Keeps me from forgetting something I need. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-01, version 13.5* I’ve used this app for a decade. It’s simple and straightforward - I use it for packing and to validate that I’ve remembered everything when returning home. The best part is the fact that I’ve been able to refine it over multiple trips across years. Every “I should have brought that” or “we didn’t really use this” gets actioned the next time. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-07-27, version 13.5* I’ve had this app for quite a few years and LOVE it very much. Every time we travel I pull it out to plan what to take and I can carry it around with me to grab what I need. No paper to lose! As we get older the memory goes a bit so this has been great. My kid now have a copy and they love it, too. Highly recommend this app for any traveler. Thanks so much for this app.💜 ### 5/5 — Frequent traveler relies on this app *2026-07-22, version 13.5* I travel several times per year and this app is an essential part of my planning & preparation process. With it, I've made dozens of lists over the years and because of that, i have never forgotten anything needed on a trip. It's great because it offers quick organization that you can expand into more detailed organization, if you choose. I've also emailed the dev a few and have found them to be responsive, informative, & immensely helpful. Overall, one of my top apps! ——- 2026-07 update: This app seems to be abandoned by the dev, but it’s still the best around! I’ve tried to replace it and nothing comes close. Quinn, if you’re reading this, please don’t give up on this app - you created something truly amazing!! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-07-11, version 13.5* Been using it for years and it’s been completely reliable. I have a master list with subsections I can toggle for different sorts of travel (business, camping , etc) Appreciate lots of convenient options like specifying quantity and whether I need to buy the item. App also allows for fast entry without needing to specify anything. In addition to items I also keep my pre-travel checklists in here. ### 5/5 — Many incredible uses *2026-06-24, version 13.5* Very simple, yet powerful. I use this for lots of different things: short trips, international trips, band gigs, and everything in between. I can synchronize with all of my iOS devices: iPhone & iPad. Great filters such as by “person” or “bags”. ### 2/5 — Not Bad *2026-05-03, version 13.5* The app does not provide a way to either cancel a request to delete an item from a list or recall it. As is, if you accidentally an item it is gone and there is now way to get it back unless you type it in and that is if you are lucky enough to know which item you deleted. While planning a future trip that has happened to me five times and is very aggravating as well as a problem. I contacted the developer about two weeks ago regarding a different issue and I have yet to hear back from them. If I don’t get a response to this review I will downgrade the rating to one star. ### 3/5 — Not Bad *2026-04-22, version 13.5* I have had this app for about five years but this is the first time really using it. The app has an extensive database of items however, I found it easier to delete their lists and create my own than to try and edit their lists because there are many things that would never apply and I would have to delete those items from the list each use. One thing that is missing that I think is essential is the ability to add due dates to items in the To-do list with the app sending notifications with an item is due. Without that you really need to use the Reminders app on the phone to track your to-do lists. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-04-19, version 13.5* Does what it sets out to do. Simple. Works perfectly. ### 5/5 — Essential for My Travel *2026-04-15, version 13.5* This app is so helpful to me. I travel for work a lot, and these days if I take a trip that’s more than one night, I can’t do without this app. It’s pretty user-friendly, though it could use a couple of tweaks. But I really appreciate how you can edit lists to really make them your own and add things that are specific to you. ## Frequently asked questions about Packing Pro ### What does Packing Pro do?
