Good beginnings, but could use some work. I've used a decent amount of these services like bond.co, Handwrytten, and manually with lob. Excited to see a new mobile app come into the space!

Some of my observations if it helps:

- No pricing information up front, or any information about what it's going to send

- No delivery expectation statements, is it going to arrive in a couple days or a few weeks? Longer?

- Play store screenshot shouldn't use a Bob Ross-esque text but actually something that someone would send on a postcard

- 3d preview at the end was cool and a surprise factor, but would have been nice to control it with my finger and have the auto rotation slow down so I can see what I am sending

- Would be nice to be able to zoom in/out on the photo instead of being stuck with showing all of it

- Address field had no autocomplete making it time consuming to tap out

Looks really nice and I really like the name!!

I’m not sure I share as many concerns as the other commenter here. For example I thought the Thailand postcard example actually made sense.

I have a question though: would text in other languages work? Eg Japanese or Hebrew? (Both for the address and the postcard text itself).

A suggestion: make it clear from the App Store description that you can send to any destination worldwide.
