    I would use Cards while on vacation to send a spontaneous photo to elderly family members who weren’t online, and the experience was perfectly frictionless and very Apple. I don’t know if I ever saw the finished product.

    I emailed Eddy Cue when the shutdown was announced and he agreed it was a great app but confirmed it wasn’t popular enough.

    I don’t think I’ve sent a card since.

      I still send hand written postcards all the time because I know people get a kick out of them.

      Bonus points when you send them from a country people have to search a map to locate.
