Packaroo - Packing Lists

Why can’t I edit (make changes to an individual item) in a list or collection without having to delete it and enter a new item instead of a simple edit?

I don’t review a lot of things, but it’s clear that a lot of thought and work went into this one, and I think they deserve some recognition. I’ve tried a lot of packing apps and all of them have been comparatively rudimentary. It’s a little hard to wrap your mind around Packaroo at first - you have to get used to the idea of “bundles” and “collections” and decide how to make them work for you - but once you have it figured out it’s very flexible and powerful.

The bundle is a great concept, so I purchased an upgrade. However I’m still experiencing lag in the app; even after unchecking a few items, they remain checked when I reopen it, despite force closing the app multiple times. It would be an improvement if we could add pictures to create visual checklists

The concept of the app is good but the implementation needs work fixing bugs and issues. Entering items and making changes is tedious and too many steps. From the beginning I found multiple bugs and issues and gave the developers the information so they could fix them. They did nothing with them and immediately stopped making updates with new versions and that was 6 months ago, so apparently they don’t want to make the effort or are no longer supporting it. Easy example. Item is entered as “Water Thermos” but when you go to edit it later the app automatically changes it to “Water thermos”. Not a major thing unless somewhere you put a brand name. Regardless, it changes it on you. Many more things too numerous to mention. Although I love the *idea* of the app I would recommend looking elsewhere for one that is supported and not as difficult to use with less issues.

Generally a good app, but there are bugs to fix. Disappointed that I bought the upgrade to be able to share with other Packaroo users, but was then told it isn't working.

This app is both powerful and intuitive. Can’t wait to see what the developers come up with next.

I’m the kind of person who tries a zillion different app’s to find the one I like best. After trying a bunch on packing apps, this is the winner for me! There are many packing list apps out there. But I wanted an app that allows me to separate which items go in my purse, my carry-on, and my checked luggage. This app does that, and does it well. I upgraded and am a happy packer!

I’ve been using this app for a year or two now and it’s pretty much perfect. The concepts of bundles and regulars take all the tedium out of planning for a trip. Ski trip? One tap to add all the necessary cold weather clothing. Best of all, I have yet to forget something on any of my trips (a semi-regular occurrence previously). The core features of the app are great, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by recent additions too (trip dates, to do lists). Looking forward to what comes next! Oh, and the support is wonderful (👋 Sue). Have had a few of my suggestions and bug fixes added to the app.

Developer was very open to feedback and immediately addressed issues. Further, they took feedback for future improvement and built into new release. Greatly appreciate the hard work to build a great app!

App is really intuitive and helps organize everything you need to pack for all type of trips. It’s really the best app I’ve tried in this category. If you get a bug, the creators will address it quickly and offer solutions in the meantime so there is no risk to trying this app. The free one gives you an idea of the UI and though you could probably be ok with that version, I found upgrading to be beneficial.
