Excellent app. Great support.

I recently switched over my backpacking planning from Lighterpack and haven’t been disappointed. It’s easy to use and has a number of convenient features.

I also was pleasantly surprised by the support provided — I contacted the developer about a bug (and a related missing feature) and he had a new version with fixes for both within a day.

Highly recommend.

This app was built for meticulous planners who want to track every detail down to the last gram.
