## What is Moving Van?

Moving Van allows you to easily identify the contents of every box you pack when moving house, using house movers, relocating or putting items into storage.  

As each box is packed, use this app to detail the contents, take photos of the items in the box, and assign each box with a unique name or number.  If moving house, the room that the contents belong in can also be assigned.  This will speed unloading and unpacking.

We all know that unpacking after moving house can be a long, slow process.  With Moving Van, if you need to find a specific item which is still not unpacked, you can simply search for that item and immediately identify the box you need to look in.  Similarly, if you need to quickly remind yourself what is in each box, you can quickly view each box's content.  This feature is important when putting boxes in long term storage, and can even be useful for insurance purposes with data export in four different formats.  

Moving Van will take at least some of the hassle of your next house move away!

## Key features

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2024-06-03*

Recommended by my movers, this allowed me to easily track both boxes and important items in boxes, during a highly stressful move.

### 3/5 — Camera crashes

*2024-04-07*

I can’t use camera direct from app as it crashes. It would be much easier if I could

### 4/5 — Good app for moving

*2023-04-14*

Good app

### 5/5 — Great for knowing inventory

*2022-07-31, version 1.2.4*

I have used for 2 moves now, I like that I can write exactly what is in a box and take a picture.  Then I can search for items later and know what box they are in.

### 5/5 — Brilliant for storage

*2020-09-26*

Unlike other moving apps, where you have to say where you’re going, what rooms things are in and just endless questions, I just wanted an app to record what I’ve got in boxes going into storage. Simple to add and label and search for items, so I can quickly remember what I’ve got in storage and what box it’s in.

### 1/5 — Moving Van pls fix

*2019-04-20*

Paid for it. Really need it. Continuously crashes but I put up with it. Until I reach box 0113 and I can’t add any more boxes???!  PLEASE FIX IT.

### 1/5 — Camera doesn’t work

*2019-03-02, version 1.2.4*

I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times.  When I use the app to take a photo, the screen is black and takes black photos. My normal camera works just fine.

### 5/5 — Super awesome for the OCD type

*2018-12-01, version 1.2.4*

I love the simplicity and ease of using this app for moving & inventory purposes. I used it back in 2013 to move across the country, store everything for a year, then unpack in my new home. We’re planning an upcoming move and I want to use this again. I’m sad they don’t keep it updated anymore. I can’t find another app like it.

### 2/5 — Good potential, crashes all the time

*2018-08-20, version 1.2.4*

This app has a lot of potential, but suffers from the lack of a multi-select option. Once boxes are packed, the “in transit” status usually applies to EVERYTHING.. who moves one box at a time? Sharing across devices would have helped, since households have multiple people. And sorting/filtering by status, not just rooms would be really useful. 

And the app kept crashing on me in the middle of entering things, making it nearly unusable. 

I found it useful for getting and staying organized early in the packing process, but abandoned it when moving day came. Was pretty much worthless for UNpacking, because there was too much to do.

### 3/5 — Useful but crashes constantly

*2018-07-21*

The features are really useful for keeping track of everything while packing, moving and unpacking, but the app crashes all the time which makes it really frustrating to use.
