Delivery Status Touch Updated for iOS 7 with Background Notifications, iCloud Support

Delivery Status Touch costs money now? Maybe I bought it ages ago and just forgot, but I thought it was a free app.

Anyway, a first-page app for me, and I use it often. The new update is great with the background notifications and calendar events. Most of the other stuff I don't really care about, but the iCloud sync will probably get me to finally start syncing.

I don't currently have any packages headed my way, but I look forward to seeing how it all works out.

Oh yeah, having used it for years, I'd definitely pay $5 to get it again if that was the price. And now with this update, it's pretty much added every feature I've been wishing it had.

Really nice upgrade. With the amount of online shopping I do, this app is definitely worth the cost. Been using it for quite a while.

Great tracking tool

I have been using the widget for years and it is fantastic. I have been looking at the app but $4.99 I think is overpriced for the amount of shipping I get done. Waiting for a sale on this one.

Was super excited to see this when I opened the app earlier.

One of my favorite apps, well worth the $5. Loving the new look and features.

I prefer Parcel. :/

They have a Mac app too.

I've been using the app for almost 5 years, and I couldn't be more satisfied with it. The free Delivery Status Widget on the Mac is great, too.

"First-page app" that has a really cool sound to it. Very "keynote marketing speech-ish."

I use it, but it could be so much better if it would copy a page from Slice and link with your email account to scan for packages (a la Slice).

Or, alternatively, if I could set up a gmail forward rule (which I can't since I can't confirm the forward)

Sailor Moon vol. 12 huh?

I've been using the widget since before iOS existed, and bought the iOS app the day it came out. This is an awesome app, whose ugprades just made it loads better!

The interface is not as pretty and it cost $2 a year for push and +3 tracking.

I always use the delivery status widget on my Mac. In my phone I have another app called Posted. Is definitely not as good as Delivery status, but got it for free for its full version and can't/don't want to pay $5 to get something that is better, but not by that much especially since iTunes has started charging me tax. If the app was 1.99 on sale I would buy it though.

Never knew this existed. I've been using the individual native Fed Ex, USPS, UPS apps to track. Is this worth using eliminating those apps?

Is anyone in the UK using this? Some reviews say it doesn't even support Royal Mail Recorded/special deliver etc?

I've been using it before the iPhone existed, and it's been good. To get iOS notifications before iOS 7 though, you needed Mac running their dashboard widget to fetch and then send the notification. This update means that is no longer needed. Looks like they might need to tweak the refresh timing a little, but it is working in my case.

The big advantage here is that it will track based on an Apple or Amazon order number. So I can just grab them when I place the order, and not worry about which carrier they use. I don't have to wait for shipment to actually happen, which is an extra step when using the carrier apps. Plus it is all your shipping in one spot.

Might be worth asking the author. He's pretty responsive to questions/requests on this front.

This was an app I missed the most while venturing out to the wild wild west of Android.

This is what got me to buy Delivery Status two years ago. I was tired of carrying 4 apps on my iPhone. DS to the rescue and my life has been simple.

I feel a bit guilty about not paying June Cloud in years. I'd pay for a Mac app instead of a Widet. That way I can use iCloud syncing which I've found is more transparent than the Junecloud syncing.

Edit:

Twitter shows they are planning a Mac version after they get Notefile updated.

One of my top apps of all time.

Doesn't seem particularly good for the UK. Supports FedEx most countries - except the UK, supports TNT International - except the UK, supports DHL - except UK Domestic Express. You get the picture?

On the plus side - it supports Yodel. Good luck with that one. Only worth having if it can predict which of your neighbours gardens, dustbins etc Yodel will dump your parcel in.

Working fine for me, actually its quite good with Royal Mail as it gives the full tracking and you can see the different mail centres you package has gone through etc. Far more comprehensive that what you see on the standard Royal Mail site.

Many, MANY of us disagree with you about it being overpriced. I think it's actually underpriced. I've donated some $ to the developers because of the amount of use I get out of the app coupled with the free widget. Great update, for sure. I'd happily pay another $5 for it, too. Different perspective, I guess!

Yes, yes. Unquestionably yes. I was in your boat. Never again.

This honestly has to be my favorite and most used app. I've been using it since it was released and it just keeps getting better. The Mac app is also great. I'd pay $7.99 for it.

Great app and a great developer. He updates the Delivery Status Widget all the time, to the point where it's almost annoying (not really his fault, there needs to be a better way to update widgets...)
