Tired of scanning "leftover" Amazon boxes no access? Need to focus your attention on avoiding animal interference? Don't want to worry about finding that white SPR full of pills when you're 150 boxes past its delivery point? Assigned a new route and can't find that one house with a 0.49 mile driveway? You're a mail carrier, not a movie superhero. That's why we made PackageHelper. Features: Smart Addressing: Load packages fast with intelligent autocomplete. GPS and Alerts: See your deliveries on an interactive map, and hear a noise when near a package destination. PackageHelper can even learn which houses are far from their mailboxes, which boxes have parcel lockers, and adjust the map to match. Navigation: Can't find an address? Tap the "Directions" button to open it in your favorite navigation app. Toolbox: Package tracking, USPS address search, quick weather overview, and more. It even has a tool for scanning deliveries when your MDD crashes! Route Notes: Record vacancies, NMRs, holds, etc. and get reminded when adding a package for one of those addresses. Dark Theme: Saves battery and your eyes. Activity Log: Keeps track of when and where you delivered items, just in case. Podcast Friendly: Independent volume control allows you to adjust package alert loudness without disrupting your listening. Works Offline: Your delivery list and map are usable without a stable Internet connection (great for rural and highway routes!)
