This isn’t an application that once you are finished packing doesn’t get opened again. The first is, it is a blend of a packing list and a to-do list. Right off the bat there where things that stood out to me. For a little application, Quinn has really put a lot of time and effort into it to meet every possible need of every possible traveler. Then it creates a starting list for you to modify. It takes you to a screen that asks how many people are traveling and the temperature of the destination an whether it is international or domestic as well as a few other questions. This works like a list wizard, if you will. But there is also an option titled “with Expert Help”. When I made my Vietnam list I chose to go with a sample list to simply modify. When you choose the option to create a list the next screen offers you several options to start. When you first open the application, Packing Pro gives you a screen with several lists to choose from a group of sample lists, your own lists and an option to create a new list. So I thought I would give Packing Pro a whirl and put it through it’s paces. Packing pro and it’s baby sibling, Packing have been recognized by Apple and National Geographic (Packing Pro by American Express) as some of their top apps for traveling. It looked pretty comprehensive and it certainly came very highly recommended, so I downloaded it. So after poking around the apps store I ran across an app designed especially for packing, called Packing Pro, by Quinn Genzel. It works well, but it is limited, as Zenbe is really just a to-do list. Up till now I have made my own list with an iPhone app called Zenbe List.
So over the past year or so I have used packing lists to help. Once I even left my laptop at home on my desk! More than once I had been absolutely sure I had everything packed, I left home with a sense of security only to find I left my medicine on my bathroom sink. In fact, not only does it make it difficult, it can make it dangerous. If truth be known, I am a train wreck when it comes to organization and that makes packing difficult. Bless you, I wish I was that way, but I am not. The only thing worse might be the unpacking (I am not very good at putting things away). One of the worst parts of travel is packing.
