  • Pretty good app

    I've used this app for a dozen or more trips and found it to be pretty good. I find it works best when you are doing the same kind of travel over and over - It is cumbersome to get your lists in order, but once you have input the array of things you usually take, it is very easy to adjust it for an individual trip. I you are going skiing this weekend and surfing next month and travelling to India after that, it's probably not the app for you. We travel out of town with a small child at least once a month, and it works really well for us. In 13 trips this year, I have very rarely been without something I needed.

    One great advantage of using this app is actually when we are packing to go home. When your initial pack list is comprehensive, you can just use it again to re-pack. I hardly ever leave anything behind now.

  • Love it!

    Love having the ability to edit and customize it to exactly what my family needs...my clothes, husband's clothes, kid's clothes, etc. It did take a bit of getting used to in order to do that, but it was worth it! It has absolutely taken a load off of my mind and simplified the process, especially with the ability to re-use lists for similar future trips. Love it!

  • GREAT App!

    I looked at a bunch of packing lists a while back, and stuck with this one. The more I use it, the more I like it. It's really convenient not only for vacations or business trips, but also for day trips and overnights, especially if you have kids and need to stay organized.

    You can easily customize your own categories, add items and move them around to organize how you pack. You can then create lists, choose which items from the categories you want on the specific list, and once you've built your list, it checks off items as you pack.

    The user interface is really simply to learn and use. It has some nice usability features like copy lists, create a new category by copying another category, etc. I like the ability to email a list and reminders as well. I haven't used the dropbox support yet, but I plan to.

    I would highly recommend this app for anyone who travels, frequently or infrequently.

  • Great app!

    I love this packing app. It starts with a detailed categorized list of things people might need for travel, especially including items that I might not have thought of until I needed them. You just choose what what you want. It lets you add your own categories and items, and specify quantities. Then it helps you keep track of how much is packed. This is exactly what I was looking for to help me get ready for any trip. Thank you!

  • Nice Travel Helper

    Now that I'm doing more traveling to various destinations for various purposes it's great to have an app that makes keeping my packing lists organized and at hand. This one is very intuitive and easy, yet I can add everything and anything to a list. I am even setting my opening and closing instructions for the family cottage with this. How great is that!?

  • Pack The Bag

    Unfortunately you can't open the app in any of the suggested app within the app. Too bad.

    How do you print your list out. I've transferred and imported the list but it can't be opened so that I can print it out. It would be helpful if the app had print capabilities. Otherwise…

    Great App and you can add additional items that you don't want to forget. This is my second year packing by this list. Try it out for size. You can send your list via email when you select all the list will appear in the email and you can print. But it doesn't look neat and prints too many pages.

  • I love the app but it has its quirks

    What I like: I now use it all the time when I travel, but it took a while to get used to it. I can add or eliminate things. It's simple, clean looking. I can email the list or print it. Especially, I had a question and I sent an email which got a very quick reply. So good customer service. For me that's very important.
    What I don't like: it has these mysterious numbers next to the article. I was told what it was but I forgot, I think they are useless. It takes too many clicks to customize it.
    I will try to come back with suggestions for improvement.

  • Great app!

    This app has a very detailed list to help you get started, but allows editing so that you can customize your lists. It took me a bit to figure out how to edit everything, but once I did, it was perfect. The developer may want to add a simple "how-to" because most things that reviewers wish this app did, it already does!

  • This app is great!

    I love this app. It is awesome. I am a list maker with travel and have lists on word docs, but this app makes that so much better! You can specialize the items on a packing list and type in your own ones. Took me some time to get my lists down like I wanted them, but now it is great!! If you are particular about list making for trips, you will love this. I think even if you don't care so much about the specifics but would like a guideline for packing, that this would help you out a lot! Love it; never going to ditch it!

  • Perfect

    I tried a bunch of other apps paid/ free. Deleted them all when I found this one. Love this app. This is the best packing list I have seen. It has a good set of categories pre built, and allows you to hide the items you will never need ( ie ciggarettes), and add your own items and categories. I used it to plan a 2 week trip to Hawaii and was able to sleep the night before knowing that I wasn't forgetting anything. The free version does have small ads at bottom, but they are not in the way. I bought the paid app, was worth it support development of more enhancements. Only wish- ability to permanently delete un-needed item/categories.
    Each enhancement keeps getting better.
