CREATE YOUR OWN PERSONAL TOOLBOX: - Define standard modules for things that you need again and again (such as the standard equipment for your rucksack for your hiking trips) so that you don't have to enter everything again each time. - Selectable icons and colours also make it easier for you to manage the standard modules. - Make packing easier by specifying the location of your items. BUILD YOUR OWN PERSONALISED CHECKLIST: - Use an old checklist or create a new one. - Add standard modules or remove them from the checklist simply by drag & drop. - Add individual points to the checklist. - For a better overview, hide individual items in a standard module that you don't need this time. - With drag & drop, you can easily activate lists in the checklist overview or set unnecessary lists to inactive. - Selectable icons and colours next to the name also make it easier for you to keep track of the checklists. KEEP AN OVERVIEW: - Simply tick off the completed items. - Simply adjust your checklist by adding another standard module or individual items if you think of anything else. - Use the filter function to focus on the essentials. - By simply resetting all the items on the checklist, you can use the checklist to pack again before your return journey so that you don't forget to pack anything. INVOLVE YOUR FRIENDS OR FAMILY: - Share your actual packing list as pdf with your friends or family - If you save your checklists in iCloud or on your Dropbox, you can share them with your friends or family so that they can also edit them. - Specify who should take care of an entire module or an individual item. - You can then use the filter function to display only the items for which you are responsible. ADVERTISING: - You will see adverts in the free version. - If you don't want this, you can buy the upgrade to the ad-free version in the app settings.
