The US Postal Service (USPS) is testing out a new Android app that brings the carrier’s “Informed Delivery” service to your smartphone in what looks to be a well-designed app.
Informed Delivery is a USPS service that allows users to get an email each day that shows what is coming in the mail. That includes letters, but also packages. It’s a handy offering, but it can easily get lost in a busy inbox – especially as Gmail automatically filters it into the “Updates” tab.
The USPS is now preparing to launch a mobile app for Informed Delivery, with a beta program underway on Android as first highlighted by Droid-Life. You can use an existing account or create a new one, as well as scan tracking numbers and barcodes to track within the app. The app was first announced last year.
