★★★★ Daniele Cecchinato 5/7/2026
Doesn't support mydhl users. Hence useless to my needs.
★★★★ DTR 5/7/2026 v5.14.0
Absolutely worthless. First parcel was left with a business even though the preferences in the app and the profile clearly stated that the parcel should go to a sorting/storage facility if unable to be delivered. The second parcel was undelivered because the courrier didn't have the correct phone# (the sender included the wrong phone number) yet the correct number, again, is both in the DHL profile AND the app. WHY bother having a mobile app at ALL, just use a courier pigeon. Nula
★★★★ Pri 5/5/2026 v3.6.0
Bring back normal DHL app
★★★★ D D 5/4/2026 v5.14.0
Warum 2 schlechte DHL Apps?! Ist eine schlechte DHL App etwa nicht schlecht genug?!
★★★★ Eszter Gulyás 5/3/2026 v5.14.0
You are not allowed to add multiple addresses in different countries. So basically it is useless to me since I travel a lot and spend my time split between countries.
★★★★ Keiana Smith 5/2/2026 v5.14.0
It says something is wrong with my phone number and then I can't track a package I'm receiving :( Horrible app...
★★★★ malik nomi 4/30/2026

★★★★ Jussi Heikelä 4/28/2026 v5.14.0

★★★★ Stephen Hill 4/27/2026
Appalling app. Searching by shipment number does not show any evidence of an 'in transit' parcel, yet the desktop website (where there is also the option of adding a delivery postcode along with a shipment number) shows full tracking. Why does the mobile app not have the postcode option? Poor.
★★★★ simon leaity 4/25/2026 v5.0.1
why on earth wouldn't your systems all be integrated or linked, surely having a mydhl login should work such an antiquated system/company
★★★★ Ronald Darling 4/24/2026 v5.14.0
it's not giving me full details like the web version , why?
★★★★ Dmytro Vynokurov 4/24/2026 v5.14.0
The app is stuck on startup. Utterly uselss. I'm past the notifications check and file access check. Then nothing else happens
★★★★ p Kumar 4/22/2026 v5.14.0
Not all functions work properly. I don't know who is the developer of this app. Please stop making this nonsense app.
★★★★ Sebastian Forero 4/21/2026
App doesn't even load.
★★★★ Vinay Kumar K 4/20/2026 v5.14.0
UI UX issues in Android

Doesn't Work
★★★★ Antoinette Pottow 4/13/2026 v5.14.0
no upfate on my parcel for 5 days now
★★★★ Jamie Canning 4/13/2026
waste of time, couldn't even track my parcel, but I can track it just fine using the website, apparently the tracking number I have got is 'invalid' as it requests a 10 digit tracking number, mine is longer (14). how can I track my dhl parcel on your site but not the app, ridiculous, why even have an app?
★★★★ Topsy Ball 4/12/2026 v5.14.0
so frustrating app
★★★★ Scott Tyldesley 4/12/2026 v5.14.0
Poor service and parcel still hasn't been delivered as promised.
★★★★ Stephen Carter 4/9/2026 v5.14.0
app doesn't work you can't login and find your details or track parcels 🤷🏻‍♂️ pointless
★★★★ A Google user 4/8/2026 v5.14.0
terrible shipper
★★★★ Anthony 4/8/2026 v5.14.0
your service is very unreliable I've been waiting 2 days for a delivery. nobody has turned up at my house. you can't speak to anybody. customer service is absolutely diabolical the drivers do not phone. you contact you in any way whatsoever. you can't get hold of the drivers and they do not turn up at your house
★★★★ kastraki kadakis 4/6/2026
From 1/4 untill the 8/4 one whole week offices closed ??? Not be the post closes so many days . are you a courier or public service..
★★★★ lock crimson 4/6/2026
Cannot register my account. It keep saying, my account got banned, while I never make any account at all for this app. I'm a first time user, because my customer want to use DHL so much, while this app making it hard for me and wasting time. Stupid.
★★★★ Helen Walton 4/5/2026 v5.14.0
I've entered tracking but no parcel is found, copy and paste so no errors. If I go through Chrome to the website tracking using the same copy and paste it's found immediately. What is the point of the app if it can't find a parcel from a DHL tracking number???
★★★★ Robin Gulenchyn 4/3/2026
Doesn't work. Could not verify my mobile number because I never receive thr code. Was bounced back and forth between customer service and tech support. No one can help with the app.
★★★★ Mikey 4/3/2026 v5.14.0
Terrible company. 2nd time the driver couldn't find my home. Address is absolutely correct. No phone number to contact company. Worst delivery service!
★★★★ Nathan M 4/2/2026 v5.14.0
your entered waybill no or shipper name does not exist
★★★★ andrey rozano 4/2/2026 v5.14.0
worst ever delivery company
★★★★ chris kennedy 4/2/2026 v5.14.0
pointless . website shows more info then the app
★★★★ PJ Zoulias 3/31/2026 v5.14.0
Surely not compliant with EU accessibility regulations. Captcha is visual only and impossible for me to see (and entirely unnecessary as part of a registration process). Dont so far has been strong and immune to phone font scaling.
★★★★ Atif Awan 3/30/2026 v5.13.0
the worst customer service by dhl. sending mails no reply. once you book after your quotation then after the arrival rates will be higher in the DHL invoice as per quotaion and upon your request for clarification not a single person will assist you
★★★★ Sally Duncan 3/25/2026
Doesn't recognise UK tracking numbers
★★★★ Diego Ramirez 3/23/2026 v5.14.0
The drivers womt even try to notify when they at your door poor service
★★★★ laura ferguson 3/23/2026 v5.14.0
always asks for you to recheck your address then blanks. useless
★★★★ Carlos de Lannoy 3/22/2026 v5.14.0
Finding it straight up unusable so far. I powered through all the quirks in fill-in forms, and every time, at the last minute, the payment option I choose errors out. Creditcard? No reaction. Wero? Error in link. Every time I try, I need to re-enter several bits of information. Incredibly unprofessional, terrible experience.
★★★★ Antoine 3/20/2026 v5.14.0
utterly useless. no contact details, conflicting tracking info
★★★★ Jordan Mejia 3/19/2026 v5.14.0
I'm not sure why after having to be forced to pay over $500 in shipping and import fees, DHL is lacking in actual tracking updates, some web links on their site do not work, and trying to contact any Human being will automatically be lead to their customer service line in Tempe Arizona. How is any of that information helpful or acceptable in tracking a package? Especially after promptly paying my shipping and import duty fee, 2 hours after receiving it. Package stuck in Cincinnati....
★★★★ Earl Freyo 3/18/2026 v5.14.0
I don't recommend DHL. From the Philippines, my package was tampered, switch, and stolen. Frustrating! BOR and the Philippines agencies/customs are freaking corrupt! I hated it! My mom worked hard for it and they are just going to steal it!
★★★★ Mark Thompson 3/16/2026 v5.14.0
pointless app, every time I get DHL tracking number it doesn't work there are no other DHL apps that I know of for parcel tracking and I have to use DHL ecommerce website to track my parcels so what even is this useless app?
★★★★ Nakkazi Suzan 3/16/2026
express took forever
★★★★ William 3/12/2026 v5.14.0
Uninstalled. no help available if they hand off the package to a dodgy disorganized partner carrier when it doesn't show up.
★★★★ cool pad 3/11/2026 v5.14.0
131kB undeletable data.
★★★★ Mohammed Ameen 3/10/2026 v5.14.0
Very worst app
★★★★ Rajveer 3/8/2026 v5.14.0
showing the price too much at the wrong price
★★★★ Amir Mir 3/8/2026 v5.14.0

★★★★ Karyn Methven 3/7/2026 v5.14.0
