Parcel's interface is very similar to that of posted. Both apps are very accessible. I've tracked the same parcel with both apps. Parcel seems to query the server more frequently so push messages on delivery status come in faster in Parcel. With both apps you can also scan barcodes on parcel labels, this is easily manageable if you're blind. Comes in handy when you want to track a parcel you sent.

How do you go about setting up filters for Gmail for Parcel? I have clearly done something wrong because the last two things that it should have received automatically by the filter I set in my Gmail account, Parcel never received, and I am pretty sure things were setup correctly.

This app is still going strong in terms of accessibility. I have been using it for a few years now and I have had zero issues with it.
The app entry does need to be updated, however, as the app is now on version 7.11 at the time of this post.

The cost of the subscription is worth it. I'm getting a pair of Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses on Tuesday. I have always found this app very easy to use, and it is accurate and handy.

For years, I was using a different app; think it was called parcel track, or something like that. Anyway, when I heard about this one, I decided to check it out, and have never looked back. This is my go to app when it comes to tracking packages. My only minor quibble is that I wish there was something in settings where you could have it automatically paste from the clipboard rather than having to give permission every single time. Not a huge deal by any means, but it would be a nice optional feature to have available, at least in my opinion. In any case, this is a fantastic app, and I highly recommend it.
