Delivery Status Touch

I'm pimping this app because it's brilliant on the iPhone, and it's a universal app so the iPad version is free if you already own it.

It's a delivery/package tracking app that covers all the major couriers and delivery firms

Just read http://junecloud.com/software/iphone/delivery-status-touch.html#services as I was about to buy it, but DPD UK aren't on the list

Why isn't ebay on the app store?

 

[Wyrdo]

It is, or at least it was. I had the app but will just use the web page instead.

Yeah, but you can request that they add it

It's probably the only one I've missed. They have Royal Mail, which I didn't expect!

iFooty is good for the football (obv)

The ibook store is very underwhelming right now, a load of paid for books went up last night but the choice is terrible. I'll be sticking with the Kindle store for now.

I'm rocking these at the moment.

LogMeIn Ignition - Superb.
iTap RDP Client - Again, Superb.
Penultimate - Liking this for notes in meetings.
WeatherBug - Works well it seems.
Angry Birds - I have it on my iPhone but it's suck an ace game I had to get it for iPad too.
Air Video - Just fantastic. Works really, really well.
Pinball HD - I love pinball.
Geometry Wars - Fun fun fun.

Plants vs Zombies, Civilization Revolution, Geometry Wars and Scrabble I'm playing all the time and recommend those

 

[tsinc80697]

Thanks! is Plants vs Zombies really worth £6? Seems bleedin expensive!

No DHL UK, no TNT UK, no DPD UK.

Once they've added those I'd be up for it...

 

[Wyrdo]

I don't see the point in that tracking app. Why not just use the companie's web page when you're expecting a parcel?

And that's as cool how?

 

[Wyrdo]

I didn't realise tracking parcels was cool?

I've tracked DHL and TNT parcels

Handy if you've ordered 5 or 6 items because they all appear in one list and are instantly clickable. Also, maps!

 

[Wyrdo]

True, I see your point. It would probably help if I'd watched the video you posted about the app but Youtube is blocked here at work

Man, ive got so many apps at home for iPad but cant use any of them until i get home and sync my new shiney shiney to itunes

 

[DELETED_63174]

Anyone else really disappointed with the apps available so far? I thought there would be loads more I wanted to download, I only have about 7.

 

[Westyfield2]

Come on all you guys who got them today, not many of you posting in here!

I've tracked DHL and TNT parcels

Hacks?
