We’ve been helping people to brighten up their loved ones’ mantelpieces and fridges with postcards for a while.

But you’ve been asking for more too, and we listened. So today we’re delighted to announce our brand-spanking-new cards.

Holiday cards, Christmas cards – however you describe them, the easiest way to make your friends and family feel special this year is with Touchnote :)

Send all your cards in minutes

Like our postcards, our new cards allow you to transform a photo into a beautiful festive card.

We print them on thick, textured card and post them first-class in premium envelopes. You write your message for the front and inside, enter the addresses of who you want to receive the card, and you’re finished. It’s really easy.

No envelopes to lick, no stamps to buy, no hard work writing out each address. We will even personalise the message inside the card with all the right names for you.

And for this year only, these beautiful new cards are one credit each – the same as our postcards – meaning as little as 99p or 99c per card if you buy a multi-pack.

The sun is shining, we've had bucket-loads of ice-cream and this year's sunglasses have been christened.

Just in time for summer, we've made it to the number two slot in Photography on iTunes in Luxembourg, Switzerland and Malta. 

I'm sure that there's a limerick here somewhere.

But this one's only got four lines. Hmm.

When Christmas Day left-overs are finished and the wrapping paper is put away, it’s time for the little ones (and maybe you too) to start thinking about sending some ‘’Thank you’’ cards for all the wonderful presents.

We're giving away lots of postcards just in time to help you celebrate the holidays!

Share a favourite Christmas photo (past or present) on our Facebook wall here and ask your friends to 'Like' them. The first 100 posters* will receive a free postcard and if your photo gets 4-or-more 'Likes' we will gift you another postcard.

Follow us on Twitter and keep sharing the following tweet for yet more chances to win postcards:

In the run up to New Year's Day we'll pick five winners at random every week from our Twitter stream and gift each of them a pack of five Touchnote postcards.

And don't forget you can send Touchnotes from your iPhone, iPad, or Android mobile as well as direct from the Web. Pick a photo, customise it, add your message then select recipients  and we'll take care of the rest. Share those special moments with friends and family who can't be with you: decorating the tree, wrapping presents, Christmas lunch, and use Touchnotes as the perfect way to send a "thank-you" for each and every gift. 

*Please note each entry must be from a unique Facebook user name.

Merry Christmas!

It’s summer! No really.

Amidst the rain and thunderstorms of central London, we’re preparing for a summer holiday.

Holidays take planning, and being developers of software we’ve meticulously created our requirements for the beach. There are all the normal essentials:

    - the deck shoes
    - the ray bans
    - the crash diet
    - the all-over body wax
    - the twenty minute pre-tan

And now there’s a new addition, the must-not-be-forgotten updated Touchnote app for iPhone.

Just in time for summer, we’ve released a new version of our app that makes sending a postcard from the beach easier than unfolding a deckchair. Much, much easier.

The new app means that you can:

    - enhance your holiday snaps with Hipstamatic or Instagram and send them using Touchnote
    - create cards offline on the beach to send later when you’re online
    - show where you’ve been with the option to include a Google map on the back of the card
    - send a postcard to many friends in one shot

There are some other improvements too. But they just make the app faster, more attractive and easier to use.

The app works on all iPhones, iPod Touches and iPads with iOS v3.2 and above. Try it today…
