Downloaded this with high hopes as the design and features looked pretty comprehensive, but sadly the app feels very half baked right now. For starters, the nickname for packages is only 15 characters long and (as far as I can tell) cannot be edited once saved. The AI summery is also unreliable and stated confidently that my package was already in my country when it hadn’t even shipped yet! Finally the UX itself, while pretty, is also pretty glitchy. On iPad, the button to hide the list of shipments doesn’t bring it back out again (forcing an app restart to fix), you can’t edit a shipment in any way, not even to rename it, and deleting it to rename it doesn’t work as it will simply replace whatever you’ve written with the previous name you chose, and finally the subscription model is just insultingly expensive. Shipments is asking for almost as much money per month than my previous parcel tracking app cost for an entire year. I understand hosting an LLM costs money but, being honest, I would appreciate a one time purchase option that ditched the AI functionality as it adds very little value to the experience and could even be computed locally for free on newer devices.
EDIT:
With the latest update, the app seems much more polished. Notably parcel names are no longer limited to 15 characters and are editable! The only thing preventing me from recommending this app over something like Parcel is the subscription pricing, which hasn’t changed. For the price of just one month on this app, you could get almost a whole year of Parcel, which despite lacking the AI feature and having a more simplistic UX, is still the better deal in my opinion. Get a bit closer to Parcels yearly pricing and I’d have no trouble recommending this app as my favourite parcel tracker on the App Store.
