APPS WE LOVE

Parcel

Track your deliveries with ease.

Online shopping enthusiasts, this one’s for you! The Parcel app, which supports 300 carriers around the globe, allows you to easily track all your packages in one handy place across all of your Apple devices.

What we love: How easy it is to follow your deliveries: paste a tracking number into Parcel (or scan a barcode if it’s available) and give the shipment a description (such as “running shoes”) to have it appear on your dashboard. You can also connect Parcel directly to your Amazon account to automatically track every new Amazon order.

Quick tip: Add the app’s widget to your Home Screen for quick access to a delivery status, or if you’d rather minute-to-minute updates, you can opt in for push notifications with a premium subscription.

Meet the creator: While developing Parcel, Australian developer Ivan Pavlov had to learn about nearly every shipping operator in the world: “When I meet someone from a different country and I mention the name of its local postal company, they’re impressed.”
