Deliveries helps you keep track of all your packages, so you always know when they’re going to arrive. Whether it's the latest gadget you've preordered online, or a new graphic novel you can't wait to dive into, Deliveries will keep tabs on it so you don't miss the doorbell. The main list shows a summary of all your shipments and counts down the days. Select a delivery for more information, and see where it is on a map. If you like you can view the shipping company’s web page, or easily share your shipment over email, iMessage, or AirDrop. Deliveries can even add estimated delivery dates to your calendar, and a Notification Center widget lets you quickly check your packages without opening the app. All your old deliveries are archived so you can look them up again if you need to. An Apple Watch app is also included so you can see the latest updates with just a glance. Deliveries supports dozens of services, including US Postal Service, DHL, TNT, Canada Post, and many more. You can also track orders from services like Amazon and Apple, even before they ship. (Some services are limited to specific countries—visit junecloud.com/services for details.) If you have packages from other services, just select “Other” and enter a delivery date and web site—so you can check on them when you need to and still keep everything in one place. Deliveries is also available for Mac. You can sync your deliveries between devices with iCloud or our own Junecloud sync. If you create a Junecloud account, you can add new shipments from any web browser. Have any questions? Just visit junecloud.com/sync and click Help.

Verdict
Deliveries and Birthday Countdown both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 91% of Birthday Countdown's written reviews are positive against 28% of Deliveries's. Birthday Countdown also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). Deliveries's advantage is ratings volume (34K vs 702) and device support (5 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Deliveries sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Birthday Countdown sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Deliveries against 4.7 for Birthday Countdown. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Deliveries has 34K ratings behind it against 702, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 28% of Deliveries's written reviews are positive against 91% of Birthday Countdown's.
Deliveries ships an update every 2 months, Birthday Countdown every 6 days. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
