  • Great! Better than my memory!

    The app is relatively easy when you get used to it. Easy to add items you want to keep in the catalog & delete the ones you don't want. Can re-use past trips which makes it faster for future trip planning. Currently using it for a 4 week trip which is more complex & I a feel more confident about the trip knowing I will have remembered to pack everything I need. Even though the trip is still a few months away, it's handy having the pre-trip items to remind me to get vaccinations, organize passport etc.

  • Useful but a bit flakey

    Pretty good functionality in this app, which I use regularly and have owned for several years.

    Good points include the ability to create a master catalogue and select items from the catalogue to make many individual lists.

    Bad points are mainly to do with iCloud sync which has never worked reliably, and seems especially bad in the latest version.

    Overall, I'd recommend it but back up your data and beware of the sync problems.

  • Useful and simple. Highly recommend

    This app is great, easy to navigate and I find myself actually using it. It's a keeper!
  • I love this!

    Great app. Easily customizable. Very user friendly. Highly recommended. Yep, you may have to put in some work but it's worth it. It's highly customizable too - I actually add my clothes to the master list by type, brand and colour which I find helpful when planning outfits for trips. The added bonus for this is that when qantas loses your bag you can tell them, and your insurance company exactly what it is you've lost, and the cost. Hey Quinn, would you consider adding the ability to use photos?

  • Great! The sample lists are excellent and really help remind you what you so often forget.

    I highly recommend.
  • Still so so

    The problem with this app isn't that its intentions are good. It sets out to be a truly comprehensive packing app, and buried in there is just about everything you could want to pack, and a complete system for doing so. The problem with it is that the basic user interface design is cumbersome and confusing, quite ugly to look at, and overly complex to learn, as demonstrated by the LONG help section. This makes it quite frustrating to use. There's a really GREAT app waiting to get out here, but it's not there yet. I've looked at just about every list or packing list out there and haven't found one that really does it in a simple, intuitive way. And to me 'intuitive' is key to just about all great apps and software - a little bit of education about the way it approaches things, and you're away. If I was going on a major trip and could be bothered setting all of this up, it would be truly useful. But for regular use it's just too byzantine. Please IMPROVE and I'll be back here praising it to the skies: get a good graphic designer, simplify the interface dramatically, offer web backup (would be ideal...). I should add I'm not saying to anyone else to avoid it - it is useful; just be prepared to put in a fair bit of work and put up with a bit of frustration along the way.
