Contact PackPoint Travel Packing List Support

Update: 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.

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.

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.
