Using the power of Nokia’s HERE platform, Package Tracker takes advantage of Nokia’s top-notch mapping data to create a useful and accurate parcel tracking app, with support for over 60 carriers.
Whenever you order something online, or send something out into the world, logging onto the couriers website and tracking the parcel doesn’t always offer the best possible experience. It usually means that you have to be sat at a PC as the mobile-version of their website isn’t always up to scratch.
This is fine if you’re sat at a PC, but what if you’re not? This is where Package Tracker comes in handy.
Upon first launch, you’ll need to select the courier company from one of the 60 provided in the drop-down menu. If the courier company you’re using isn’t there, the team behind the app are more than happy to add it to future updates if you email them to let them know. You can find their email address from within the contact option in the app settings.
Next, you’ll need to have your package number ready to type in, or you can also scan in the details using the barcode scanner. With support for QR, Data Matrix, UPC or EAN codes, to name only a few, you’ll be sure to be one scan away from digitally-connecting your phone to your package.
Once you’ve given your package a name, which could be handy for people handling more than one package, pressing save will take you to the details page. It’s here that you’ll see more information on the journey of the package, from when it was first sent out to where it’s been, and currently is. You’re also shown the estimated delivery date and time.
While these details are essential to following the progress of your package, seeing it all on a map is a much nicer experience – swipe left to see a fully detailed map. Plus, should you want to visit the website of the courier, swipe left again.
To keep a constant eye on your packages, each and every item can be pinned to your Nokia Lumia’s Start screen in the form of a Live tile. These will dynamically update to show the latest news on your parcels, keeping you informed through each and every day.
There’s also a Windows 8 version of Package Tracker that runs on Windows 8 tablets and computers. Activating the cloud sync feature from within the app will enable you to receive updates across all devices, at the same time.
