We’re excited to see a great App review in an article by Steven Kiernan from Pro Print this week. Here are a few of the highlights:

Happy snap printing apps
15 Jul 2013 | Steven Kiernan

…. a mobile-to-print system must be convenient, user-friendly and fast.

This is where Melbourne-based Picture Postie steps in. Director Jennifer Roberts tells ProPrint that the app “brings to life photos that may have been ‘stuck’ on phones and in social media”.

She adds that the company’s aim is to create “an enjoyable photo printing experience that is not a chore”.

ProPrint tested the Picture Postie app, along with the other smartphone apps mentioned in this article. Roberts’ ambitions have been realised: ordering a set of standard 6×4 prints using the app was simple and painless. We’re not the only one to have that experience – the app had a five-star rating from 62 reviews on the Apple App Store. This made Picture Postie the best reviewed app of any we looked at for this article.

Smartphone users are an impatient bunch. Picture Postie clearly knows its market: there was a delay of less than two hours between placing the order and receiving notification that the job had been dispatched.

APP TEST:
ProPrint tested the mobile-to-print photo apps referenced in this article. … For Picture Postie, Big W and Harvey Norman, we ordered 50 prints each. The Big W app crashed four times trying to upload these files and we gave up. All orders were placed on a two-year-old iPhone 4S running the latest iOS.

Description “Welcome to Picture Postie. We’re a super charged photo printing kiosk, with a focus on customer service!”

Our review Picture Postie offers the widest range of any app here, including canvas print, frames and magnets, as well as the ability to add effects such as borders to regular prints. The interface was easy to use. It only took around 10 minutes to upload 50 photos. The app also offered the widest array of sources: users can order prints from the phone’s Camera Roll, Instagram, Facebook or Flickr.

My second delivery arrived today and I am totally stoked. Continuedbrilliant quality and saves me the cost/time of going to a camera shop to edit photos in 6×4 format when they are 4×4. My house has become a show room for photos that have remained hidden for so long. Thank you x 1,000,000.

I’ve never ever felt compelled to contact a company with feedback… Good or bad…. I received my order today and wanted to say that this is the GREATEST idea EVER!!!

I… Like most people use my iPhone as a camera… And have 100′s of pictures on my Facebook and always complained how annoyed I was that they just ” sit on phone”… I don’t have the time to organise ” prints” or the knowledge and patience to figure out how to transfer to a USB and then go get them printed ( or however it’s done!) this is AMAZING and I will be using this service regularly and have told so many people about this!!

You need to get this stuff out to people… FANTASTIC!
