Turn Your Favorite Images Into Personalized Postcards With Postcard on the Run Mobile App

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Launching today on the iTunes App Store, Postcard on the Run (POTR) allows users to take a photo from their mobile device and send it as a real printed postcard anywhere in the world. The user-friendly 'snap, tap, and send' app  is free to download and makes it easy to create high-quality photo postcards, notes and invitations in just seconds.  Users can snap a new photo, use an existing photo, or get photos from their Facebook library.

"This free app combines the lost art of the printed image with the convenience of mobile technology," said Josh Brooks, CEO of Postcard on the Run. "You can create real photo postcards directly from your mobile phone -- we handle printing, postage and delivery.  Best of all, it's a meaningful gift for the people closest to you."

POTR makes it easy with "Snap, Tap and Send" functionality:

• Snap a new photo or use an existing photo from the phone or Facebook
• Tap to add a personalized message, signature, and recipients
• Send and you're done! Printing, postage and delivery is automatically handled for you

POTR intuitively finds addresses from existing contact lists -- or can tap into Postal Gopher, the exclusive built-in address retrieval service.

In true postcard form, POTR offers a full 4x6" print of the selected image on one side and a personalized message, the sender's signature and a mini map on the other.  POTR only allows sufficient image sizes to be processed, which translates into crystal clear, high-resolution photos on EVERY postcard.  The high-quality prints ensure friends and family receive frame-worthy, heartfelt keepsakes.

The POTR app is free to download. Each postcard is only $1.49, with discounts for users who want to purchase packages, and is easily paid via credit card. This ensures that every postcard is shipped within 24 hours of tapping "send." POTR is available for the iPhone and iTouch, with Android and iPad versions coming soon.
