Free Greeting Card Apps for Android

While sending traditional cardboard greeting cards to your loved ones is a good way to convey your best wishes, sending an e-greeting via your Android phone is not a bad idea at all. In fact, it can be a great alternative to traditional cards as it saves you from courier hassles and can be a nice, environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional greetings. The best part – you get to send all these cute, animated cards for free. The best free greeting card Android apps let you doodle, change fonts, add your own text and customize your e-card. Here’s a rundown of the top greeting card apps for your Android phone.

Holiday Cards

This free greeting card builder allows you to add text and different backgrounds to your e-greeting and send it to your friends and family via Twitter, Facebook or e-mail. It has over 100 backgrounds designed for different occasions and festivals like New Year, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Birthdays and Valentine’s Day. There are also several design images to add to your selected backgrounds and a variety of fonts and colors to help you choose and design a snazzy and cute greeting card.

Customizing Your E-Greeting

Holiday Cards doesn’t allow you to save e-cards to your Android device. Moreover, it allows you to add text of up to 30 characters, which, in my opinion, is very limited. Any recent updates addressing these issues would really help users and improve the popularity rating of this app. Overall, Holiday Cards is a nice, little greeting card app with plenty of e-greeting options for various occasions.
