Pack The Bag

Really useful

I liked the app. The user can create own categories and items in them for sure. I entered such ones as Moto and Photo, as well as Hardware (-: It's also nice that the app shows the number of days left before the trip. I know it is useless in rational aplication, but emotionally it is a bit of a pleasure (-: I did not put 5 stars to the app due to two points: - it took time to understand how the adjustment worked; and - the app does not show the number of items one plans to take on a trip Hopefully this will change with the new edition. Good luck (-: and have a nice trip...

I don’t need categories, just a plain item list. So I deleted all categories and tried to create a new item. No way, app refused to do it, “Create” is simply grayed out. Unfortunately, old good TripList is not supported anymore, apparently it’s developer opened a startup and went public. Good for him but not for his abandoned users.

I’ve been using this app for years. It makes packing simple with no stress.

Sometimes it is just hard to remember everything when you are leaving in a trip. This app takes the stress out of packing to travel and worrying you are going to forget something important. I love that it is fully customizable, letting me create new lists, new categories and new items. I also love the icons that help me at a glance know if I might have a similar trip already ready to go without creating a new one. The copy feature is terrific if I am planning a similar trip but don’t want to forever change the original one I created. Just love it. Thank you for creating this awesome travel tool!

Extremely useful for guiding and focusing for travel.

This app fulfills all of my needs and then some. The Inventory feature is what makes this app usable and reusable for all of your future lists. As a suggestion for improvement, maybe you want to consider adding an optional "time to pack" field along with total time for each pack list. That way, the user will know how much time to set aside to pack for each trip. I often include preparation tasks before my trips like setting the sprinkler schedule, getting a haircut, emptying the litterbox, and filling our automatic cat feeder. Thanks

Updated review: This a fantastic app for packing, the best I've found. Particularly like the storage location feature so I don't forget anything at my office, for example, and have to go back for it. Item count is particularly useful. When I repeat a trip I edit the counts & neither run out of anything or over pack. I also use the app in reverse to repack before I go home so nothing is left behind. The best packing list just got even better with several new features including the requested confirmation dialogue before being able to delete an entire list.

This does not have the replanned list of items for you to check off. I like having the pre-made list then I don’t have to think about it. Trying to create categories and then input what I need to take is way more work than I want to do. Unless you have tome to sit and create your categories and then your list I wouldn’t bother. I’m deleting this app from my phone.

Running latest version and Pack Mode won’t display items to be packed when selecting any of the Categories in the Pack List. Currently useless.
