★★★★★ "Is this a scam, or dead app. Paid $2.99. App hangs on iPhone 15 Pro at the generating pack list stage. Asking for help leads to a site that says it’s not active. Took the payment for the app immediately, but this is non-functional." - Andytowc

What the heck is wrong
Several important trips the app crashes and just spins validating city. Are you kidding?! I’ve deleted data and started over after years of building my customized lists. Really messed things up, giving up and moving on. Premium app btw.
Lost all my previous stored trips
As I was importing my upcoming trip from trip it, PackPoint kept quitting at the start. Had to purchase the premium version in order to open it. The last rev versions mentions that the bug I got was fixed but it is not true.

One star only because I can’t give zero!
This app is not forgiving, has no way to edit item names. Waste of time and money.
Waste
This was a waste of money I could’ve done this good was just an excel spreadsheet.
App crashes when I try to use a TripIt trip
I upgraded to premium so I could use the TripIt feature, however whenever I try to create a packing list after selecting the activities it simply crashes and goes away. Not good investment.
Disappointing
I had such high hopes for this app and paid the $2.99 but once I put in the activities and it says that my packing list is being generated, it freezes and won’t go past that. If I have to pay for an app before I even use it, I expect it to work.
Not formate for ipad
I purchased this app on my ipad so I expected it to be formatted for ipad. It was not.
PackPoint Premium is Useless!
This app was recommended on Forbes travel newsletter -- but turns out, it is totally useless. Also, no contact information to get in touch with the company to provide feedback and ask for refund. Another reviewer said you are way ahead with pencil and paper & I agree.
Useless
I can write on a piece of paper the things i need or buy a. Packing list pad of paper for the same price. This was not worth $2.99. It’s useless.
Waste of money
This app is a waste of money. It never finalized my lists or have me a way to track where I was in the process.
Useless
Nothing. Do not buy, save your time and $2.99. Anyway to get a refund?
Location
Explain to me why the hell this app should force someone to select a valid city in order to set a location rather than let me input any text I want as a location? I want to put the name of a state park I plan on camping at as where I'm going, not be forced to select the nearest town near the state park?? If I want to put "grandma's house" as to where I'm going and create a packing list of what I plan taking when I go visit, I should be able to that as my "where to". STUPID!
To force someone to set an actual town as a "where to" seems like your tracking me. And why the hell does this app need to ask if I'm male or female unless your tracking that data too? What does my gender have to do with packing lists.
1 star for ignorance!!

Both free and premium version keep crashing
Very unhappy.
Not customizable enough for the money
App is pretty, but you can't alphabetize once you add your items to a list. You also can't specify which bags the items will go into, and can't organize by person. For $3, I feel like the app should have more features and be more useful as opposed to just look good.
Not very useful.
This app seems to be a repeat of all the other mediocre packing apps. It makes list but only for one person. The activity listed is limited. No activity for sight seeing on a travel app, hmmm? Wish I had not purchased it. Didn't see the trail one.
great idea , bad execution
like the idea and even paid for the upgrade to link to TripIt, but every time I try and link to TripIt - the app crashes. either fix the app or send refund. #robbed
Dated, clunky
Looks like this was written for the iPhone 5 or 6… text entry and graphics are low quality, and there are minimal options and features for customization of your travel plans which generate the packing lists. Not worth the price of the app.
Not working
Bought the app, input a sample 1 week trip to London. It does nothing except say gathering weather data. A disappointing start!
Not Helpful
This app should be free. There are too many features that don’t work. Cities can’t be found, then you can’t create a trip. The duration is not editable once you save. After you deselect an item you can’t retrieve it.
Needs to pack some punch
App is on the right track, but too basic for the money. Need to fix some bugs, add ability to pack for kids, pets, senior family member, etc. Ability to reorder lists to match packing style, is a necessity. The ability to identify which suitcase/bag the items will be packed in would start to make this a truly useful app - then, upon arrival, could search to find which bag has the item(s) I need!
