Hi, for security reasons I myself like having all of the detailed updates so I do miss them.
Glad it isn’t just me (smile). It did update when I manually opened it this morning but push notifications seem to be dead by me entirely. Thankfully Parcel is still humming along nicely. I sure would love to know what became of the iOS version of ShipRack but sadly its maker seems unwilling to respond to inquiries via twitter or email. Though they still reference iOS on their site the app sure doesn’t exist in the US store any more. It’s been fun comparing different apps though. thanks as always for your help.

It’s definitely not the greatest when it comes to providing notifications, but I found that I actually now prefer not to get a notification every time a shipment arrives or departs somewhere and what I really like about this app is the fact that if I put the tracking number on the clipboard and then open the app it automatically detects the tracking number and usually correctly identifies the carrier. The app then asks if you want to create a new shipment and all I have to do is say Yes, enter an optional description for the shipment and then tap on Save. If I expect a shipment I just find it easier to open the app at my convenience to check if the delivery is on time and so on.

While it’s push notifications are nice they don’t seem quite as timely as those of the Parcel app. But my question to others who might use the delivery status touch app is this. Why does it pop up a notification once daily telling me to launch the app so it can update itself? Is there a reason it can’t just do that without launching as it is enabled in background refresh apps in settings? Are there other package tracking apps besides Delivery Status Touch and Parcel that have working push notifications? I know Posted boasts of having them but it’s never delivered even one to me. Thanks for any light shed on this for me. Robin -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.
