Free Gems: Delivery Status

 

Free Gems: Delivery Status

Since moving into my new apartment, I’ve had to order a number of things—some are necessities such as the Verizon modem, but others are just to make the place feel more like home. Regardless, I’m always excited for packages—it’s like Christmas, even if I’m expecting a box of nails.

I went looking for a delivery widget that I used before but didn’t have much luck with, hoping it would be fixed by now. I didn’t find it, but I did come across this diddy—Delivery Status. It was listed in the Apple Downloads repository, so I checked out the developer’s website. There were two surprises during that visit—1) there’s an iPhone version, and 2) there’s a beta desktop version that syncs with the iPhone app. This app keeps getting better and better.

Now, I haven’t gone through a complete delivery yet, but the modem is expected today. I’ll be sure to update and include the results. Reading through the features and change logs, it supports more services than you can name and notifies through Growl. Put it through the ropes and share your thoughts.

  1. Looks pretty awesome. I’ll certainly have to try it out.

  2. That’s pretty cool! You should also try TrackThis, which is a Twitter bot that will follow your packages. http://www.usetrackthis.com/

  3. @Bernardo — I did give TrackThis a shot once, but was let down that it’s not an instant notification :/

  4. I totally agree, Deliveries on the iPhone is one of my must have apps.
