If packing for a trip tends to cause you a lot of stress, then Packing Pro is the app for you.
Designed for your iPad or iPhone, Packing Pro is the ultimate packing organizer that lets you create as many packing lists as you like, all fully customizable.
There’s even an ‘expert roster assistant’ that creates rosters for you based on the number of adults, children and days you’re away. It also takes into account the temperature, the destination and whether you will be able to wash the clothes while you travel.
Who is Packing Pro ideal for?
I think Packing Pro is a must-have iPhone app for anyone worrying about packing for a big trip or panicking about what to pack the night before. If even the idea of starting a list seems too daunting – I get it – then there are sample lists you can build from to get you started.
But it’s also an essential app for anyone who likes to be organized and yet feels constrained by the Notes app on their phone or other to-do list apps that weren’t built with packing in mind. You can also share the lists you create with your friends and family members thanks to iCloud integration.
With Packing Pro, you can create and tag multiple lists, such as clothing or accessories, and add hundreds of items to each. These lists can then be stored in the dropdown style hierarchy. You can then store them in different categories, such as current trips and future trips. There’s also a search function that lets you find specific items across all your lists.
One of my favorite elements of the app is that all of these lists are viewable in a to-do list format, meaning you can tick them off as you complete them. Because I’m great at making lists, but I often don’t finish gathering all the things to pack until the last minute.
If you use the Notes app on your iPhone or any other organizational app, you may not need Packing Pro. But if you’re stressed about packing or traveling regularly and want to explore better ways to stay organized, I think $2.99/£2.99 for full access to Packing Pro is well worth it.
