Apps for March 18, 2012

Slice – shopping organized

Slice is an app that helps you keep track of your shipments, whether that be purchases you make online or a package you are to receive from a friend. Slice tracks shipments by analyzing your Gmail or Yahoo e-mail account and looking for e-mails that contain shipping information, e.g. an e-mail from Wal-Mart telling your your purchase has been shipped or an e-mail from UPS sending you a reminder about your package. When a shipment is found, Slice starts to automatically track it, letting you know things such as a package has been shipped, a package is out for delivery, or a package has been delivered. As added bonuses, Slice keeps track of your purchase history related to the shipments it finds; Slice informs you if there has been a price drop for the product you bought, allowing you to potentially ask the merchant for some money back; Slice tracks Groupons, Living Social and Gilt City vouchers; and Slice can be used as a method of backing up your online purchase receipts. Take note Slice only works with USA merchants and Yahoo/Gmail at this time; also, you must register a (free) account with Slice before you can use it.
