I’m a techy girl that enjoys apps. I probably spend more time on finding cool apps then I do on Pinterest projects. I like user friendly and practical apps. I’ve been known to be a little overboard about documenting the lives of my children with photos. Postagram got my attention right away. I take pics shamelessly of everyone and every little thing for two reasons:
- I live on the other side of the country from where I grew up and I don’t want my faraway family to miss a moment of our lives since we don’t get to experience life together in the same town.
- I’m a photo junkie and maybe a bit of a bragger? Who doesn’t want to share all the cute things their kids do?
With Postagram you can use photos in your smartphone library, Facebook, or Instagram. It’s user friendly and in a matter of seconds you can send those who don’t see your pictures via a smartphone, Facebook, or Instagram (or even those that do) a 3×3 photo on a postcard.
A few initial ideas that came to me for using this app would be for:
- Grandparents or anyone that would enjoy snail mail (an old fashioned postcard)
- Kids who are away at camp and are “unplugged” from technology
- Friends in faraway places (I sent a Postagram to Palau!)
Encouragement to a friend (Our Annabelle made friends with a man in our church who lost his wife this past year. They got a cute photo together last week and I sent him a Postagram to hopefully give him something to smile about when he checks his mail.)
The Postagram app is free to download, and operates on a credit system. To send a postcard by US mail, the cost is $0.99 or 5 Sincerely credits. To send a postcard internationally, the cost is $1.99 or 10 Sincerely credits. That is cheaper than buying a postcard and putting a stamp on it!
Simple readers can use this code: sincerely.com/promo/summercamp which will get you 10 credits, which is good for 2 domestic or 1 international Postagram. You earn credits for inviting friends and scanning postcards too!

July 27, 2012 at 6:51 pmthanks for the write-up Ginny. We’re excited to hear you are enjoying Postagram! One additional fun thing your readers might like to learn is that our 3×3 photos are die-cut to pop-out of the postcards. Every photo is perforated around the edges. My girlfriend and I often pop-out photos and put them on a cork board.
Thanks again,
Matt
