Or, if you have the shipping-label barcode, you can simply scan it by pressing the barcode icon. If you have a tracking number already copied, Parcel will automatically recognize it if not, you can manually type in the number.
You can do so inside the app or with a long press of the app icon on your homescreen. If you’re just receiving packages, the first method you’ll probably use is manually adding a tracking number.
The ability to quickly and easily add a tracking number is the most important feature of any package tracking app, and Parcel offers multiple ways for you to do so, each of which is as simple as (or even simpler than) the corresponding option in any other app. Parcel charges $3 a year if you want to track more than three packages at once, but unlike all of the apps in our test group that don’t charge a fee, Parcel doesn’t comb through your email to collect personal data and sell it to advertisers. Push alerts generally come faster than with other tracking apps, and the app syncs across all Apple devices and Parcel’s website. It takes only seconds to add tracking numbers in a variety of ways, and the understated design lets you easily see where your deliveries are and when they’ll reach their destination.
Parcel, for iOS and macOS, is the most full-featured, easiest-to-use package tracking app available for Apple devices.
