Packing List* holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Pocket Gnome's written reviews are positive against 50% of Packing List*'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
