It's always tough waiting for a package. It's even tougher not knowing when it will arrive. With Shiparoo-iOS, this mobile app will allow users to check the status of their packages at all times. And by inputting a phone number along with their tracking number, users can easily receive realtime updates on the status of their packages from delivery to arrival. Never lose track of another package again!
Shiparoo-iOS is the mobile version of Shiparoo.
Shiparoo and Shiparoo-iOS are personal projects by Calvin Yau, Daniel Chang, and Justin Suen.
