Print App Mailbox Notifiers

The Postifier is a Real Time Mailbox Notification App

— January 23, 2014 — Tech
The 'Postifier' is a real time mailbox notification app that ensures you will never have to check your home postbox. It's the only Bluetooth-enabled device that notifies your smartphone if your actual mail arrived. Not everyone has time to check and pick up their junk mail from their home mail box. The Postifier can check that for you instantly for your own convenience. This app supports iOS and Android devices using Bluetooth SMART (Low Energy)consumption.

It has a battery life of over nine months usage depending on how frequent it's operated. The average pairing range of 30 meters or 100 feet allows optimal space to detect whether something has actually arrived. This mailbox notification app is still under development but would be useful for those who don't want to pick up annoying print ads in their postbox.
