Its Exam result season at the moment, with A level results last week and GCSE results this. Did you get the results you wanted? why not send your teacher(s) a thank you for all their hard work? - I am sure they like to hear from happy students every once in a while! A friend or family member achieve excellent grades? Why not send them a card telling them how proud you are! Helloturtle have you covered - cards and gifts for this (and every) occasion!
Dont forget we are now completely mobile - download our apps for Android or Apple devices and create personalised cards and gifts on the move!

The new version of our app is available on the app store! Meaning that both the android and apple versions should be the same and our headaches can finally stop! As an added bonus we have now added the Postcard category to the app - If your on holiday (or just doing something and want to shout about it) - take a photo - upload it into the app and size it to fit. Add some text to the front (you can rarely go wrong with "wishing you were here") and right your message on the back.
All our postcards are printed and despatched from our facility in the UK and are sent by first class post.

Sam and I are now taking a break from the app for a while, Sam is making some improvements to our basket (and a few other pages). I am preparing all the Christmas pages - including an exciting new multipack system! Check back for updates

Some of you iPhone users may have already noticed that our app is now available on the app store! Android users do not despair though - we have a version ready and are busy testing it. It should be live on Google Play very soon for you to download!

We are still awaiting confirmation from Apple for the app and provided everything is ok - Version 2 is ready for release! Version 2 includes our postcards - you can take photographs using your phone's camera for the front (or use photos from your phone's gallery) and add your own message. The back has a big text box for your personal message and enough room for us to print your recipients address and stick a stamp. No longer will you arrive at your loved ones houses before your postcards - our postcards are printed at our facility in the midlands and posted firstclass the same day!
With this and many more features in the new app version - Keep an eye on the app store or check back here for details!

Alex & Sam @ Helloturtle!

We have finally finished our first version of our app and have launched it to apple for review. We are very excited about this and hopefully if there are no problems and apple accept the app it will be appearing on the app store in the next few weeks! So make sure you keep coming back for more updates on this! The app maybe in for review but we are already hard at work working on version 2, which will include Postcards!

Sam and I have been very busy with the app, we have changed much of how it works and made improvements to the existing code as well as the server side. So much so it is barely recogniseable from the app we started with, or even the app we had built a few weeks ago. We are happy with how the card builder works now and are doing some heavy testing to find any bugs.
The summer holidays are just around the corner and the olympics are about to start! I am sure we are all very excited about the holidays and getting a chance to see some of the worlds best atheletes, but before you go - why not thank your teacher for all her hard work over the past year with a personalised thank you card?
