Backpacking List: Checklist

I’m extremely organized in my everyday life but I feel like a complete mess when it comes time to stuff my backpack. This app has been a godsend. I not only have a clear checklist now, but I also have weights and photos. I’ve been using this app to help me cut down needless additional items and it’s really helped me get to that ideal sweet spot. I’m not a review writer but I just felt the need to show some appreciation for such a great product that’s been so helpful in my favorite activity. Keep creating.

I downloaded this app because I wanted to see if it would be a good app for my upcoming backpacking trip. ( as a side note - I’ve been backpacking for over 45 years, so I have a refined and detailed list ) Overall, it’s been a good app. I asked Dan if he could add a “notes” addition to each item because my personal list has several notes ( what I bring may vary depending on length of trip, weather, quantities, etc ). He added that option in this release! I appreciated his quick response. At this point I rated it a 4. As I continue using it, I may adjust that higher, but I wanted to give the app a “full workout” first. But overall, it matches what I need. My only “downside ( if that’s the right term)” is requiring a model for each item. Some of my items I have no idea what brand and model they are. So for the “brand” I’ll add something like “towel” and for the model I will enter “8x16 REI towel for drying”, or “sandals” for the brand and “sandals for river crossings” for the model. Nothing major, but a minor inconvenience. Anyway, as I continue using the app, I will probably adjust my review. But overall, this seem like a good backpacking app that I would recommend

I just used this app on my backpacking trip into the Smokies this past weekend. My life is pretty chaotic and I found this helpful to be easily organized for my trip. I was able to get home from work and pack within just a few hours because everything was all mapped out for me. I definitely loved being able to calculate my pack weight without having to do all the mental math. I will absolutely be utilizing backpacking list again in the future. Well worth the yearly subscription in my opinion. I don’t know why the people who rated it 1 star did, especially since they didn’t leave any feedback about their experience.
