"All in all, this is exactly what I needed for traveling, and if you travel a lot, something like this is essential." - The Common Ryan Packing List Checklist is an easy to use app that provides you with a checklist of all the important things to consider and pack before traveling. ——— SHARE & COLLABORATE ON YOUR LISTS (Premium feature) ——— Travel just got smarter and more social. Share your travel lists with family, roommates, or friends, and pack together in real time! ——— PICK SUGGESTED ITEMS ——— Get up and running with very little effort by using our Pick Suggested Items feature. You will be able to pick items from these categories: Essentials, Accessories, Baby, Backpack / Carry On, Beach, Camping, Clothing, Electronics, Food, Healthcare, Makeup, Shoes, Toiletries and many more! That's it: your list will be ready without any typing involved! ——— SYNC YOUR LISTS (Premium feature) ——— Created your list on your iPad but want to check it on your iPhone? Got a new iOS device and want to see your lists there? With iCloud sync we've got you covered: your lists will be with you on all your iOS devices as long as you are using the same Apple ID in them. ——— SET REMINDERS (Premium feature) ——— Want to make sure that you are not leaving anything behind? Just set up a reminder, get a notification at the right time and relax! ——— MANAGE ITEM QUANTITIES (Premium feature) ——— Set the quantities for your Packing List items. ——— EDIT THE SUGGESTED ITEMS (Premium feature) ——— Make the suggestions yours: rename, add or remove items in the suggested-items templates, and every new list will start from your own version. ——— APPLE WATCH APP (Premium feature) ——— Check off items right from your wrist. Your lists stay in sync with your iPhone through iCloud. ——— EXPORT YOUR LISTS (Premium feature) ——— Export any list as a .tpl file to back it up or send it to a friend, or as a .csv file to open it in a spreadsheet. Anyone can import a .tpl list, even without Premium. ——— PRO LIST TOOLS (Premium feature) ——— Sort items alphabetically, select all suggested items at once, duplicate or merge categories, and uncheck every item with one tap to reuse a list. ——— TO DO & TO PACK ——— After a lot of research we reached the conclusion that the best way to go through your travel preparation is to distinguish the actions that you need to take before and during travel from the things that you need to pack. That’s why each list has two sections: To-Do & To Pack. ——— CREATE YOUR OWN CATEGORIES ——— Organize your items by grouping them into different categories. You will be able to create as many categories as you need, and you can pick an emoji to better differentiate them. ——— REUSE YOUR EXISTING LISTS ——— This is one of the best kept secrets of every seasoned traveller. Keep refining your list, and reach sorcerer-level packing skills. You’ll soon forget why you ever packed for your travels differently in the past! ——— TERMS & PRIVACY ——— Terms of use (https://packingli.st/terms) Privacy & Policy (https://packingli.st/privacy) EULA (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/) ——— QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK? ——— We love hearing from you and we read every single email you send us!
