PackPoint Travel Packing List 4+

I’ve been using this app for the last year or two and quite pleased with it’s ease-of-use. I’ve never forgotten a thing that I needed and I love the fact that you can add things that may not be listed.

I just purchased the premium version and have only one minor concern. I just used the app and after I have set it all up and added new things, I realized that the dates were incorrect. I could not find anywhere to change the dates other than re-doing it...which I was not about to do. This seems like an easy change and I hope you can accommodate me on this with a fix.

Other than that I love this app and highly recommend it. Thanks for a super app!

My initial review of this app wasn’t quite fair. There were some capabilities I didn’t think it had but it did - they were just harder to find than I thought. Biggest issues are some inefficiencies in the user interface. One big one - PackPoint always wants to drop you into the screen for creating a packing list, even when that’s not what you want to do and there’s no way out of it until you create a list. Then you have to go back and delete the unwanted list it forced you to create! Other annoyances are 1) entering dates one field at a time instead of using a calendar selector; 2) the weather display looks like a day forecast but isn’t; 3) the weather display also needs to allow you to click thru to a multi day forecast covering your trip; 3) it really needs to let you modify the names of items in an activity as well as change the ordering, like you can in an actual packing list. There are a lot of other UI annoyances. They’re all small, but collectively they make the app more tedious than it needs to be.

This app was so great for years, total 5 star. I used it on every trip I took. But recently, it has stopped working properly. When I open it up, it opens to the screen asking me to select either business or leisure for a new trip. And there is no way to get out of that screen without quitting the app, which most times won’t even fix it. Worst, one of my last trips I created a list. Tweaked it perfectly to suite that trip. Opened it back up a few days later and it was gone. I had to delete the app, reinstall and all my customized lists were gone. Forever. There is no backup. I was optimistic and so started to creat my lists again. But then it still would not open to the screen where I can choose to view a saved trip. This app has seriously become useless and I am on the hunt for a better one. It has not been updated in 7 months! TripIt, who I believe bought it, has entirely neglected it and I wonder if they plan to no longer offer it. It’s a shame because this was the best all out there and now it’s the worst.
