Leave a Review Pack The Bag
What Happened?
I don't know what happened to this app since the last time I used it, but it is now close to useless. I've built packing lists for trips we take regularly. I used to be able to clear the check marks, but now there doesn't seem to be a way to do this. I loved this app, but they have severely diminished its functionality.Show lessNanchester

You can still do that by tapping the action button in the bottom right corner in packing mode and selecting "unpack all".Good app
I deleted the app as it no longer worked but am happy to report it has been updated and is even better than ever. Much easier to switch between planning and packing than it was. Thank you!Loveradio

Hi, the app was updated a few months ago, it should work again without issues.Ads.
The app seemed to work reasonably well, but the pop-up ads were just too much for me. I don't need to be distracted in the middle of my flow of thought while packing- I'll just go back to paper if I have to! I'll find something I can pay for that doesn't have ads.lasagnalover
Fantastic free app!
The free features and ease of use on this packing list app surpasses any other free packing app that I've tried. It is just superb. Highly recommend!K & H Licht
Old version better
I've been using this app for years. Just tried the new version...awful. When I start a trip, I like to reset everything as 'not packed'. There's no way to do that now. Now I have to manually uncheck every item. Needs a button to do that, like before.
The other thing...previously when you marked an item as packed, it moved off to the Packed tab, so all you had left was the Unpacked. Made it easier to see what was remaining. Now I'm constantly re-read the entire list every time I add something to a bag.
The app should make things easier, not more tedious. Without those features, I might as well get out the old pen and paper. Probably won't use anymore.Show lessTkdgal08
After update
I used to love this app until I updated it this evening. Now I can only feel disappointed that I updated. It said new features, but absolutely ruined this very artful app. It took all the attractiveness out and made it look like some generic list. It had the nicest art work, and now looks like cheap clip art. I will delete and see if I can find something nice. It reminds me too much of the apple update that got rid of the nice art ( like the French sunflowers for photos) and replaced with ugly looking clip art. I hate when an app changes to unrecognizable with an update. I previously rated this app 5 star. Now I wish I could give less than one star. They really ruined it.Show lessConstantuse
Easiest, most flexible, Period. A++!
I wish I had iOS8 to get the pro version. If you have ever used a list to pack, this is the ONLY app that lets you set stuff up like you think. All the others have a learning curve and are hard to add your own items. Great initial list of items with the familiar slider to add / include in your list. I tried about 14 before this own and deleted all the others.Show lessBehomebased
Finally-A Good Packing List App!
I have looked for years for a Great Trip Packing App, and I have finally found one that is at least 95% of GREAT!
How long have I looked? Since I used a Palm Pilot.
All of these apps are simple databases, so what distinguishes them is their user interface. Pack The Bag has the best UI I have run into yet.
It starts with A bunch of categories, each of which already contains many items. When you start a trip, all of them are turned off, so you scroll through the list turning on items you want to pack.
But then the UI makes it easy to add new categories AND new items to every category that you want to pack, and you can delete categories and items you have mo need for.
Need a lot of items? There is a "Pack All" button, as well as a "Click All Off" button, which many competitors lack It's also great to zero out the DB after a trip.
I have it 4 stars because it could be easier to add items & categories, but otherwise it's a great interface and App. 4.5 stars really!Show lessCameraman55
Great app
This app works really well. I can add & delete categories. I set up a new category for my spouses clothes and was able to duplicate the clothes list deleting anything that did not relate to my spouse. I could add and delete all items I needed to as well as move an item from one category to another. The only problem I found was that one item would not move from one category to another after I hit done to go to the checkbox list.Show lesskdanti
What a great little app!!!!!
I love it! I am a mother of four and packing for vacation, road trips and even grandma and grandpa's house for the day can be extremely frustrating. I always have that feeling in the pit of my stomach that I have forgotten something...and I usually have. Not anymore! This app has proved to be very effective and thorough. I no longer have to worry about getting someplace and not having what I need. Problem solved!Show lessBalderdan1
