Online shoppers are strange people. They believe in the highest postal forces and in every possible way try to appease them in their posts on specialized forums. Another popular way to speed up the delivery of a parcel is to constantly track its status in special postal services. It's hard to believe in the magic of the first, but the driving power of the second really works!:) In this review, you will get acquainted with five excellent Android apps for tracking foreign purchases.

Hello, my name is listed above and to the left, and I am an accomplished shopaholic. I acknowledge the perniciousness of my addiction, but I cannot help myself. Moreover, I deliberately add my environment to this "muck". And among other things, I have to show new converts how it is easier to monitor the status of their order. And here mobile applications come to the rescue, which now I want to focus on.

AfterShip Package Tracker

From a visual perspective, AfterShip is second to none in its category of apps. Very high-quality elaboration of icons, fonts, colors and navigation sets the highest bar, to which competitors are very far. For all its beauty, the utility is not at all stupid: it can automatically detect the carrier (and there are 245 of them), offers to contact him or go to his website in just one tap. There is no advertising, which is undoubtedly a plus. There were no settings either, but I can't call this fact a bold minus.

Package Buddy

A fairly popular application on Google Play cannot boast of any delights, although there are still a couple of distinctive features. First of all, I would like to note the impressive number of settings with which you can set a wide variety of rules for the utility's behavior. But another test function, Package Buddy, looks more interesting. Imagine you received an email confirmation from the seller that your purchase has been shipped. Now the track number needs to be entered somewhere and track its movement. In the case of Package Buddy, this is not required: you just need to redirect the email to a special address of the service, and it will automatically add the package to your account. It's great, of course, but such an interesting feature is available only to users of the Pro version of the application.

Deliveries

Don't be confused by the outward modesty of Deliveries. The application attracts the audience primarily with its advanced filling. For example, the utility can send notifications to Pebble or Android Wear devices, import and sync orders from Amazon and eBay, add events to an external calendar, and update information by shaking the phone.:) And this is just a small part of the program options. Digging into Deliveries, you will understand where the app has many times more positive reviews on Google Play than its competitors.

PackTrack

A clean, fairly simple, very good and reliable application with an eye on Material Design. It can be recommended to anyone who appreciates laconic software solutions. There are no unnecessary elements or options that would confuse or distract attention. It's a pity that PackTrack covers a fairly modest number of mail services, although the author of the project is clearly working on this, for which thanks to him.

TrackChecker Mobile

Must-have! The utility is undergoing its third rebirth and seems to be close to ideal (in my humble opinion). TrackChecker Mobile supports a huge number of postal and courier services, looks decent, does not get bored with advertisements, has a solid set of settings, and most importantly, it works properly. It is important that the project is being developed by a Russian-speaking developer who is very willing to listen to the wishes and comments in the application. You can be sure that all complaints will be heard and mistakes will be corrected. There are no restrictions here that would reduce the functionality of the program to a paid upgrade. An excellent product, for which I personally thanked the author with a ruble, although he did not ask for it.
