Pros and cons of Pack The Bag Pro app for iPhone and iPad

Pack The Bag Pro app good for

Useful and simple. Ive tried a number of packing lists and this is my favourite. Its easily customizable but also has an extensive list of common items to start from. The only major improvement would be to sync across devices without having to export to Dropbox first.

This is a great app. Being an event planner makes me a list maker. What I didnt like, was making my packing list in a spreadsheet or word processor then having to print it. Pack the Bag solves that problem. My list is as mobile as I am! Its also great that you can tweak the least to suit your needs.

Some bad moments

I had been a huge fan of the free version of Pack the Bag, uploaded it to my old iPhone 3GS, and using it on a number of my trips to help me organize. I held off for a while before taking a chance on the pay version, wondering if I would not only like it better, but if it would be as flexible and efficient as the original. I had some extra iTunes gift dollars and decided to give it a go. Im only thankful the free version still exists. After several attempts for vacations last year, I gave up and returned to my tried and true. For one, the pay version appears more complicated than the first, which is ridiculous. Im big on categories and subcategories, and I was never sure if I was adding something to be packed later, or what was happening, as I seemed to be going thru way too many clicks to add one item. Even deletions were complicated due to swipe attempts which werent always successful. I liked the idea of being able to "pack" an object in a specific bag youre taking, but even this got frustrating. The only thing I did like was the weight section; when one has to be careful not to overpack due to baggage fees, etc. this was the one helpful benefit. After consulting the instructions numerous times, I finally contacted the designer by email AND even on Facebook, but despite their answers, I was never able to achieve their claims. In the end I removed the pay app and reinstalled the old one. It wasnt worth the trouble.

Overall, this app is good and very helpful but could be great with a few added features. For example, the ability to create several typical lists such as business travel, international travel, etc. the second thing it could use is a way to make notes about specific items you want to bring for example not just list 5 shirts but have a way to note a description of the exact shirts you want to bring.

I use this app for every trip to make lists for me and my 2 boys. It is so nice to copy previous pack lists to make new ones. There are tons of items in the different categories, and you can add your own, too. (I just wish it was 2 steps easier to add them.) the only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is that I have yet to figure out if I can hide or archive old lists. But overall, I love this app!

I upgraded and the new version is unusable. The old version was fine. I cant find check off lists that are practical.

The upgrade version is much more flexible in customized items and groups. The ICloud function works great between all my devices keep developing as this is a good app

Easy to use with preset list of packing essentials & simple to customize. I have packing list for carry-ons. My briefcase for the types of business trips and daily use. I used the list to effortlessly pack for a month on Tibet camping and a month house sitting. I even have my cosmetic bag inventoried with this app. It makes life easier and more organized.
