There are many ways to track packages on Windows 10, including via Cortana, but if you're in an area where Cortana isn't available or you just want a dedicated app for tracking packages, Packages Tracker is a solid choice.
The app is available for free, though to track unlimited packages you'll have to spend $1.49. However, we had an issue with the app that kept us from tracking any packages until we upgraded to the premium version. We read the app reviews, though, and this doesn't seem like a widespread problem.
It works across Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, and HoloLens.
The app is simple but it's hard to imagine wanting frills or a more complicated design just to track packages.
Wide range of courier support
The app supports tracking packages from 130 couriers. The most popular ones are there, and the developer seems open to adding more if people request it.
That number includes regional variants for many couriers, a nice touch to make sure you can track your packages no matter where you are.
To add a package you just click on the plus icon at the bottom of the app. You can name the package whatever you'd like. You then add the tracking number and the provider and it adds the package to the app.
Packages Tracker features
Packages Tracker lets you select security login options, including Windows Hello, allows you to sync and backup your content through OneDrive, and it also has the option to turn notifications on or off.
The syncing is especially useful as the app is available across so many types of Windows devices.
It also has a barcode scanner and the option to pin packages to Live tiles.
Design
The app embraces many elements of the Fluent Design System language as well as other UI elements that Windows users like seeing. It has light and dark themes, blur effects in the right places, and uses familiar icons. It's a very minimalistic app that just does its job while fitting into your array of Windows apps.
Wrapping up
Packages Tracker is an easy-to-use app that does its job and looks good while doing it. It has the features you'd like in a package tracking app and they're easy to find.
