App permissions and how the information is used

* Camera - Your camera is used to take pictures which are printed on your postcard. They can also optionally be shared online if you or the recipient chooses to do so.

* Microphone - Only used if you decide to attach an optional audio message.

* GPS/Location - This is only used if you attach your location to a postcard. We do not transmit this information unless you opt in on a per card basis. For performance reasons the app may begin searching for your location even if you do not check this option on a card, however the location data is never sent to us until you opt in.

* Contacts/Address Book - In order to allow you to quickly add an address to a postcard the app has to be able to read the contacts on your phone. We never transmit more than the address you have on your card back to our servers.

* Modify or delete contents on your phone storage - This is used to save pictures taken within the app to storage as well as temporary storage for the card you are working on. We do not read, write or scan files on your phone more than what is required for our app to function.

* Find accounts on device - To allow you to log into our app or post comments to social media via FaceBook, Twitter or Google+ we need to access those accounts on your device. No information from those accounts is sent back to our servers, other than the minimum required to set up your account. We do not scan your friends list or collect any other information.

* Network Access - Sending cards to our servers requires an active internet connection

* Test access to protected storage - This is an Android standard feature. When saving a file such as a picture taken from within the app, we check to see if the user has a protected storage area we can access, and if we can it is saved there. Otherwise it is saved as normal.

* Push notifications - We use push notifications to notify you when an address has been entered, when using our address lookup feature. We may occasionally (rarely) send you app offers or reminders.

These are big, colorful, awesome cards! The problem comes when you don't have an advertising sponsor in the target zip code. Of you do then GREAT! If none are available then it is sadness indeed...

by D####:

For some reason with my address I can send it from anywhere else but at home it says no ads available in my zip code but if I use the same address and drive to town I can send. Very odd. Other than that thanks for this great app. It's such a great way to send pics to loved ones.

Loved this app. But it seems that now no one is running it. No cards are being sent out no responses to any of the complaints or concerns. If anyone knows who was running this site or how to get in touch with anyone dealing with this site please let me know. This is a great idea and I hate to see it stop. I would like to run a service like this because there is such a need. Sad that it has stopped

I tried sending my post card with the free option and it wont let me saying there are no ads fot my zipcode I think its just a rip off to be honest... Im uninstalling and wont recommend this app to anybody its a waste of time and energy...

I love this app it's so convenient only problem I've had is a couple times it told me it couldn't connect to server or wouldn't load the sponsors, i think it limits how many postcards can be sent out...other than that LOVE IT! Question after we run out of free credits do we have to pay or will we get issued more free credits???

I am very disappointed.. I was using this app frequently to send my husband photos .. I asked him the other day if he was receiving them. He has only received one out of the fifty I have sent. And they are not being returned to me. So, I dont know what the issue is. If he was receiving the cards well then it would be perfect. Great idea just doesn't quite work

I have sent out several post cards starting on the 5th of January and no one has received them yet. If they actually get mailed I will love this app. I have put a lot of time into a lot of cards. And deleted a lot of photos that I thought were being sent.

For about 2 months it was working great for me. But ever since Nov.21st, my boyfriend hasn't received any postcards. I also tried sending them to my home address thinking maybe the facility he's in wouldn't accept them anymore but nothing has arrived. I even paid $10 for 5 postcards and STILL didn't receive anything. I also tried emailing the company for help but didn't hear anything back. I loved this app when it was working for me. I'm very sad that I'm having this issue and can't seem to get a response

It's great being able to send free postcards with a picture. Sometimes there is a connection error I don't get with any other apps. I have to try over and over to send. It's still worth it!

I get an error no advertisers for this zipcode at this time... ive tried to send from different zipcodes and receive to different zipcodes and no luck... Do u only get so mamy for free then have to purchase cards???? Any assistance will be appreciated. If this cleared up it would be 5 stars... I see im not the only one with the problem

I have been trying to send the same postcards since the beginning of OCTOBER!!!!! I have even tried to send them to myself. I can't get any support from customer service and I have written twice so if you are not going to send them out remove the app bc most ppl that have loved ones locked up this was something we were being to rely on to make life a little happier for them.

by D####:

Thank you so much Freebird your app is so much easier to use than sending letters! And its free! I don't mind the advertising at all...I'm so content that I can rely on this app! I'm definitely spreading the word for my fellow friends to use especially since they also have loved ones incarcerated. Best app EVER!!! THANK YOU AGAIN :)

This app is horrible. I've tried to add a picture (which is mandatory for this app) and it keeps freezing my phone completely. Deleting this app now. Don't waste your time

Its a great concept and works well when it wants to. It logs me out uncontrollably :(

Tried endless times to contact freebird but no one answers the telephone. Multiple attempts to file my complaint online but I get a notice that website is encountering a problem. I know that this facility allows freebird as other inmates are receiving their postcards. This is very upsetting and very upsetting to the inmate to see others receiving their cards without an issue. Freebird does not seem to care otherwise they would have returned my emails. It is now 3.18.15 and still no response from Daniel.

This is the best thing that could have ever been done. However I always get a connection error when trying to access the app and also it takes a while for the app to open.

There were no sponsors for my zip code so I had to pay for cards which I thought would he free. And to top it off, it says mailed 5/19/15 and as of 6/11/15 still no cards have been rec'vd? There's no # I can talk to someone. Sending a message through 'contact us' and it won't even go through. Keeps saying Web error. Ugh! Can someone pls find my cards? Refund my $$? Contact me!?

Still waiting on my inmate to receive the postcards so hopefully he gets them and ill continue to use this service. ..so far most comments are positive

E70%
by E####:

I was using this app often until recently due to the fact that all of a sudden there are no ads in my zip code so I can now only send paid postcards however I already pay for email which he gets next day so if I have to choose I choose the email I would rate 5 stars if it was working like it was before cuz my husband likes them
