So Helpful!!

I only just got this app for an overseas trip and I didnโ€™t know what to pack. Packr thinks of everything from what to do before you leave the house, clothes and includes certain activities. Would definitely recommend itโ€™s a life saver!

Thank you very much for your review Annie!

Awesome!

It gives you a list that is easy to altar. Then you can duplicate and tick it off, there is also an option for Notifications reminding you to pack. An essential app for a busy/new traveller

Great app and works with Trip It!

I love this app, easy to use fairly easy to edit in the pro version. I would however agree with one of the other reviews. It would be nice for duplicate entries such as sunglasses, etc. to be checked off in multiple categories, this will enhance the flexibility and ease-of-use to the level. My workaround for the moment is to create a list of things I always take, essentials, which goes on every trip.

Another nice feature would be for lists for each family member contained in a single app. Just an idea.

I suggest the pro version, Customizable create your own lists etc.

Thank you very much for your detailed review webmerlin! We will look into your suggestions, family lists are definitely on the to-do list for a future update.

Limited Categories?

I really like the ease of the app, the way you can select accommodations/activities etc to make your list. But I am finding it hard to work with the categories/activities that you have. There is no food list to use (which would go along with several of the accommodations including camping). I also need to pack for a child - clothes, toys, bedding etc and I'm ending up trying to mash up the adult and the baby to make it work. If I were to go premium could I add my own categories and have them be able to be used later in other lists? Is there a future thought to adding more categories and items? Thank you

Sync issues

Itโ€™s very annoying and ineffective... Deleted items keep re appearing, the user gender changes randomly and sync between devices is a nightmare... surely these are not difficult to fix!?

100% best app ever

Itโ€™s so perfect! All you have to do is say where and when youโ€™re going and your gender and it makes the most perfect and accurate checklist for you along with the weather for your place of travel at that time. It even gives you a reminder of when your plane is leaving and when you should leave if youโ€™re driving. Itโ€™s so awesome. And if you donโ€™t need something on the checklist or you think you need something else you can add and delete things. This app is perfect and I 100% recommend it!

Cruising must

The App copes really well with an Around Australia Cruise. Love it ๐Ÿค—

Great update

I downloaded this app before my most recent trip and after only a few minutes I realised that the ability to create my own lists was essential so I purchased the pro upgrade. Once I was on holiday (without any data signal) I found I wanted to make some changes to the default lists, and also some additions to my new lists but found it wasnโ€™t possible to amend the defaults which I found frustrating. I would have only given it 4 stars if it was not for the fact that when I arrived home and got my signal back there was an update waiting that fixed the issues I was having. This is now a 5 star app and a travel essential for me for future trips

Itโ€™s Rubbish

Everything you ever wanted to know about this app is detailed in the heading of my review - Itโ€™s rubbish

Response from developer

It's a shame you do not explain why this app is rubbish. That would really help us understand why you don't like Packr. I am sure the 1000+ 5โ˜… ratings do not feel the same as you do.

Difficult and unnecessary

This app helped me realise I donโ€™t need an app like this. I paid to edit lists and canโ€™t. You delete something and it comes right back. You edit a name and it doesnโ€™t change. As others described, itโ€™s clunky and difficult to use. It was quicker to pack than create a list. In the end I went back to the checklist I have in Apple notes and wondered why I ever thought I needed something else.
