Hello Kolby and others,
Thanks for the recommendation of Parcel. For those who want to know more, here is the app store link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/parcel-delivery-tracking/id375589283?mt=8 The app does do push notifications, but in order to get that functionality you have to subscribe to the premium version/service for $1.99 a year. Some of the reviews state the push notifications don't work well, but I think I will give this app a try, I find 2 bucks a year quite acceptable if it works and if that helps the developer to keep the app going, after all, maybe if Track This had done this he would still be around. Of course on the Track This website he did say "More info will be posted in the coming days", so maybe Track This will relaunch with a new app/business model. Anyhow, if I find another app that is fully accessible, easy to use and works well I would happily switch because I am in Canada and one major drawback of Track This was that they did not support Purolator which is a major Canadian courier service. I had once written to the developer to ask if it could be included, but never received a reply.

It is accessible, and offers a wide variety of curriers. Kolby From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Monday, December 30, 2013 11:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Track This package tracking is shut down Hello, I know there are others on the list who are using the "Track This" app which allows you to track packages/shipments from a variety of courier and postal services. Today I tried to add the tracking number for the Logitech K810 keyboard I ordered from Amazon. Everything seemed normal until I double tapped on "Save" after I entered the information, at that point I received the following message: Error Track This has been closed and is no longer accepting new packages. We apologize for the inconvenience. There is an OK button and that's it. I subsequently searched for Track This in the App Store and did not find it any more, then I went to their website, www.UseTrackThis.com <http://www.UseTrackThis.com> , and here is what it says: Announcing the Shutdown of TrackThis Effective immediately, TrackThis has been closed. No further package tracking updates will be sent out. Existing users can log in to retrieve their tracking numbers, but no new tracking numbers can be added. Thank you to the loyal users of the service and to those that have recommended us to others over the years. More info will be posted in the coming days. The app Posted also is accessible and seems to work and of course most couriers have their own apps, but I always found Track This worked well. For a while I tried Posted alongside Track This and if I added the same packages it seemed that Track This push notifications about scans and updates came quicker than those from Posted. Is anybody using a different app, I mean different than Track This and Posted, and if so, which one?
