Equal parts slow, limited, and considered, sometimes a postcard’s journey originate on a disused wire rack, a spinning metal tumbleweed that tourists examine, consider and walk by. After perusing the available selection, a traveler may revisit their experience through the memories invoked from the manufactured sites and vistas: a hike recently completed; a night out (whose impact has yet to be thwarted by the cafe down the street); a tall building in holiday regalia, both celebratory and offensive. After remembering where that pen went, a barely legible message is scrawled (as who practices penmanship?), an inscription added, after which the true journey begins: where is the nearest Post Office? Do they even exist in this remote coastal town? How long will it take to get there? I will be home before this arrives, what’s the point? This app allows one to share a single photograph with another, in an act of kindness while separated across space and time. A postcard can be authored either straight from the app, or by starting with a photograph from any application and sharing it. Text, when applied to create a unique object, manifests as a physical postcard sent in the mail to the intended audience. What makes this experience unique is what happens after the postcard is sent. Each purchase entitles the author to a conversation, as every physical postcard sent includes a QR code, unique to the recipient. When the recipient receives the postcard, they can respond as quickly as possible: select a photograph, write a brief message, send. To: and From: addresses are not necessary, as that is defined by the original author.  What was once a solo method of communication is now a social experience. The traveler’s destination is no more important than the lived experience of the recipients, as the journey is what matters most. The pending conversation between friends takes place over weeks, not seconds, and the physical artifact is a persistent reminder of the bond and exchange. Share your photography. Reply to your friends. Let them know that you "Wish You Were Here" by sending them the gift of a postcard. Features: - Send a postcard in minutes, receive a reply weeks later (roughly 7-10 days each way in the US, 10-20 days internationally) - AppClip support for replies: no app necessary to respond - Playful experience for browsing your previously sent postcards - Send postcards to many international destinations ## Wish You Were Here Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/45/73/7b/45737be6-e4dd-7d89-9e02-4f083fa3d61d/aa285a19-4a70-4a04-a02d-7e3de0a2cb87_English__U005ben_U005d__U007c_iPad_-_iPad_2nd_Gen_-_2.png/2048x2732.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/f9/2f/6f/f92f6fa2-787e-0688-c61c-f84d8e233d4f/43a7b446-0841-4620-ab31-9e35825f94f2_English__U005ben_U005d__U007c_iPad_-_iPad_2nd_Gen_-_3.png/2048x2732.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/e9/cf/77/e9cf770e-6c19-30aa-7ad3-3af59bc19cc2/8eff227a-0384-411e-ba16-385e550779da_English__U005ben_U005d__U007c_iPad_-_iPad_2nd_Gen_-_1.png/2048x2732.png) ## Wish You Were Here Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 7 (88%) - 4 stars: 0 (0%) - 3 stars: 1 (13%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 stars: 0 (0%) ## Wish You Were Here Reviews in United States ### ***** "Delightful" Delight is a very specific word—not just happiness but a particular kind of surprise and immediacy. I don’t think I’ve ever applied “delightful” to an app before. Every time I open WYWH it puts me in a delightful space: I’m thinking about a new or different place or thing I’ve photographed, and I’m communicating about that thing to someone I care about, and they’re going to get their own pleasant surprise in the near future. More apps should generate this sort of feeling, most can’t. So grab this and send a postcard! -- LuisV4SF, 2025-06-24 ### ***-- "Great but…" Such a wonderful concept but it’s sort of let down because it’s difficult to use. To send a postcard you NEED to use a contact from your Contacts app. The contact NEEDS to be formatted exactly as the developer wants: first name, last name, correctly filled out address. You cannot make a postcard without first adding a correctly formatted contact from Contacts. I understand the logic but it’s so stringent and unfriendly. It’s not clear to me why I simply couldn’t manually enter a contact’s information. Yes, I have this information but no I’m not so organized that my Contacts app is correctly formatted. Disappointing! -- olreviews, 2025-02-01 ### ***** "This needed to happen!" This is the best app ever of all time. Why haven’t we been doing this all along? I’m going to use it everywhere for everyone always now. So satisfying! -- TherealMimiLynn, 2024-12-12 ### ***** "Wow. With unique photo options or txt" This app is great. It can be used to send postcards to friends, neighbors, loved ones or almost anyone. See something you want to share? Take a photo and mail it. Say something you want to share? Want to invite friends for dinner or tea or a block party? Write it out and mail it. There no need to hunt around your house for a stamp as postage is included. The creative options are endless. -- Unique-app, 2024-10-04 [View all Wish You Were Here reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Wish You Were Here In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | A pair of postcards | $2.99 | | Set of international postcards | $3.99 | ## Apps Similar to Wish You Were Here - [Ink Cards: Send Custom Cards](https://apptail.io/app/ink-cards-send-custom-cards-TLb/united-states) - [Stylish Text Artwork TextPhoto](https://apptail.io/app/stylish-text-artwork-textphoto-Pipb/united-states) - [PostCardsAway](https://apptail.io/app/postcardsaway-HhNd/united-states) - [Video Speed Control Vmotion](https://apptail.io/app/video-speed-control-vmotion-rBYd/united-states) - [Animation Video Greetings](https://apptail.io/app/animation-video-greetings-XWpe/united-states) - [Drop a Line](https://apptail.io/app/drop-a-line-MDFk/united-states) - [Mixtape: Compile & Rank Photos](https://apptail.io/app/mixtape-compile-rank-photos-Ydin/united-states) - [Text to Image AI](https://apptail.io/app/text-to-image-ai-Kvzn/united-states) ## Wish You Were Here Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/wish-you-were-here-postcards-xzls/united-states) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/wish-you-were-here-postcards-xzls/czechia) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/wish-you-were-here-postcards-xzls/australia) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/wish-you-were-here-postcards-xzls/canada) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/wish-you-were-here-postcards-xzls/new-zealand) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
