USPS Mobile (Free)
Version 1.0.1
REVIEW – “This all-in-one, easy to use app has already helped me on more than one occasion and I have only had it for three days.”
For those of you who are fans of FedEX and UPS because you can easily track packages and know exactly where
they are at all times, you will love the new USPS Mobile app. Not only can you track your packages, you can locate post offices nearby (or anywhere really) and look up addresses to make sure that they are correct before you drop them off. Sadly I must admit that I never really had a lot of faith in the Postal Service but with this new app, my faith has been restored.
The USPS Mobile app is easy to use, has a clean interface and is a much better alternative than using the internet. There are four options at the bottom of the app: locations, zip codes, track and more. Each of these four 
options then provides more options to narrow down your search and make it as easy as possible to find what you are looking for. The “locations” option allows you to look for actual office locations, automated centers or collection boxes. The built-in GPS feature uses your location to bring up a map flagging all of the locations in your area. You can also zoom in on the map to get the exact location.
The “look up a zip code” option is a search by address, city or the cities in a particular zip code. If you are like me, I can remember addresses no problem, but for some reason, if I forget any part of the address, it’s the zip code. For the life of me, zip codes just don’t stick. So here you are, addressing an envelope to your best friend and you blank on the zip code. Your first thought is, why did she have to move so far away and your 
second thought is now I have to look up the zip code. Luckily, with this app, you can search by typing in the portion of her address that you do remember or you can search by city. Simple, right?
The last option, and in my opinion, the most useful, is the “track & confirm”. Everyone gets a little paranoid when mailing packages – you usually want to make sure that it arrives, in tact and in a timely matter. The “track & confirm” option allows you to track your package with all of the details and history: example, left the Fresno sort facility at 9:39 pm on 12/28… it’s great. It gives you a timeline as to when your package should arrive and everywhere that it went in between.
The US Postal Service really stepped up its game with this app. I would now put them on the same shelf as FedEX and UPS. Now, with this app and their improved website, what do they do that the others don’t? If you ship or track a lot of things, this app is definitely one that you want to download. It’s free, easy to use and gives you peace of mind when mailing things out. No more sitting at home waiting thinking, today might be the day that my new shoes come… with USPS Mobile, you have all of the information that you need stored neatly in your iPhone. It’s the perfect solution.
