1 Arrive
Arrive — a free app powered by Shopify — allows users to track all of their packages without even entering tracking numbers. It’s one of the best apps on this list, but there’s a catch: users can only signup using a Google account.
The auto syncing feature, which currently only supports Gmail, checks a user’s inbox for shipping confirmation emails and automatically adds and tracks them within the app. Non-Gmail users can still track deliveries by adding them to the app manually.
Once a user has entered all of their tracking numbers — or synced them with Gmail — they can see them in an ordered list. The list displays a thumbnail on each item with a map of the package’s location. Users can expand the map to see a live view and step-by-step overview of their package’s progress and ETA.
Push notifications let users know when a package arrives or leaves a destination. Users are presented with a confetti animation when their package arrives.
Like the other apps, delivered packages are moved to an archive and can be accessed at a later time. Arrive supports over 400 carriers from around the world.
