I use this for every trip and even ideas for trips I might take! The pro version is worth every penny to be able to separate by family members! Couldn’t travel without it!!
Ten Thumbs Up

I'm long overdue writing a review for this app; I owe it to the developers. I can't remember what year I started using it but it was before the name changed, and I think it was on my iPhone 3GS! This app is simply a part of my travel routine, every trip, every time. An example of its utility: I take a kayaking trip every summer to the same cabin. This app takes care of every trivial question. ("Is this the place that doesn't provide paper towels—or is it dish soap?") Now I don't have to strain a single brain cell. A week before leaving I open the app and it's all there: I know to pack an extension cord for the second bedroom because the outlet is too far from the bed. We need 6 large, 8 medium and 4 small bungees for the kayaks. The coffee pot uses size-2 basket-style coffee filters. You get the drift. Organized and stress-free! I admit that I'd be screwed if I ever lost my lists but that, thankfully, has never happened to me. I do try to remember to back up my important lists from time to time. An A-plus app, invaluable. Ten thumbs up!
Just another well satisfied customer

Really amazing product which takes drudgery out of packing and almost even makes it enjoyable. App is well organized and easy to use. Use their lists or create your own. The next time you use it you can easily create a new list with your last list and save lots of time. If you are a checklist person, this is the app for you.
Works Like A Charm for 2+ Years

I give it 4 stars instead of 5 only because of the initial learning curve. I have used this for several years and travel every couple months on business and pleasure in and out of US including cruises. This ap reminds me of things to pack for international travel which is especially a big help. I depend on this ap totally even when going away for the weekend. Can not imagine using a paper list again. I recently looked at pro list and would gladly pay $3 for it but since my kids are grown and I just pack for me and my pup, I really don't think I need the few added features. "Pro" looks like it would be great for Moms with kids or even a wife who packs for spouse. Thanks for relieving the dreaded burden of remembering what to pack for varied type trips. I love it! D.C.

Great Packing App

I have used this app for several years--since the first iPhone came out in 2006? 2007? I am a list maker so to have this app available adds so much flexibility and saves paper. The app has gone through a few upgrades, some better than others. The current version seems to have worked out the major bugs and improved user friendliness. I'm off to Spain.
There has to be a better way!

This is not an application for those who don't want their shoes to be classified as accessories (really???) or who wants to pack by outfit. If you are the kind of person who needs an app to pack 3 pairs of long pants (from the family of colorless featureless long pants that all look the same), then it may be for you. I want my lists to be defined precisely, and this app takes FOREVER. Added. Yes, I figured out how to create my own customized list of items, and even put them into outfits. The best about this app is that allows you to create new lists using old lists as a base, and it syncs across your iOS devices. The color scheme is pretty bad, though.
Three years strong

Heading into my third vacation season using this app and haven't forgotten anything yet as a result! Money well spent.
Very Helpful

Always been a list maker for trips but this kicks it up quite a few notches. It's fun to work on and keeps me occupied during the countdown to departure time.
