Well, that discovery problem is why we've started our 50 Essential iOS Apps series

a curated list of the best apps on the planet with new videos every Tuesday and Thursday

For our first entry, we're taking a look at deliveries, which is the best way to track packages on iOS
0:23
As online shopping becomes an integral part of our lives, one pain point remains
0:27
keeping track of when our precious packages will arrive. The simply titled Deliveries app eliminates the irritation of keeping track of where packages are
0:34
and when they're going to be delivered, consolidating all of the info on all of the packages in transit to your home. Then, it lets you keep tabs via a single timeline
0:41
in an easy-to-use app. First and foremost, Deliveries is a package tracking app
0:47
It aggregates all of your tracking information from USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL, Amazon, Apple
0:52
and a lengthy list of others. On a single screen, you get a quick idea of what packages are on
0:56
their way, where they are, and when to expect delivery. What makes Deliveries an essential app for tracking packages is the easy-to-use interface
1:04
and extension for adding packages to your list. From nearly any shipper's website
1:08
using the share sheet action for adding a package will auto-populate the tracking number through the correct service. That isn't the only way to pull your
1:16
packages into the Deliveries app though. You can also add packages by simply copying
1:20
a tracking number from an email, website, iMessage, or wherever and opening the app
1:24
A small banner will appear at the bottom, prompting to add the package. Additionally, packages can be entered by scanning a shipping label barcode
1:31
which also makes Deliveries useful for tracking outgoing packages. Deliveries is the perfect app for Amazon addicts, or anyone expecting a package any day of the week
1:40
Small business owners and average online shoppers alike will find it invaluable for keeping track
1:44
of incoming orders or inventory. Deliveries offers an easy-to-use interface and a deep
1:49
catalogue of logistics providers. Its status notifications make it essential for keeping
1:54
track of all of your packages, both incoming and outgoing. If you find yourself shopping online
1:59
and wanting a unified way to keep track of everything coming and going, Deliveries is
2:03
the perfect app to make things easier. Well, there you have it, our first of 50
