There are so many aisles of greeting cards in the store for every occasion and sentiment. Still, sometimes it's hard to find just the right one. I personally like a card that is sentimental, but not overly so, and using a dash of humor blended in for balance. It's a time saver being able to use my phone to send cards for every imaginable occasion. justWink Greeting Cards have more than 200 cards that will fit all the obvious and not-so-obvious occasions for sending them. Some of the sensational features of this greeting card, social networking iPhone app are as follows:

- Cards that shuffle between, funny, bold, cute, trendy, sassy, heartfelt, sweet, and beautiful

- Cards that open and flip and make people smile just like real card

- Send paper cards hand-delivered by your local mail carrier

- Customize these cards like you can any greeting card: Add your own note, drop in a photo, and even add your own signature (or finger doodle) for that authentic “I Actually Care About You” feel!

- Personalization – choose to add inside the cards: Your own message, signature, photo from your phone

- Share via mail, email, Facebook, text message

Sure, there are always Birthdays, but you have other intriguing categories in justWink Greeting Cards such as Just Because, Congrats, Thanks, On The Fly!, Bromance!, Friendship, Couples and much more. Within each category, there are sub-categories. For example, inside of the Thanks group you will find Funny Thanks and Just Thanks. View the cards on a shelf just like in your local store or swipe sideways to see each one at a time. Swipe again to open the card and read the sentiment on the inside. These cards are unique in both graphics and images, not clichéd and can be sweet, flirty and downright funny. The feature I find most unique from other greeting card apps is the way that the cards animate in opening just like a regular paper card would. It's a really special touch. Add your photo or message if you wish, your signature, and you're done! Your card is on its way in a matter of minutes - a relief if you've remembered your friend's birthday too late! Or use justWink Greeting Cards to post on that someone special's wall in Facebook! In any case, the recipient of your card will be delighted by its charming appearance and personalized content.
