Review summary

PackMate is a customizable and user-friendly travel packing list app praised for its flexibility, cloud sync, and helpful features like weather forecasts. However, common issues include bugs causing accidental data loss, lack of confirmation on mass selection actions, inability to edit categories/items, and collaboration sync problems. Users desire improvements like checklist copying, better category/item editing, and enhanced sorting options. Overall, it effectively aids packing despite some reliability and usability concerns.

Pros

Highly customizable with the ability to add items, categories, and templates making packing easier.
User-friendly interface and intuitive design compared to other packing apps.
Supports cloud sync and collaboration features for shared packing lists.
Includes useful additional features like weather forecasting to aid travel preparation.
Free version offers most needed functionalities; premium unlocks extra features.

Cons

Critical bugs such as accidental data deletion when pressing buttons, especially the big + button, causing loss of saved items.
Lack of an "undo" or confirmation prompt for bulk actions like 'Check All' leading to user frustration.
Inability to edit or rename categories and items once created, which reduces flexibility.
Collaboration sync issues where changes by one user don't reflect on collaborators' devices.
Missing features such as the ability to copy checklists from previous trips, customize category order, and sort items within categories manually.

2025-01-10	Em*****	Finally found a packing app that does everything I want it to! However, today when I was using it I accidentally clicked "Check All" and had to go through and manually uncheck everything from memory which was not great.. I think there should be an "Are you sure?" before it marks it all off.

2024-12-28	Ju*****	Wanted to love it. App wasy enough to use, but I noticed that items I had saved were getting deleted from my list (not marked as packed, just gone altogether) as I added new categories. Extremely frustrating since if I didn't notice I would've left things behind. Not reliable enough to trust for trip packing at the moment.

2024-12-15	Mo*****	Discovered this app on reddit, where the developer posted about it and gave out some pro codes. I missed out on the codes, but even with just the free version, this app does pretty much everything I need. A couple of minor suggestions I have is the ability to add bags and choose which bag each item you pack is located in. Secondly, a lot of times, when trying to press the + button to increase item quantity, it triggers the checkbox to mark an item as packed.

2024-10-26	An*****	Would love an option of customizing the order of categories, otherwise brilliant app! Makes me life a lot easier packing for 3 people! Love that I can add as many categories as I need and Ai generator is pretty good.

2024-10-25	Ab*****	I would love to be able to go back and edit/rename The categories after I've created them rather than having to start over. It also doesn't save any updates I make when I check items off my list. Edit: Developer made updates that make saving/editing templates more successful. Still only 2 stars after my husband and I both paid for the app separately and, although he was able to add himself as a collaborator, his checked off items aren't syncing with mine. Defeats the purpose of collaborating.
