So for the last few years I’ve extensively used an alternative app called Deliveries. That app has served me well however with the recent change with the FedEx, FedEx no longer works with that app. So I went looking for alternatives. I downloaded about 13 different package tracking apps and tested them and settled on this one. First off, what an outstanding job on the compact layout view. You have all of the info there on a brilliant layout. Great job on this! It’s the best I’ve seen. Smart design!! Props on this. You have the mini map view, summary info, ship date, expected delivery date, shipping carrier icon, last refresh time, etc. A quick tap brings you to detailed view and the expanded map is nicely done as is the list view. I noticed on a UPS item I was tracking that the tracking info was even more detailed than I can pull up in my other delivery app and also on the UPS website. I am not sure where they are pulling the data from but it is excellent and I appreciate the added tracking details! I think with some additional features added this app could become a leading if not THE leading package delivery app. So here is my thoughts: 1. Ditch the two app model and go with a single app. Just offer annual subscriptions thru the one app that gives you pro features. 2. Add clipboard detection when app opens. What I mean is, if you have a tracking number already copied to clipboard, have the app recognize this and auto open the add tracking info with with number pasted in like some alternative apps can already do. 3. For the summary on compact view, instead of just saying “arrived at FedEx location” have it also list what city.
4. Add a Mac version of this app. Many of us stay in the apple ecosystem and use macs. Having a native app that syncs just like the deliveries app does is a really really nice feature. I feel this is a big deal and would love to see it. 5. An Apple Watch version also would be nice but I’d focus on Mac version first. 6. An archive and delete function would be cool like deliveries has. 7. A view online link would be nice that auto jumps you to carriers site with tracking info already entered like deliveries does. 8. Add functionality so swiping down refreshes the feed so you don’t have to click the refresh wheel icon. 9. Charge more. Myself and many others you will find, will gladly pay more, for some enhanced features like I mentioned. If you get this far with additional features you are going to have a really solid suite of apps. For now I’d say those are the items to focus on. Lastly, thank you for this app! I am hoping with time you can also see value in the feature improvements I mentioned and bring them to life.
