What's New in Postboxes

4.0.0

May 11, 2020

Major update, we have now moved to using OpenStreetMap.org as the data source for postbox and post office location information. Copyright info in main description. There is a whole new interface to the app that allows you to request data updates from OpenStreetMap within 16km of the centre of the map, you can now use toggles in the top menu to allow you to filter to only see postboxes, post offices or both. There is new clustering functionality in the map interface so that you can better see the information on the map, and a new circular radius overlay that helps you see clearly the area that you are currently viewing postbox data within, since we cannot place all 400,000+ data items on the map at once.

Stale data

Needs a database refresh. Lots of local post boxes are marked as old data.

Needs updating

The last posting times are wrong on many post boxes. Very misleading.

Not up to date

Unfortunately this app is not what it used to be

I ended up on a bit of a wild goose chase looking for postboxes the app had listed as having a late collection time, only to find that on arrival, the postbox had been scheduled for collection some one or two hours earlier

In the end, I found a postbox that offered late collection but it was no thanks to this app

Handy

Seems to do the basics. It would be helpful if the app could differentiate between post boxes and post offices - perhaps use different icons? A search feature for other areas would also be handy as scrolling can be a bit fiddly if you don’t know somewhere well. Handy for a quick check of local boxes though.
