Postcards from your iPhone, with Lifecards

Glyn Evans The next time you go on holiday (vacation) with your iPhone, why not use it to email your friends and family a fully customisable and personalised postcard. Well with Lifecards [AppStore Link] from Mexircus, and priced at £1.79 ($2.99) you can. This is a fairly complex application with more than 350 templates in 20 categories that is easy to use. You can add up to 4 photos per template, control scale, position, and rotating of photos and alignment, color, size, and font of text.
Features:
- More than 350 templates in 20 categories with more to come.
- Up-to 4 photos per template.
- Control scale, position, and rotating of photos.
- Control alignment, color, size, and font of text.
- Complex visual engine allows free pan and zoom while manipulating card.
- Automatically adapts to landscape and portrait mode.
- Save cards to finish them later
- Automatic save and restore when you exit and reenter the application
- Change templates without changing contents
Overall this is an easy to use app, that you can either throw together a quick postcard as my sample below shows, or you can spend a bit more time over the card and include the usual boring stuff about where you've been and what you've done. When you've completed your postcard you save it as a jpg, then simply attach it to an email and send.
This app is so feature rich that my review, no matter how long could not have done it justice, so I have 6 promo codes to give away, so if you want one just ask, but as usual you will need a US iTunes account to redeem the code.

Looks like a very good app. If you like it, Glyn, then I'm sure it's a real winner! Thanks for the giveaway Glyn and I hope I'm a winner too! ;)
It is amazing all of the photo apps that are out for the phone. And quite a few that are such good quality. I would love to add this to the collection if you could spare a code. Thanks Glyn for all these reviews.
Looks like a great new app and would love to try it - thanks.
I would love a code. Thanks.
This looks great. Perfect for my pindropr site. If you have any promo code left inwould love one.
Cheers.
I'd love to check this one out!
Thanks for the review and giveaway Glyn, I could see myself using this a lot when I go to Disney in June :D
Promo codes have now gone out, sorry to those who did not get one.
Sad that I missed this promo even though I was the 5th commenter. I am going to have to buy this one. It looks pretty nice and lots of features and layouts.
Thank you Glyn for the code. I really appreciate it. I went and bought Symmetry also based on that review that you posted. Thanks again.
This really is a great app. I did a quick review and gave you some credit Glyn for the free code.
