WHAT CAN IT DO?
Find USPS® Locations when you need to get to a Post Office™, Self-Service Kiosk (APC®) or collection box with an easy-to-filter locator. The USPS Mobile app uses your device’s GPS and map features to show your closest options, along with their Regular Hours, Special Hours and Last Collection Times, and provides mapped results with driving, walking, or transit directions.
Look up a ZIP Code™ for any U.S. address.
Calculate a Price to determine how much postage you will need when you ship a letter, card, large envelope, or package (limitations apply). Now you can choose retail or online pricing, add any extra services you need, and view the total, too.
Use the USPS Tracking™ tool to check the status of shipments sent using Priority Mail Express®, Certified Mail®, and certain other delivery services. You can give your shipment a nickname and save it in the app to easily keep tabs on your items.
Schedule a next-day pickup and have your Letter Carrier pick up Priority Mail®, Priority Mail Express®, Global Express Guaranteed®, or Merchandise Return Services from your home or office during regular mail delivery.
Request Hold Mail Service while you’re away, and we’ll keep your mail at your local Post Office™ until you return.
Scan the barcode on shipping labels with your phone’s camera (not available on iPad 1 and iPod Touch models without rear-facing cameras). The app recognizes the shipment and stores the label number, so you can stay on top of its status.
You can also save coupons and keep them organized in your phone to redeem at merchants who accept digital coupons. Please check the merchant’s coupon redemption policy, as some merchants may require a physical coupon at the time of purchase.
IMPORTANT: The barcode-scanning function is not available on these devices: iPad 1 and iPod Touch models without rear-facing cameras.

Almost pointless for tracking now
Nickname Gestapo
I used to use this app a lot to organize, label and track packaged which were coming and going. Since the app has been changed to redirect to a website instead of providing tracking info within the app itself, I can no longer change the tracking number to a label I can recognize faster, there’s an annoying pop up alert every time you visit your list which was never there before and pressing cancel or ok does the same thing, so not sure why they bother having two options for input there. Then instead of staying within the app to see my information, I get redirected to my browser and have to bounce back and forth between the browser and the app to view multiple items. These updates are huge leaps in usability failures. I can save time by checking my email and clicking the links on there to get almost the same usability experience. There are still some not so often used features I can still appreciate in the app, but as far as tracking goes now? … nah…
Finally, a USPS App!

This app could be better, but this is a start. Informed delivery is helpful. Mostly, this app links to the website.
What happened

This used to be a terrific app but something changed. Almost every function (searches, etc) automatically send you to a browser. Why have an app if you want us to use a browser. Useless, deleted.

Tracking

It used to be that it kept about a year’s history of all tracked packages. Now when you add a tracking number it switches to a web interface, shows the tracking info until you leave the screen for a minute then forgets it. What was wrong with the great info it used to show? Probably caused by that new idiotic postmaster general whose sole aim is to shut down the Post Office.
Great and awful

Great knowing what is coming if you you are expecting somethin in the mail Awful- Do you want the feds to have a photo record of all the mail that you receive
App doesn’t work like it used to

You can no longer tack packages in the app. It alerts you that you are leaving the site and a warning pops up which wouldn’t be a problem if it didn’t pop up for every item you try to track. There shouldn’t be an app if it just redirects you to the website.
