without having to go to the store and buy one, and they are customized with a photo. Now they have added Mother's Day and Get Well card designs to go along with the other categories.

"Introduced alongside iOS 5, Cards allows users to produce and mail made-to-order letterpress greeting cards with nothing more than an iPhone or iPod touch. Sounds pretty slick right?"

Indeed it does sound slick!! Apparently though, it isn't as slick as it first appears. But I do like that you can send a complete card postage included for $2.99 USD. They seem to have issue with the fact you cannot use iTunes account balance and have to use credit card, but that doesn't bother me too much. They also feel it is unpolished, but from what I have seen it isn't too bad. However, this is coming from someone that hasn't used it. How about you? Have you used it? If so what are your thoughts? Or have you used something similar with better/worse results?

These are pretty cool, and they would be a good compliment to the coaster set based on app icons the same company came out with about a year ago. These retail for $25.00 USD and are available from the Meninos site.
