Postcards from your iPhone, with Lifecards

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.

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.
