Travel Packing List: Pack This 4+

I downloaded about five packing apps and this was by far the best. I didn’t need a bunch of pre-populated items suggested for me to pack (birth control pills, really?) — I just wanted a clean space where I could make a few categories for the activities I’d be doing on my trip and the items I would need to pack for them & a way to check them off. I love that you can assign yourself or someone else to pack the item and while I haven’t shared a list yet, I know I will as I plan future summer camping trips. I’ve just used the app for one trip so far, but I travel often & I will definitely be paying for the upgrade to show my appreciation! One question I ran into — is it possible to rearrange the order of your categories once you’ve typed them in? I have found that I can alphabetize my items in each category, but haven’t seen a way to move around the categories. It would be a great feature to be able to drag and drop the categories in an order that makes sense to you— for example, if I have a category for each activity I am going to do on an adventure type trip, I would list them in the order they would be happening. (This helps me see what has already been packed for a previous day and what needs to be added for the next.) Thank you!!

Thanks for the great review and feedback! We have added rearranging the order of the categories to our list of suggested improvements.

I can choose my own categories and add my own stuff, as detailed as “white linen swimsuit cover”, or as simple as “jacket”, as appropriate for that list. I can copy a trip,add travelers (although honestly I only pack for myself so I can’t rate that feature). It has everything I need!

I pack really lightly, perhaps not quite “minimalist”, but close, so there’s not a huge amount to list, but whatever’s in the list is pretty important and it’d be bad to forget.

I’ve tried a number of others where the list is prepopulated, some even asked me to specify gender and included more crap on the packing list to carry - so it assumed because I’m female I must pack a lot of things I don’t need? I definitely don’t need to support that kind of design thought process!

Thanks AFriends. Glad to hear that you are liking our app!

After trying out a couple of different packing apps, this one is by far the best. I recently retired and have several trips planned ranging from one week domestic trips to 4 week international trips. In order for me to enjoy a trip stress free, I need to be organized . This app is great for that. I usually use a writing pad to list my packing list and to do items, but this is so much better. I upgraded. The $6.99 was worth the time of having to create a packing list for each trip. I created a master that I duplicate on all my trips then modify and add depending on the trip.

Glad to hear that pl21902. Safe travels!
