  1. 5/5My Go-To App

    I use the USPS app primarily for tracking any expected incoming packages and the status of packages and other parcels that I’ve sent. This includes items sent overseas. It lets me know when I can expect delivery at the destination. The USPS app helps me to use their services with confidence from my laptop or mobile device anywhere. This app lets me determine the best prices and options for shipping items. As the USPS often serves as the “last mile” carrier for the other package delivery companies, this is shown on the USPS tracking information. And it allows me to hold my mail when I’m out of town. The U.S. Postal Service and their employees are very dependable and deliver my mail and packages with professionalism and reliability. My regular neighborhood mail carrier is familiar with many of the people on her route and makes sure that delivered packages are either safety locked in the neighborhood package mailbox or brought up to my front door entrance and placed in a location not visible from the street. This is greatly appreciated as package thieves are rampant here. The USPS app lets me know the package has been delivered.

  2. 3/5So so at best!

    I can’t believe that for all practical purposes all you can do is track packages in this app. In today’s day and age you should be able to do everything in the app from shipping labels and scheduling a pickup to managing your mail as well as checking informed delivery, all of these things require you to be routed to the website. They haven’t made any material changes to the app since it’s launch and that’s just pathetic. At the very least if you have a USPS account you should be able to login, but I guess seeing how you can’t do anything besides track packages it doesn’t make a difference. All of the above are prime reasons why the post office lost market share to the likes of FedEx and UPS. That said the app is a necessary evil so you may as well download it seeing as it’s free. Update: several years have passed since my original review and yet nothing has substantially changed with the app. I am still disappointed overall with the lack of options with this app, yet I still consider it a necessary evil given that it’s free. Update February 2022 Terrible!!! It’s unbelievable that they took a so so app and made it a horrible app in a short period of time. Now all you can do is store a tracking number in the app and when you click on it it takes you to the website…what’s the point of having an app if it’s going to take you to the website to track your package! They should either develop a real app or do away with it altogether. Either way they should get it together.

  3. 1/5Terrible/hate it

    This app is always under maintenance every month you can never see the changes that they made I always have a issue with not getting my mail when I look at the app to see what mail is coming the postal workers always seem to put other people mail in my mailbox when my name is on the mailbox but I can’t get my mail they deliver when they want to or don’t deliver my mail at all they will even lie when it comes to my packages and say they couldn’t deliver it because they didn’t have access when there is nothing on the porch to prevent them from leaving it it’s frustrating when iam waiting for something to come in the mail and I never receive it I have been to the post office on multiple occasions complaining to the supervisor but nothing ever gets done the postal workers will also stuff my box with a lot of junk mail and put other mail overtop of the mailboxes because they’re too lazy to put the mail where it goes nobody should have to sort through the mail to find their mail I don’t get paid for that that’s their job this app is down for maintenance almost every week and it gets worse iam really considering deleting this app for good and just check my mail when I can also you no longer can see the mail you’re getting the next day the evening before they took that away why now when you don’t receive your mail it’s no way to check the box so they can bring the mail back to you iam constantly frustrated and I hate this app will be deleting this app because it’s pointless to have it to see your mail and never receive it

  4. 1/5Not accurate!!

    The folks at the post office were very rude upon me telling them the app showed I had mail!! The clerk told me the app was not accurate and was not helpful at all!! This is a time of hardship and struggle for mostly all right now! They assume everyone coming in to the offices are looking for a government check or handouts! I own property and was getting work done in my basement so I wasn’t at the residence at the time I had to stay with family until it was done. I went to check my mail every few days as usual but for some reason the mail carrier in my area was able to determine since I’m not there every day I shouldn’t receive my mail. Hadn’t been receiving mail for 3 months and didn’t know it and was checking my mail every other day!! When I got the app I discovered I was getting mail but not at my home. Got to the post office and was told the app is not accurate and to fill out a change of residence because they returned all my mail to sender bills and all, obviously if I’m getting bills that are on in a house I own I live there?!?! Instead of telling me I can have them hold my mail to make everything simple he continued to tell me my only option was to have a change of address even tho I told him I still lived at the residence I just was getting pipes fixed and couldn’t be there with no running water. Yes of course this office was at diplomat Fort Wayne IN. In a minority neighborhood where they look down their noses at everyone who comes in and treat everyone like poor folk!!

  5. 1/5Terrible and useless app!

    This app just opens the USPS website within the app, users are better off just going directly to the USPS website through their preferred browser. I don’t know why anyone would bother using this app, and frankly to me this app is a waste of time and resources! An app should access the various functions directly through their own systems, not via a webpage! The USPS informed delivery dashboard has overlapping elements which prevent you from seeing what it’s supposed to show you, the webpage does that so I got the app hoping that’d work right but of course it doesn’t because it’s literally the exact same thing since the app ONLY opens a browser window and takes you to the USPS website. I tried other functions and it seems like all of them just use the webpage, I didn’t try tracking anything nor calculating shipping though so I can’t speak to those functions. I’m certain the Postal Service has plenty of great programmers and systems engineers, and USPS is very profitable, so I can only conclude some outside force has tied their hands resulting in this terrible app, much like how other aspects of the vital (and historically excellent) Postal Service have been deliberately hamstrung. If outside financial and political interests got out of the way I’m certain this app would be great (as would USPS services in general, like they used to be since the very beginning of our nation).

    The USPS Mobile app allows you to: • Check the status of shipments sent using Priority Mail®, Priority Mail Express®, Certified Mail®, and certain other delivery services. Nickname your shipments and sign up for text and email alerts to notify you of the delivery status. • Calculate a Domestic or International Price to determine how much postage you will need when you ship a letter, card, large envelope, or package (limitations apply). Choose retail or online pricing, add any extra services you need, and view the total, too. • Find USPS® Locations when you need to get to a Post Office™, Self-Service Kiosk (APC®) or collection box with an easy-to-filter locator. The USPS Mobile app uses your device’s GPS to show your closest options on a map, along with their Regular Hours, Special Hours and Last Collection Times, and provides mapped results with driving, walking, or transit directions. • Look up a ZIP Code™ for any U.S. or Canadian address. • Schedule a free next-day pickup and have your Letter Carrier pick up Priority Mail®, Priority Mail Express®, Global Express Guaranteed®, or Merchandise Return Services shipments from your home or office during regular mail delivery. • Request Hold Mail Service while you’re away, and we’ll keep your mail at your local Post Office™ for you to pick up or be delivered by your carrier when you return. • Scan the barcode on shipping labels with your device’s camera (Note: this function is not available on iPad 1 and iPod Touch models without rear-facing cameras). The app recognizes the shipment and stores the label number, so you can stay on top of delivery status. Link to Informed Delivery to track packages and digitally preview your household’s incoming mail arriving soon; view grayscale images of the exterior, address side of letter-sized mailpieces.
