Well, it's not actually free, but it is very inexpensive & for a great cause. The only & VERY, VERY frustrating thing is when typing the message. Words are deleted while typing, partial words are removed, you're constantly having to edit & your writing line lengths are decreased as you have to do this! So, you end up with @least 1 or 2 typos b/c you can't avoid it!

So far, I like and appreciate the app and the team behind it. That being said, I have a couple of things I'd like to point out. The app is buggy at times. I will receive an error message when the app uploads my photos and/or the app totally forgets what I created (after I spent awhile collecting my thoughts and typing it all down), so I had to type it all over again. Lastly, an increase to 2 free monthly credits would be fair and appreciated for those with larger families. Thank you!

Super convenient!! Love this app. I'm horrible at remembering to get stamps so this is very easy, user friendly and convenient. I highly recommend. I have friends in a few different facilities and so far ameelio has had every facility I've needed. You also get one credit a month for free to write a letter. You just have to go to the settings and turn it on. I thought that was pretty cool! Also, unlike jpay the letters they receive have your return address so they know where to send it out.
