Apple's New Cards App is Now Available
Posted October 12, 2011 at 7:18pm by iClarified
The new Cards app from Apple lets you create and mail beautifully crafted cards personalized with your own text and photos - right from your iPhone or iPod touch.
Take a quick snapshot and with a few taps and swipes, an elegant thank you note or "wish-you-were-here" card is on its way to any address in the world. Choose from 21 designs and customize your card with a personal message and photo. Then select an address from your Contacts and place your order in seconds. All your cards are saved automatically, so it's easy to send an invitation or birth announcement to more than one person.
Custom letterpress cards
Cards combine a centuries-old letterpress technique with your digital text and photos
Each card is crafted from 100 percent cotton paper and imprinted with an elegant debossed design
Choose from 21 designs for six occasions: Thank You, Holiday, New Baby, Birthday, Love, and Travel
Customize the placeholder text for any occasion, such as an anniversary or graduation
Add a photo to your card or send one with just text
Location integration
If you select one of the Travel designs, your card automatically displays the name of your current location
Choose a photo with GPS data, and the card shows the name of the place where the photo was taken
Prepaid postage included
U.S. customers can send a card within the U.S. for $2.99 including postage
Send a card anywhere else in the world for $4.99 including postage
Select an address from your Contacts and easily personalize it - from Mr. Johnny Appleseed to The Appleseed Family, for example
To place your order, simply enter your Apple ID password
In the U.S., your card will include our own Apple-designed postage
Delivery notification
Cards mailed to U.S. addresses make use of the United States Postal Service Intelligent Mail® barcode
On the day your card is to be delivered, you'll receive a notification on your iPhone or iPod touch
Card history
All your cards are automatically saved and can be viewed in a history list
You can resend any card to another recipient - perfect for when you have a lot of friends to thank or you want to spread the word about the newest member of your family
Total order price includes postage. For orders with a U.S. billing address, sales tax will be added to the order price. For orders with a non-U.S. billing address, the order price will include applicable VAT.
You can download Cards from the App Store for free.
