PackPoint Travel Packing List for Negative User Reviews
✓ Meh - super disappointingLove TripIt so I had high hopes that this app would be great when syncing. So many things wrong with this - it doesn’t sync between devices (iPad and iPhone) even after paying for premium, you cannot change anything about your trip once created, multiple locations don’t seem to be supported, most of the required setup has to be done by you. Totally want a refund for this waste of money app..Version: 1.37
✓ Paid version has awkward bug and is missing key featuresHopefully these things can be fixed in updates: 1. BUG: iPhone screen keyboard covers the “add new item” line as well as the “add” button making it incredibly awkward to add new items. 2. Doesn’t sync between devices. 3. You can’t share packing lists with other pro users for so that you can collaborate. I was told you can do #3 using Evernote or by email, but I dislike that app, and if me and my husband both pay for PackPoint Pro, I don’t see what you couldn’t share a trip within the app itself rather than having to use an outside program. It shouldn’t be a hard feature to add. I am hoping for it to be added later. At this point, there is no reason for him for us both to buy it since there is no advantage to doing so. I would think that this alone might be incentive enough for the developers to consider adding it as a feature..Version: 1.24
✓ Just okInitially this looks to be great so I upgraded to the premium version. Vital features this lacks- by “edit” or customisable they only mean you can add items to the lists. You can’t edit in the true sense- no re-ordering items in the list, or even change the spelling if you’ve inputted it incorrectly. Also there’s a really annoying orange “customise” banner persistently at the bottom of the screen in all views which I can’t get rid of and obscures the items beneath. There’s already a “customise “ option in the menu so this is totally unnecessary. Basically, a reasonable app but not as good as it first appears or could be. I’m looking for another. Don’t bother to upgrade!.Version: 1.16
✓ Doesn’t meet my travel packing needsDoesn’t meet my needs. First, the app requires a gender designation, I don’t understand why. Second, it doesn’t ask where you traveling from and how you are traveling. I’m taking a road trip from the US to Mexico. It listed boarding pass but not passport. Third, it assumes you’re going to one place, I’m planning a long, multi location road trip. It’s useless for me..Version: 1.38
✓ Not Road Trip FriendlyI wanted this for an 8 day road trip especially for the weather portion. I synced with tripit and the weather and destination are all tied to one stop. I upgraded so I wouldn't have to make it 8 different trips, but it would have just been easier to go to the weather app and write down weather for each stop. The packing list would be helpful to people. I have one saved on a word doc that has worked for me for years so that didn't really make it worth it..Version: 1.38
✓ Overall good but the UI needs refinementMy 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..Version: 1.31
✓ BummerJust downloaded app and didn't get past first screen. Unfortunately no landscape view and therefore of no use to me. Could be a great app, but my head doesn't tilt 90 degrees so I will never know. Perhaps in the future..Version: 1.27
✓ New Items Screen BugCan't add any new items because keyboard covers the new item prompt..Version: 1.23
✓ Great PotentialThis app has great potential to be really useful. At the moment however a couple of advancements are needed - the ability to delete/ edit items. - currently there are too many duplicates (eg sunglasses). - & the ability to sort items into your own categories. Fix these couple of things and it would be really helpful app. Thanks.Version: 1.0
✓ Keeps FreezingEvery time I open my saved trip the app just freezes. Only way I can resolve it is by forcing the app closed. I only have the ONE trip going at the moment so not being able to get back into it is a bit of a deal breaker. Love the concept but it just doesn’t want to work on my iPhone 6 😟.Version: 1.23
✓ Not specific enoughGreat idea but I wouldn’t trust it to know specifics of particular places. As an example I put in San Francisco in May for photography and hiking. It gave me a basic list of everything but didn’t include enough layering clothes. Anyone who knows San Francisco knows it can be foggy in the mornings and therefore cold anytime of year. As the day progresses it can very hot by the afternoon. A light jacket was suggested but you would actually need a hoody, gilet, light cardigan, lightweight gloves and a beanie hat. If I took a trip as I suggested in the app I’d end up having to buy numerous items or be cold..Version: 1.30
✓ Doesn't workI have entered my details about my holiday and then unfortunately it glitched and said I had a problem with my internet. I have tried it on two different devices with different wifi's and 4g. HELP!!.Version: 1.7
✓ Good packing list app, but trip it integration is broken.Love love love the packing lists and ability to create my own and customize existing ones. As a long time trip it user I loved the intervention but over the last year something is wrong with the trip it integration and the app always suggests past trips or wrong trips for me when being to pack. It’s a big bummer as I’m a trip it pro user..Version: 1.38
✓ Unrealised potentialGreat idea, but currently not customisable enough to be usable (even with the premium upgrade)..Version: 1.7
✓ Missing some very key features - even when upgradedOnce you have a standard list for (e.g. snow sports). You can’t make custom items “repeating” items based on the amount of days. You can only add to the list as another custom item. So you can have your “thermals vests” for 7 days, but can have “7 thermal vests”. Basically renders the packing list useless, as I’m still having to work out how many of each thing you need. Needs changing ASAP. And for £3, to make things customisable, it should have this feature..Version: 1.23
✓ Great appUse it for years and omg so helpful !.Version: 1.38
✓ Does not share across devicesI have this on my iPad and iPhone. Great idea but it does not sync lists between the devices. I also purchased the premium when using it on my iPad but the phone is only the basic. It does not recognize that I’ve already upgraded..Version: 1.37
✓ IOS 17 not openingWell this got recommended and I could install it with no issues but it does not open. It’s loads and closes. :(.Version: 1.39
✓ Good StartUpdate: Big miss on shorts. Planning a beach trip, the app found that the high will be in the 80s... and decided shorts won’t be needed despite being on the essentials list. I wish I could see and adjust the thresholds for certain items like sweaters and shorts, but for now I have to add them manually. Original:Just getting started with it, but it has the basics. Things that could be improved: -More icons: Missing some really basic things like a driving icon for car trips, and some more sports. Would help if you could upload your own. -Family sync: Would be nice to have a family list or account so that families can share packing some of the basics and sync up. -Web interface: Would be much easier to edit and create new activities from a laptop. I like the pre populated lists and will have to play around with the settings to figure out how best to do things like plan for ski trips and have it calculate the right number of pairs of ski socks and long underwear. So far it’s interesting and I will update as I get better with it..Version: 1.16
✓ Not for meI really wanted to like it, but three months on still no iPhone 6/6+ support; can't set trip end date (sometimes too hard to work out number of nights!); no obvious way to change temperature to Celsius; and kept crashing. I used it three months ago, so it probably didn't crash back then, hence 3-stars. I'm probably going to delete this one..Version: 1.4
✓ Serious potential but unfortunately lackingI upgraded to premium after liking the look and feel of the free app but hoping for some extra features. Wasn't worth the money. The features are good but there is so much room for basic improvements. I thought I'd share some ideas with the developers and found they have a really great feedback site where sure enough several users have left similar thoughts to mine. While the developers have said things like "great idea" to the suggestions they haven't bothered to integrate them into the app. PLEASE DO SO!!! Not being able to re-sort lists or edit items is incredibly frustrating (especially when I thought that would be one of the things I was paying for). So much so that I'm back using a paper based list. What a shame. Get on with making this app live up to its definite potential please!!.Version: 1.7
✓ Premium doesn't sync with Evernote, only savesI paid for premium thinking that the app would, as promised, sync with Evernote. It doesn't. It SAVES to Evernote. If you change anything in the Evernote version, there's no way (that I've found) to get those changes back to PackPoint. Next time you "sync" from PackPoint it simply creates a new note. So, basically, it's no good as anything other than a backup. A shame as this is an otherwise excellent app - very easy to use, nice interface and I do like being able to create custom "activities" as it's a useful way to manage the packing of other family members..Version: 1.12
✓ Nah!I'm all for keeping travel stuff to a minimum, so tried it, but just couldn't see the point. I went through the process, selected the items I would need, but there was no apparent way to save my list. I tried emailing it to myself but it came up with the full list including items I didn't select (no I don't use shaving cream or contraceptives, and I don't need to pack my camera twice, etc). Great concept, but not ready for the public..Version: 1.3
✓ Used to Love ItI used to love this app and used it all the time, but lately I found it doesn’t work as well. The alignments for the iPhone X are off so when I try to change the amount of an item I want to bring, it takes multiple tries because it won’t work or it’ll change the amount for a different item..Version: 1.23
✓ Seems like a great app..So initially I was super impressed by this app. Suggesting things to pack, splitting up the categories, etc. However, since I did not purchase the premium version, it seemed like I “couldn’t finish packing”. There was no spot to say “I’m finished” packing, take me to my list. Every time I clicked on one of the suggestions, that particular choice would disappear but again, there was no option to see my final packing list..Version: 1.28
✓ DisappointedI was excited to try this app, and even paid. however I was very disappointed. Here are the things I found lacking. Also note, it very well could be my lack of understanding. If I am correct, then it’s more for the developer to take note and improve the app. My first problem was categories. It defaulted to order of categories. I tried moving main categories for example swimming at the bottom and work clothes at the top. Otherwise you need to rename the groups. Next within the groups you cannot move items around. You add an item it goes to the top of the list. So let’s say I add dress socks then add dress shirt, oh I want to add hiking socks but I want them next to dress socks. I can not rearrange the list. Out of frustration I made a table in notes and typed a list up myself. I think the app has lots of potential and if I am at fault I apologize. Cheers. Happy travels.Version: 1.31
✓ Just data miningThis app is useless it will not allow you to change the date of a trip. I think it’s just a way to get your future trips information to pass on to other interested parties.Version: 1.27
✓ The idea is awesome, but the execution needs some work.First of all, the app looks beautiful and it’s very intuitive. The one issue I have is that’s it’s a bit buggy. For example, when typing text and working your way down a list, the list itself doesn’t automatically move up. Eventually, the keyboard blocks what you’re typing and there’s no way to hide the keyboard or manually scroll up or down. I bought the customization feature, but was really bummed out to discover this bug after the fact. Please look into this. I would love to continue using this app..Version: 1.24
✓ InfuriatingUsed to work. One of the few apps I have paid money for. Now, the TripIt doesn’t sync and every time I leave the app and come back it erases my packing list- so I have to start over creating it and checking off what I’ve packed. Luckily I exported the list I was using the last time so I have it by email but the app is so buggy as to be absolutely worse than worthless— it would be better if I have no packing list than one that gets deleted arbitrarily after you’re relying on it! Also now even though I paid for the premium version it’s not recognizing that anymore and there is not contact for support. Totally on my own. Better off with a paper and pencil..Version: 1.38
✓ Falls shortI love this idea, but there are issues. First, tapping the item removes it! No way to get it back! Please make it possible to undo actions or to “unhide” items. Next, please make it possible to use categories in an existing list in a new list. Finally. Let users create additional categories. If this app has those things, it would be competitive with other list apps..Version: 1.38
✓ Useful but use own judgementGood for a list of things but quantities are way out..Version: 1.40
✓ Neat but flawedI love the look of it. Great to be able to choose your type of holiday and it fills in packing list with appropriate items. However once you tap an item it disappears, never to be seen again. Ok not too much of a problem it you have packed it, not so good if you accidentally tapped it whilst swiping down your list. You have no idea which item it was! I could not find anywhere a list that shows packed items nor an edit button to go back if you tap something by mistake. Most of us like to double check our list as well, but it appears this can not be done. I am happy to be proven wrong but I can't find anything.Version: 1.7
