Christmas, New Year, Winter Holidays Gift Cards app review: send your loved ones greetings

Reviews

Introduction

There's no need to send out piles of Christmas cards in the mail when instead you could send personalized holiday greetings to all your loved ones by using your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone. The Christmas, New Year, Winter Holidays Gift Cards app gives you a way to create beautiful and personal cards for your family and friends. What's great is that you don't have to rely on snail mail to ensure your card makes it on time.

Taking Away the Hassle

I have to say that other than fighting the Christmas shopping crowds, the thing I least look forward to at holiday time is writing out all the Christmas and New Year greeting cards. It always starts out okay then in no time I'm making spelling mistakes, suffering from hand cramps, and just feeling flustered in general. Then you need to make that special trip to the post office to buy enough stamps, and don't forget to head back out and mail all your cards because you left them at home. What starts out looking like a quick and simple process suddenly turns into a giant chore.

For me the thought of sending personalized virtual greetings is an absolute stellar idea. This app allows you to send Christmas, winter-themed, and New Year's cards to all your loved ones quickly and easily. You can write your cards out using the keyboard or your finger for extra ease of use.

 

Creating Your Cards

When you enter the app you will find that the user interface is sleek and simple, making it easy to find what you want. Tap on the images on the bottom of the screen to choose the type of card you want to create: Christmas, New Year, or Winter. From here you will be directed to the menu of options in that theme. Each theme has a wide selection of cards and some even include sounds.

The process in which you personalize the card by adding your greeting proves to be a bit tricky I’m afraid. I think it may be easier on a bigger screen such as the iPad. You will be able to key in your personalized greeting, choose the placement, the font, and the color of the text. It seems I'm not the only one who has difficulty figuring out how to use this app as other users have said the same thing.

It should also be noted that even though the app is free to use, when it comes time to sending the card you will only be able to do so if you have purchased a card package. You can purchase three, nine, or 25 cards.
