  • Incredible for musicians or A/V pros

    The uses for this app go beyond travel - as a musician, I use this as a checklist for rehearsals, gigs and trips where I have to transport my home studio. The amount of stress it relieves/prevents is indescribable. Yes, it can take some time to set up templates, but you’ll save so much time forever after. “Where are my pliers?” You can search for an item on location, and the app will tell you what bag it’s in. Bonus for being a rare app in 2018 that lets the user fully skin the interface. So powerful. Probably needs a more modern icon, looks a little outdated. That’s about as much as I can complain about. Can’t live without it.

  • Love it

    I like this app. Really helps me pack for various trips. Weekends, ski, work. Keeps all info. Reminds you of what you used and what you didn’t. Great list keeper. One thing I don’t like is sometimes the quantity of an item keeps changing. Not sure why.
  • Simple or complicated your choice, it suits everyone

    As a frequent traveller to many locations with varied climates, I was forever modifying template lists. The master lists (time consuming to set up, but worth it) save so much time overall.
    Plus if you are packing a RV or Van the adding weight of the individual items helps you know wither you are in legal GVM ETC. limits or not before you even start to pack. Extremely helpful.
    The developers response to questions was rapid and on point. An app that delivers what it says.

  • Not useful.

    Overly complicated and specific. Not well thought out. The two things I have forgotten the most often on my travels (over a 100,000 miles/year) are not among the hundreds of items on any of the lists: 2) a dress belt and 2) to notify my credit cards I was leaving the country. I suppose you could add them as separate, unique items but I would’ve thought that these two very common items would’ve already been available. You can’t just add socks: you have to pick from among nine different kinds of socks. If you try and add socks as a separate item, you’re simply told socks is already an available category and you have to pick from it.

  • Very useful! Takes the thinking out of Packing

    Super useful app for packing. It takes the thinking out of everything you need to do, before you go. Even organizing your mail! If you tend to overpack like I do, this will be your friend.
  • Go-To Packing List

    I’ve used this list several years! I mostly customize my items versus the default categories which is easy to do. It also allows for separate lists for each family member which I use, too. The backup feature is easy to use and works great. A recommendation I have is to add the ability for it to call up options already in the system when I start typing an item I’m adding to a list. Thanks!

  • I LOVE THIS APP!

    This is a the best ever travel packing app in the world. I travel overseas several times a year, take a cruise or two each year as well. This app is great for all that, as you can start with their master list, then customize it to meet your own needs. As an example, I have Scandinavia list (cold gear), Caribbean cruise (hot & humid), Europe spring list and fall list etc. Makes my packing so much easier as well as reduces my OCD worry that I brought what I was going to need. I needed a backup recently and Quinn in their CustomerService department really helped out as well. Great product, extremely under priced for the value it provides. Go for it, you’ll love it.

  • Keeping organized despite being super busy

    I love this app. I love the flexibility to add a variety of items to my lists and organize them into groups. I can add an item just to my trip list or add an item to the master list if it is something I am going to need regularly. I also love the ability to add notes to each item if I want to clarify something specific for this specific trip (ex. Listing the specific sandals that I will take on the trip).
    When planning for my trip and I suddenly remember something to add, I can easily add it instead of forgetting when I get home to add to the packing pile or paper list.
    It is also great at identifying what I need to buy - either because I am out of something or need something special for the trip.

  • Great packing list!

    I really like how flexible and customizable this app is. We used it on our recent Disney trip and only managed to forget packing one thing (cuff links) because I hadn’t added them to a list. I think this is the first time we went on a trip and only forgot one minor thing! I even got my husband to use it. The ability to add reminders is also very useful. The only thing missing that would make the app perfect is if it could sync in real time between devices for two users.

  • Amazingly deep checklist app

    I am one of those anal-retentive list-making people that loves clicking off done-done-done as I complete tasks. This app is like a fantasy come true. As I leave the house and I check off “turn off lights” and “lock door” I tick off “iPad” and slide the device in my bag. This app is literally with me nonstop during my trip preparation process.

    I have totally customized every category, adding my own particular items, and have added a host of personalized categories. I love all the different sort options. I have several annual trips and I like that I can duplicate a past trip’s list without losing the old one. Going through old lists is like memory lane.

    I also appreciate that I can uncheck everything and tick off everything again as I repack in my hotel room or cruise ship cabin. I can also make notes on the fly, and can indicate if I didn’t need a particular item and can, on my next trip, decide if it’s really worth bringing.

    My husband tried it out and immediately deemed it “too fussy” but I say it’s awesome. If you’re a Type-A control freak like me you’ll love this app like I do.
