Postagram Swap

there use this in british army its pretty kool .

Huh. I couldn't get this to work at all. The browser app does...nothing...when I try to upload a picture. The phone app crashes every time I try to log in.

The sincerely.com registration page didn't look...real. It didn't ask me to repeat my password. It said that it would send me an email so I could activate my account, but when the email came (10 minutes later) there was nothing about activating my account. I couldn't find anything on the postagramapp.com website about JOINING - just how to log in if you already had an account (eventually I stumbled across a link to sincerely).

It didn't say anywhere how much a postcard costs, and then the page to "add credits" says 5 credits for 99 cents. What does 5 credits get - why doesn't it say? Why would one postcard cost 5 credits?

When I tried to buy 5 credits, paypal wouldn't let me cuz it said there is a problem with the merchant.

I googled for postagram help - nothing. I googled for problems with postagram - nothing.

Basically, at every turn, this doesn't look like a "real" website. Has anyone else gotten ANYTHING to work?

I haven't tried the website yet, but 99 cents for a postcard sounds like a lot to me. If you have a printer (and who doesn't?) you can print out your own photo and glue it to some kitchen cardboard. Then it only costs 32 cents for 4” x 6” or 45 cents for a larger photo, to mail.

@BetsyPreston - I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with the site. Maybe @manders2280 can explain it some? I've not used this before...

@melusina - I think the beauty of this sort of swap is that, for people with smart phones, it's almost an instantaneous sort of thing. I personally don't have a working printer at this time. ;) And, in reference to the cost of a postcard, I suppose it depends on the card... the Cherry Blossom Centennial cards my father recently bought me in D.C. were $0.75 each! I suppose I'm used to my postcard totals running around $1.00+. :)

I've been sending postagrams for several months now. We don't have a printer. When I went to an out-of-state wedding several months ago, I sent a whole slew of these cards to people who could not come. I sent a photo of my spouse to my in-laws recently and they asked how to do one without a smartphone. $0.99 is less expensive than similar apps. Printing postcards from photos and mailing them is quite hot at the moment.

I tried the Postagram site just now and had trouble with the upload - right filetype, right size and it tells me the photo is too large. I've emailed photos from my computer to my phone so I could send them because I didn't know the upload feature existed. @rachelcdoyle sent me a postagram from her computer so I know it works sometimes.

postagram customer support has lots of answers, well organized and with a search feature. If all else fails, email your questions - or @BetsyPreston send them you complaints. :-) They are generous with free cards!
