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 — Great app *2025-12-07, version 13.5* I’ve been using this app for years. It’s easy to use, add to, and back up. Thanks for creating it! ### 3/5 — It’s complicated *2025-09-06, version 13.5* It’s complicated but I keep coming back to for easily ten years. Seems like it shouldn’t be this complicated though. ### 5/5 — Great for RVers *2025-06-17, version 13.5* Both my husband and I love having this app. We RV quite a bit and the lists both of are able to create greatly reduces our stress when getting ready for a trip. Since we take essentially the same things on each trip, it’s an easy matter to clear the check boxes from the previous trip and start fresh. Wonderful app! ### 5/5 — Can’t live without it *2025-05-27, version 13.5* I’ve started traveling for work and need to create and track my packing list for each trip. Packing Pro is a no brainer - without it my organization would be a lot worse. ### 5/5 — Simple effective packing list app *2025-04-11, version 13.5* I love this app. It’s simple, aesthetically pleasing to look at, & you can easily make a new similar list from a previously used list. I love the alert feature as well so I remember to get ready for my trip ahead of time and the preset categories which usually has about 90% of the things I was going to put in my list anyway, and some ideas that I didn’t think about that I can use. I highly recommend trying it ### 5/5 — My favourite packing and trip prep app *2025-04-08, version 13.5* Really like how customizable it is— can be very detailed or just a quick high level list. The ability to clone from stock templates or from existing packing lists saves a lot of time, and allows for incremental refinement. ### 5/5 — Excellent Tool! *2025-01-18, version 13.5* I have used this app for several years and several overseas trips. I have found it very useful for all the tasks required to ensure my family and I were prepared to travel. It is reassuring to have all the tasks in one place. The flexibility of the tool has helped to make it more useful for creating categories of tasks (work versus home) required for completion before I leave to enjoy our vacation. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Indispensable *2024-12-31, version 13.5* I have used this app for more than 60 trips since 2010. I have a template for domestic trips and one for international ones. It’s so easy to create a new trip from one of the templates and then remove items not needed for that trip. Thank you, Quinn! ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2024-12-22, version 13.5* We have been using this app for a very long time. 10+ years? We have a checklist we use for our trailer when we go camping, another list for when we go on work trips, we use one for ski trips, it makes it super easy to remember everything you need and reuse your list. I have one for a shopping list for spring gardening. It is especially good for repetitive activities!!! You can fine tune it as you need. I also can send a copy to my nephew when he gets to go with us. ### 5/5 — Far less stress *2024-12-15, version 13.5* I always use this app before, during and after each trip I make and it has saved me from many disasters and makes the packing process so less stressful. I simply copy a similar past trip (eg local, interstate, overseas & season) and start updating. Saves me heaps of time, money and travel anxiety. My wife is even now an avid user of this app. ### 5/5 — I would hate to travel without it *2024-10-02, version 13.5* I have been using Packing Pro since 2015 and find it to be very useful, though I do have to hack it quite a bit to fit my needs. I am a solo traveler, so I use the “person” to indicate each piece of luggage I carry and the “bags” to indicate each numbered packing cube or subdivision of a bag, i.e. “outside pouch.” I guess one of the strangest things I do is use a “person” for my Scotevest, and use the “bag” for each pocket of the vest. I can tell you that doing digital pre-packing has been a lifesaver. I weigh all my items in grams, so when the app totals up everything, it is very accurate. I feel much more relaxed when approaching a regional European flight with strict carryon limits. It also makes packing up as I leave each location stress free, since I never leave anything behind, as I check off each thing as it is packed up again. ### 4/5 — I like this app, but it got abandoned :( *2024-10-02, version 13.5* Hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. ### 5/5 — Super App *2024-08-20, version 13.5* Unfortunately it has disappeared from my iPhone and now wants payment again to download. Not sure why as it’s backed up to the cloud and I’ve only ever had the one account. I absolutely love this app. It makes such a difference to getting organised for trips and ensuring I get everything done appropriately for every type of trip. It syncs well between my phone and iPad. Adding items is a little tricky but I think that is just about getting used to it. ### 5/5 — Excelente productop *2024-08-08, version 13.5* Excelente aplicacion. Lo compre hace un buen tiempo, y las actualizaciones han mejorado lo que ofrece la aplicacion. La recomiento totalmente ### 5/5 — Indispensable!! *2024-08-03, version 13.5* I've been writing mobile software for eight years. This is one of the most useful and we'll crafted I've seen. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Indispensable app *2024-07-25, version 13.5* I have been using this app for years. Some lists I have: car travel, plane travel, motorcycle travel, shooting range, crabbing, sporting events… One of the best things that this app lets me do… if I think of something new while I’m traveling I just add it. I never forget this item again. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too complicated and confusing *2025-09-06, version 13.5* I want my money back ### 1/5 — Unintuitive and a visual mess *2024-07-11, version 13.5* Deleted - couldn’t get past the awful fonts and colours. And you need a user manual to understand how to use this. Wish I could get my money back. ### 1/5 — Painful to use *2024-01-20, version 13.5* You go around in circles trying to figure this thing out….I wasted enough time….I will find something user friendly ### 1/5 — No response on feedback *2023-09-29, version 13.5* Reported a bug on the app however NO response. Issue was the attached photo to a particular item was showing as “?”. It will appear when the item was clicked. However it will show “?” again. So, reported this bug, however no response. Very disappointed with the support!! ### 1/5 — App would be great but…. *2023-04-26, version 13.5* I was very excited when I saw this app. Then I realized there is no way to collaborate with another person. You can export but I need real-time collaboration and sharing of items. Very bummed, would pay two or three times as much for an app like this that had better sharing functionality. ### 1/5 — Useful. Ugly. Arrogant? *2022-11-11, version 13.5* This app can be useful, but it’s aesthetically challenged to the point of distraction. What’s worse, the developer has been completely unresponsive to polite suggestions on how it could easily be improved. Example (one among many): A million years ago, it seems, it was pointed out that the home-brewed color-picker the app uses is effectively useless, and that incorporating one that conforms to Apple’s design guidelines would be a huge improvement. The developer gave some lame excuse about being too busy, and that besides, arrogantly, that the picker in the app was fine. It wasn’t, and still isn’t. It’s a clumsy mess. People do get busy, but that was many years ago, and pre-pandemic, by far: there’s been plenty of time to just look up the guidelines and make a simple refinement. Looking at the app today, I see it’s the same as it was when it was first released. No effort. Embarrassing. ### 1/5 — Junk now *2022-11-09, version 13.5* The last update made this a blank app with nothing but errors ### 1/5 — Too complicated, useless user interface... *2019-01-27, version 13.0* I gave this a good shot after buying it, but ultimately got a refund. It's just far too complicated, too cluttered and too frustrating to use. It's also far too Americanised (pants instead of trousers for example) for us European users. It has the basis of a good app but needs to be simplified (take a look at PACK THIS for inspiration) and decluttered. ### 1/5 — Understand why no trial version *2018-02-14, version 12.4* It’s horrible. Complete waste of money. Definitely not intuitive. Tried to figure it out from the support site. The most understandable feature was how to leave them more money. Don’t bother. ### 1/5 — What's it supposed to do? *2016-07-08, version 12.0* I made a packing list easily enough but now I can't view it again. What's the point? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-08-07, version 13.5* I love this app. I’ve used it for years to pack for every trip. 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”. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Perfection *2026-03-03, version 13.5* Been using this for years! Love it so much just referred a couple friends to it! ### 5/5 — My travel essential *2026-01-17, version 13.5* Love this app. Been using it for years. It’s simple yet smart enough to have the features I want. I am often trying to hit tight weight limits when I travel, so having the weights of my items in my database is invaluable. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
