My new app for Windows Phone. Allows you to track your parcels from multiple couriers in one place.

Currently working with:
SAPO
Speed Services
Fastway
Courier Guy

If you need a courier supported PM me a waybill so that I know how to parse it, using the app takes very little data much less than visiting the couriers site & also as you know with the rest of my apps they're minimalistic with no ads.

I use SAPO a lot to send parcels, looking forward to this app, thanks!
 
Yup only on WP. Might play around on Xamarin later to bring it to other platforms.
 
no big 3 couriers on it? IE: Fedex,DHL,UPS?
maybe I can get you a waybill sent later from Fedex.

also no android? why?

Working on DHL atm. A FedEx waybill would be awesome! I code for WP cause I get all my software from MS for free through DreamSpark also because I wanna become a MSP hopefully.
 
Thanks, downloaded. ;)

Will be very useful, but my initial feedback so far (hope you don't mind):

1. I tried using SAPO and see it is case sensitive. It returns an error if you enter the tracking number in lower case.

2. The last line of the summary is cut off on my L920, please see attachment.

3. Is it possible to make one of the couriers as default?

For Android? Why should they get all the apps, for once WP is first!

This works exactly as the SAPO site so you have to input the TN the same.
Normally SAPO doesn't make use of comments but I think that's different for you guys on CPT so I'll sort that out in the next update.
What do you mean default? Notifications and live tile updates are coming out in the next major update :)

nice :) never got around to it :P

pm if you want free API access to other courier I have

Thanks!

Nope, on the SAPO website (http://sms.postoffice.co.za/tracking/Parcel.aspx) you can include or exclude the 'za' suffix, it so allows both upper and lower case.

As I'll use SAPO tracking for 99.9% of the time, I have to keep clicking the dropdown box and select Post Office every time I open the app. Would be nice to mark Post Office (or one of the other companies) as the default search option so that it defaults to that search option every time I open the app.

Hi I don't use the link you provided as that one is kinda buggy I use another from the SAPO site that handles both SAPO and SS. Will look into storing your preference.

Work on MDS is almost complete.
 
added banner ad to push you some win phone traffic :P hope it's not too terrible haha

Haha I saw that while testing my app with a link to your site. Its awesome thanks!

Btw. The minor update is almost out with support for MDS and the ability to remember your last courier used.
