CardSnacks: ecards, greetings 4+

New Customer

I found this app Christmas Eve 2020 and thus far I have REALLY enjoyed it. I was able to send personalized cards to my staff and family members. I even sent a few gifts via Apple Pay (loved the various options)! One improvement would be to allow responding with a response without the option of creating a new card. I did just reply via text but it would’ve been nice within the app. Outside of that one possible improvement, I thought the app was very efficient. I liked the music selection as well - while limited, I found more than a few songs to use. My teenage nieces and nephews thought my e-text card and gift were soo cool! So, I’ll happily except my “cool auntie” status :)

Developer Response ,

Hi RoyalT Baby...Thanks so much for your kind words. We're happy that we helped you achieve "cool auntie" status :). And thanks for the feedback on offering more options for responses. It's a great suggestion and something we will definitely consider for adding in the future. Thanks again!

Easy, Creative, AND Impressive Results

I had a wonderful time this month using CardSnacks to create custom Christmas cards for 5 family members, in about 10-12 minutes.

There are so many entertaining and beautiful-yet-simply animated designs to choose from; as well as the option to use your own photos and videos, that you’d never get bored. The cards look great when you receive them too, but I would also like to see updates to embrace the iPhone X display.

Text on the cards can be customized as well, but I would love to see enhancements in this area too, like being able to wrap text above and below images and animations, and animating the text itself a-la the Messages app screen effects.

You can also add music to your card, and the included options are cute and enhance the recipient experience-and once again you can choose your own custom music if you prefer.

There was only one thing I found to be negative in my overall experience: when returning to a card to modify or customize it, in order to change the text I also had to delete the image on the card, which can cause some lost time if you had previously resized and positioned a photo to best fit the card frame.

Finally, I would love to have more amount options available for the various gift cards. Being able to pay for a new Playstation game for my brother for example, would have been more exciting for me than just the $10 gift card option that was available at the time.

All and all I’d say: try it :)

Correction

I quickly wrote a review because I was having problems with the app and I guess I did so prematurely. The developer reached out to me immediately to help me with it and come to find out.. I was expecting it to do something it didn’t do. I thought the app would be open when you texted it to someone instead of just a link to the site for them to open it. Also when you hit the link it takes it to the front of a card that you have to click before you open your actual card that you created and sent. Still, it was just a little work around that I didn’t know to do and they were very prompt to respond. The only reason I’m not giving it five star is that it would be better if the card opened up inside the text message rather than sending a link directing them to a different page to open it. I really dolove the app. It’s fun it’s free and now that I know how it’s working I don’t have a problem with it. Cool app and great support!
