About this app

SmartPack is an easy to use but powerful packing assistant which helps you to prepare your packing list with minimum effort. The app comes with several common items suitable for different travel scenarios (contexts), which can be fully customized to match your needs.

When your list is ready, you can start packing without even looking at your phone by using Voice Mode, where the app will read the list out loud sequentially and wait for your verbal confirmation as you pack each item.

Features

✔ Automatically suggests what to bring with you based on travel duration, gender and contexts/activities (ie. cold or hot weather, plane, driving, business, pet etc)

✔ Contexts can be combined so that items are only suggested in certain situations (ie. "child car seat" is suggested when contexts "driving" + "baby" are selected, "rent a car" for "plane" + "driving" and so on)

✔ Items can be configured so that they are NOT suggested in certain situations (ie. "hair dryer" not needed when "hotel" is selected)

✔ Linked items: Items can be assigned a "parent" item and automatically included when that item is selected, so that you never forget to bring them together (ie. camera battery and lenses)

✔ Support for tasks (travel preparations) - just assign "Preparations" category to an item

✔ Weight tracking: you can optionally inform the approximate weight of each item in your list and have the app estimate your bag's total weight before you start packing, helping to avoid surcharges

✔ The master item list is fully customizable and you can add, edit and remove items as desired. It can also be imported/exported as CSV

✔ Unlimited and customizable contexts and categories to organize items according to your needs

✔ Voice Mode: use your voice to interact with the app while it tells you what to pack next. Just reply with "ok", "yes" or "check" to cross out the current item and proceed to the next.

✔ Multiple bags can be managed simultaneously *

✔ Packing list can be shared with compatible apps *

✔ Home Widget *

✔ Easily translatable: Even if the app is not available in your language, all items, categories and contexts can be renamed at once using the translation assistant.


* Some premium features are enabled for a small one-time fee.

Ratings and reviews

A very good app just a little bug the feedback button doesn't work. It would be good if the list could ask how many people the increment the times by number of people.

There is a reviewer (Artemis Caine) who goes on about no gendered items. Yes there absolutly are gendered items: boy clothes, girl clothes, toys for boys and toys for girls. There is also non gender specific items such as tooth brush etc. Not sure what that dude is on about, but in the real world, things are definately gendered.

Functionality described will be great, but the preset options/pre-populated fields are too prescriptive, too much to delete before I begin. The flexible, intelligent approach and potential customisability could be invaluable. But you won't get any punters while the free version's so stingy - too limited to get an impression of what the app would be like in use ("try before you buy!"). I'd upgrade, just to see (< £2, no prob if it's wasted) but I think it would go to nobody, this app's abandoned.
