Sieghard,

I've been using an app called Ship-Rack. Note the dash between ship and rack. What I really like about this tracking app is that all you have to do is forward the tracking notification you've gotten from the retailer to packa...@ship-track.com and tracking begins. It supports push notifications. Of course, I believe you can also add tracking number manually but sending an email is so much easier.

Like most tracking apps, tracking notifications are definitely not instantaneous but otherwise this app works well.

Here's the link to the app in the iTunes store.

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?

Best regards,

Sieghard
