TrackChecker - Shipment Tracker: Built for shoppers, this app tracks posted packages from over 1000 services like Amazon, eBay, USPS, EMS, FedEx, and Correo. Stay updated on your order status with touch-enabled barcode scanning, parcel photos, and a multilingual interface. Check multiple providers—USPS, DHL, and more—at once, with translated updates and local notifications. The delivery days calculator keeps your shipment timeline clear.

NOTE: If background updates haven’t been working you will now get a notification letting you know that you need to open the app to update your deliveries again. This problem is usually caused by forcing the app to close by swiping up in the multitasking view.

Package Tracker follows your parcels and tells you only what the carrier actually confirmed. TRACK RIGHT AWAY • Paste the tracking number and see the journey. No account needed. • Want your history on other devices? Create a free account at any time — the parcels you already tracked come with you, without duplicates. HONEST TRACKING • Milestones light up only when an event from the carrier confirms them. No invented progress bars, no guessed times. • When there is no automatic source for a carrier yet, the app says so instead of making something up. • Returns, partial deliveries and international hand-overs are never shown as delivered. FREE FOR EVERYONE • No ads, no paid plans, no credits. YOUR DATA • We never ask what you bought, what it cost or how you paid. • Only you see your deliveries. Export your data or delete your account from inside the app. Package Tracker is made by Starthrop Dynamics, Unipessoal Lda.
