About this app

Never worry about another package being stolen!!

Protect your front porch by securing all deliveries in your BenchSentry.

Manage all Tracking Codes for your upcoming deliveries from your mobile app. Create custom Entry Codes for friends and family so they, too, can access the Bench. Tracking and Entry Codes are synced to the Bench from your mobile app. Delivery drivers will be prompted to enter a portion of the Tracking Code to access your Bench.

You will be notified of all Bench activities, deliveries, access using an Entry Code and any failed attempts to access your Bench.

The Bench can be used by ALL carriers (USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL, Amazon, OnTrac) and home delivery services (meal delivery, grocery delivery, dry cleaning, neighborhood swap, etc).

Ratings and reviews

App is quirky! It doesn't update the current status of the lock after use without having to quit the app to reset it. And also, there's a long lag in communication to respond after attempting to open or close from the app, even with wifi status showing as excellent, about 20 seconds, sometimes longer or it just gives up. With excellent wifi connection, I'd expect less than 5sec and to work all the time without lag. There's been times that a quicker response time was absolutely necessary.

Love My Bench Sentry! But the app could use more improving. It will not allow me to go back by clicking on my phones back button. You have to go to menu everytime and choose where you want to go next. It also doesn't have a feature where you can move deliveries to the delivered section in cases where the the dropbox wasn't used but delivered straight to the recipient. It only allows you to delete. It would be nice to still keep a log/record of all delivered packages even if the box wasn't used.

Overall, a good app, you could use improvements though.. Definitely would be awesome to integrate with shop or route package tracking applications to where the last 4 of the tracking number can be automatically generated as the code for bench century.
