Used to be great, now it doesn't work
The Wag
I used to love this app. I used it for several trips. Lots of great features. It synced between devices so my packing lists were up to date. Then something went wrong. My iCloud data somehow became unreadable. The synching process never stopped. No matter what I did I couldn't get my customized lists back. Tech support wasn't very helpful. If my in-app purchases could transfer to the pro app then I might consider buying that, but I no longer trust this developer. Now if I want to use this app I have to start over, which I did and iCloud still doesn't work.
Obviously made by people who travel alone

You can quickly put in information for a simple list, but it becomes onerous to put in more detailed data. For instance, you can assign which bag it goes in, or which person it belongs to, but doing so requires a rather clumsy second and even third edit screen. (Use of a simple pull down would eliminate the third screen.) while you can filter by person or bag, you can't sort by either of those (or better, nested by those). And unless you consider all your clothes equal, the inability to easily specify things like which color of pants you intend to pack severely limits the ability to use it as a planning tool. So, difficult to use for more than one person, or someone who is particular about their about their wardrobe. Some simple feature adds could make this really usable.
Great App!

This app is pretty flexible and has a lot of great features. I like the way it can expand or collapse categories, to reduce the amount of scrolling needed.
Hard for family

I think I would have liked this app if I was packing for just me but it's clumsy and frustrating for packing for a family if you want to easily see that you need to pack, say, jeans for example for multiple family members.
GREAT App!!!

Downloaded app after seeing it advertised on Eagle Creek’s website. Started off with the $0.99 version then found that I needed to upgrade to use some features, so I upgraded to the top tier and love the functionality of this app. My learning curve took a while but I finally figured out how to navigate, set up Types and Items from scratch. Set up custom lists for different types of trips that I will assign dates as soon as I know when I’ll be traveling. Way too many features to list in this review. Had one error message and relayed it to the developer who is very approachable, personable, and extremely helpful. Awesome tech support and I’ve had no issues with this app. Best part was importing from iPad to iPhone. Worth every penny spent! Thanks, Q!
Love it - would like to see better totals though

I love this app. If you take the time initially to input all your gadgets, micsellaneous items, etc. and tag them with which bag you put them in, (optional - weight), etc. the functionality is brilliant. Super easy to start using - very intuitive, and absolutely great for remembering everything you generally want to pack. I have my own list that I used to keep in a flat text file, this is a great improvement over that - however, I can't say that I've used much of the functionality of the built-in lists. A great improvement would be for the screen where Totals are shown to display the weight that has been packed already. Unfortunately it only shows the totals of all items you have entered per category/bag, but if I've taken the time to put in the weight of each item that I generally put in my carry-on, and I start packing and check the box for each item I've put in the bag, it would be amazing to get an estimate of how much weight my carry on has accumulated so far. So for example, lets say I haven't started packing yet, the weight should display 0.00kg. Then I put my Jambox in my carry-on, and I check it off the list in this app, the weight should now display about 0.15kg and so on and so forth as I pack more items. I'd love to see the screen where you enter information for each item save by itself (both my girlfriend and myself have this app, and we frequently forget to tap 'save', we just hit the back arrow absentmindedly thinking the information we've put in has saved by itself
Time to take it off my phone

Nice if you use their Master List but trying to customize it is not worth the time. I tried adding 2 new categories for 30 min & no matter how I saved them, I could never find them again!! I had used it several times in the past & never had this much trouble. Guess il just take it off my phone till another trip comes up. :(
