Review summary

The app is appreciated for its helpful pre-filled packing suggestions, extensive category options, and ease of customization, benefiting users who need structured yet flexible packing help. However, many users find limitations such as inability to duplicate or modify lists, lack of custom item addition, frequent ads without a paid removal option, and some preset category mismatches. Additional features like printing and backup are also desired. Overall, it's considered a good starting point that can become more powerful with improvements.

Pros

Automatically suggests packing items based on trip type, easing packing for users like those with ADHD.
Various categories and types of trips to choose from, including clothes, gadgets, and hygiene.
Highly customizable; users can create and personalize packing lists according to their needs.
Useful for multiple purposes beyond travel, such as general list-making.
Simple and intuitive navigation making it easy to build and manage lists.

Cons

Lacks functionality to copy and modify existing lists; users must create lists from scratch.
Cannot add custom items directly to existing checklists, limiting personalization.
Ads are intrusive, appearing frequently and interrupting usability; no option for ad removal through payment.
Some preset categories and items do not match user expectations, requiring manual deletion of irrelevant items.
Missing features like printing, saving/backing up lists, and more precise options like campfire or kids' categories.

2023-11-12	Ar*****	Why are they asking for our gender. That's weird. Edited in: That's still weird. There are other ways than forcing us to pick a gender. There are no items that are truly gender exclusive, just gender normative.

2023-10-01	An*****	Wonderful app. I have ADHD and it can be overwhelming packing just off top of my head . And most times when I pack I forget things. This app was a lifesaver. I really love the feature that it automatically suggests things to add to your list based on your trip. And that it offers different categories of packing like: hygiene, gadgets, clothes, and to dos. If you need help packing, this is the app for you!

2023-09-25	Ka*****	Not what I thought it was. I'm looking for a list that I can create and place on my homescreen to use without having to click on it more than once.

2023-09-18	To*****	Downloaded 3. Find myself using this one. Wish there was a way to remove the banner ads. Very useful. Dear Developer: understood, I meant I'm willing to pay for the app. One time as subscriptions are not always appropriate for apps but uses daily/often. Thanks for the reply.

2022-08-12	An*****	I like how things are organized but I don't like where you HAVE TO PICK something like essentials, boating. When you click those it doesn't add the correct items. I want to be able to add my own stuff from the beginning and I have to delete everything. It's a waste of time.

2022-07-17	Ro*****	I love all the different type of trip options, and that you can pick several. They even have a pre trip to do list! Two suggestions: some checklist items are abbreviated , understandably, but maybe when you click on it the full words could show? Some I couldn't guess. And second add a " cruise" category. Oh and you did put health records, but these days a vaccination card is needed, so maybe be more specific. Thanks for a great app!
