Description unclear about what’s included in premium
This app is easy to use and visually appealing. I would give it 5 stars - except for what seems like “bait and switch” to me. The reason for my dissatisfaction is that the description does not identify what features are premium only and what are included in the free version. I have no objection to a free for premium features. However, the vast majority of apps I’ve looked into are quite clear about their premium features. In fact, they use it as a selling point. These guys did not. The only mention is in the In App Purchases part, and it names a few keywords. Specifically, I was looking for an app to sync across devices. It sounds really simple, great! But all I see is “iCloud” in the keywords list.
It’s deceptive. And served to waste my time and destroy any goodwill the product engendered. I might well have liked the app enough to pay for it. Or I might have decided to keep looking, no hard feelings. Instead, I’m writing this negative review immediately before deleting the app. So thanks anyway.

Response from developer
Thank you for your honest feedback! I'm sorry for the frustration and confusion regarding the premium features. That was never my intention. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention, and I'll review and update the App Store description to make the differences between free and premium features clearer. If you have any questions about what's included in the premium version, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at diego@findappiness.co. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience. Your feedback helps me improve the app!
L’indispensable préparateur de vacances et voyages
Très pratique pour ne rien oublier, je conseille vivement et logiciel qui fonctionne à merveille.
Truly Helpful Travel App
The difference between my travel preparedness before this app, and after, is day and night. It never failed, I would get to my destination and realize I had forgotten something. With this app I haven’t forgotten anything since I started using it. I’ve made seasonal Packing List to help me remember the things I need to pack for cold trips, transitional weather trips, and warmer trips. It’s been a great tool! I also have packing lists separated by kits that I bring in my personal item bag. This has also been incredibly useful. with this app, I’m prepared for anything a vacation or work trip throws at me.

Amazing Customer Support
I was distraught when my long time packing app was no longer supported. I did my research and decided to go with this app, Packing List Checklist. It was important to me to be able to import some of my lists from the old app. When I ran into a roadblock, I emailed the developer. Within the hour (maybe less) he responded and guided me thru the steps. He was awesome!!!! It’s hard to find this great of customer support and I really appreciated it. And the app, I’ve already used it for 2 trips in 2 weeks and I love it! Thank you Diego!!

Great list app
I use this app all the time for outdoor sports like hunting, camping, canoeing. Things I don’t do often enough to remember all the stuff I need to bring and do before a trip. Works great.
Perfekte Packlisten App
Einfache Bedienung. Nutzung der App ohne persönliche Daten.
Liste kann geteilt werden 💃🕺
Import von CSV Dateien funktioniert. CSV auf dem Laptop bearbeiten und dann per email senden. CSV kann direkt mit der App geöffnet werden. 🤙
Endlich kann ich meine Apple Packlisten "umziehen"

Good
I think the app is good and you can make nice packing lists but it is a little busy and confusing and a lot of features are restricted if you don’t have premium but in the end without premium, you can still make really nice lists
No help
App has no help section. Help selection is nonfunctional. It just opens a draft help email. I did that. Days later there has been no answer. Time to get Apple to refund the purchase.
Some normal features need explanations and “how to”.
I created two lists but they disappeared immediately and could not be retrieved.
Save your money. Go elsewhere.

Assist
Why use AssistiveTouch when card payments or Apple Pay are easier ?
Needs A Lot Of Work
This app is very basic and just not work the money that I paid. I upgraded hoping that a paid version would be better but it isn’t. The app does not have any instructions, FAQ section or help other than sending someone an email and hoping that it gets answered. I created a list and there is not way to change the name of it to identify it.

Nice and simple
This app is so simple to use. I’ve used packing lists that I created in Word tables for years, for business and leisure. I have different lists for different types of trips. This app saves me from printing out my list and checking things off with a pen. Then adding all kinds of notes for reminders. With the app, I just use my phone to check things off, add things as I go, and delete things I don’t need. I just entered all my items by categories - and it feels the same as when I printed it out. I feel confident that I packed everything I need. And the reminder checklist of leaving the house stuff is there too. This is a very simple, easy to use app for packing!

So EASY to use
This app makes packing a breeze
Updated review: developer responded promptly with accountablity
Original concern was heavy third-party tracking disclosed in the iubenda privacy policy. Developer responded directly confirming the policy was outdated boilerplate and the actual stack is limited to Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config, and iCloud sync. Has committed to updating both the privacy policy and App Store labels to reflect reality.
Raising to 3 stars on the basis of the response and the clarified actual stack. Will revisit once the updated policy and labels are published. The app itself is solid after 9 years of development, iCloud sync works well, and the new CSV export is very useful.

Response from developer
The privacy policy is updated -> https://packingli.st/privacy Thank you for the detailed feedback. You're right to flag this. The iubenda privacy policy is outdated boilerplate that was never properly updated. Meta Pixel, Google Ads, Intercom, and Fabric Answers are not integrated in the app. We're updating the policy and App Store privacy labels to accurately reflect what we actually use: Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config, and iCloud sync. We appreciate your patience while we get this corrected.
Heavy third-party tracking not reflected in App Store labels
The app works well and the iCloud sync is reliable. My issue is with what is not disclosed clearly.
The UK App Store privacy label shows only “Data Not Linked to You: Identifiers, Usage Data, Diagnostics.” The iubenda privacy policy discloses a different picture: Meta Pixel conversion tracking, Google Ads conversion tracking, Google Analytics with cross-device User ID extension, Intercom with email collection and user profiling, Firebase Remote Config for A/B testing, and Crashlytics collecting geographic position. Data is processed in the United States across multiple Meta and Google services.
The policy also references Universal Analytics (sunset by Google in July 2023) and Fabric Answers (deprecated in 2020). Either the SDK stack is out of date or the policy is stale. Neither is reassuring.
For a paid packing list app at £9.99 per year, this is a heavier ad-tech stack than free competitors. I would expect either a thinner analytics footprint or clearer disclosure in the App Store labels.
Will reconsider the rating if the label accurately reflects the Meta Pixel and Intercom integrations, or if the ad-tech stack is reduced.

PACK App
I couldn’t travel without it. Can edit to add other things to it or delete never used items from it. Check it off to pack, clear, check it off to come home. Excellent!
Very Helpful App
I’ve come to enjoy packing since I found this app!!
Great app
I’ve used this for years and I find it very helpful to organise my trips with such an effective design.
