Delivery Status touch, a package tracker

Was a great app that I paid for years ago. Switched to a subscription model but the developer said original purchasers would retain their paid for features. That seems to have changed now as even basic features of the app no longer work. Doesn’t give any tracking status at all anymore unless you manually open the vendor’s tracking webpage. Insane to think a basic app like this is worth $5/year.

UPDATE: Only supports USPS, now you have to go to the site to track UPS, FedEx, etc. used to be great…Now largely useless.<br/><br/>Previously, many years ago:<br/><br/>This app’s fantastic for the way it nicely organizes your inbound packages by ETA, detects when you have copied a tracking number upon entering the app and shows you the package’s location a world map when the shipping company provides that information. It’s clean and orderly, easy to use and archives your tracked shipments so that you can later go back and find them (think: “did I get that less than a year ago, or is it out of warranty?”)<br/><br/>I’ve used this for years and don’t remember what it cost, but it’s definitely been worth whatever it was. 👍

I have used Deliveries since its original versions, when it was a dashboard widget, and I have purchased every version since. I was an annual subscriber for years—until they started dropping carriers. As a previous purchaser, I was entitled to all the features I still used. <br/><br/>I understand that JuneCloud claims FedEx &amp; UPS changed forced their downgrade, yet AfterShip still works for both. <br/><br/>Now I can’t add USPS deliveries without a subscription. So much for continuing access to previous features. Sad to see such a great product descend into user hostility.

The original app, before the monthly fee version, was working for USPS and some other shipping companies, but the last update purposely changed that. Now all the app displays is “Subscription required” message.

I bought this app over 10 years ago and it was the best app on the store for deliveries. But, overtime it seems like support for more and more U.S. carriers started getting dropped. Subscriptions also became a new “feature” and all of a sudden, the product I bought became an inferior product. Wouldn’t you know, they never fixed those carriers after requiring subscriptions. <br/><br/>When subscriptions dropped they said that previous purchasers could use iCloud for free but would need to subscribe for JuneCloud sync and all other “new” features. I stopped using the JuneCloud sync service and instead used iCloud. After some time, I started seeing a limitation in the number of deliveries I could have in the app (for whatever reason; it’s not like my phone is running out of space. Also I’m using iCloud and not their server). Then I started having issues with the map and the tracking not working; although I could easily click a button to check via the website. <br/><br/>Now when I add a delivery, it says “subscription required”. It’s unfortunate when products you bought—or their functionality—get taken away from you. I have never seen any “new” features added, but ai have seen more and more unfixed issues and less carrier support (USA.) I wounded what subscribers think they are getting because it’s not a good deal. <br/><br/>This was one of the best delivery apps on the iOS App Store and now it’s one of the worst. I don’t know what this Developer thinks the incentive is for renting a subscription. They apparently don’t care about fixing bugs, adding functionality, their customers, or honoring the purchases that were made. What a shame!

They pulled the rug on previous purchasers and it requires a subscription for basic features.

My journey with this app began when it was a Mac dashboard widget. I used the widget and then the iOS app almost daily for a decade, then continued limping along with it for almost another decade. I’ve finally decided to remove it from my Home Screen. It will stay on my phone forever, if possible, as a monument to how good apps used to be.<br/><br/>The decline of Deliveries started several years ago for me with issues with Amazon staying signed in. It took long enough to resolve that I just got out of the habit of adding my Amazon deliveries to the app, and at the same time Amazon’s tracking had improved enough that I didn’t want to do all the work of coping them (a dozen orders or more a week).<br/><br/>Then FedEx stopped working in the app. Then UPS. And now USPS parcels don’t work either. Supposedly a subscription will add back USPS tracking, but the utility of an app like this is having everything tracked in one place. Deliveries can’t really do that anymore. It can keep track of tracking numbers. That’s about it for the most common carriers in the US.<br/><br/>I don’t blame the developer. I got more than enough value from my purchase long ago to call it fair and I don’t expect free updates forever in an app that has had to play cat and mouse with various services for years. Really it’s a sign that the web as we once knew it is dead — there are constantly evolving roadblocks to pulling together multiple tracking services that once were provided for free into a useful app. But I am disappointed that Junecloud hasn’t found a way to continue the original functionality in this new landscape.<br/><br/>I would gladly pay $10-20 for another ten years of tracking pretty much any parcel with automatic updates in the app and the privacy of all the updates being done by my own device and synced only over iCloud. That doesn’t exist anymore. It’s definitely not this app anymore, so I’m lowering my rating.<br/><br/>Thanks for what you offered us back in the day, Junecloud. It was great while it lasted.

I bought the app before the subscription model craze. I loved it for tracking my deliveries. But over time it’s declined in usefulness. First, FedEx deliveries stopped working, then UPS. Now, I can’t see USPS deliveries without subscribing… even though I should, since I was one of the original users. <br/>I’ve reached out to support several times. My messages are ignored. <br/>Don’t buy this app, simply because the developers don’t respond to support requests, forcing poor reviews.
