WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.6:
The Expert List assistant has been expanded to now include food preparation and clothes washing preferences, on top of the existing settings for number of adults (male & female), children and days, as well as temperature & destination info. Try it out for yourself!
WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.5:
The packing list SORT function has been expanded to now include:
- Sort by User
- Sort by Type
- Sort by Item
Feel free to sort by one of the above, while showing items that are packed, unpacked, or both.
WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.4:
- added a SORT function for packed and unpacked items on the popup toolbar on the packing list page
- made the checkmark sound a bit quieter
- increased the size of the "Add new xxx" text on the packing list page
WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.3:
A TOTALS function for the weight and value of packing list items has been added to the toolbar on the packing list page. The weight totals can be very useful for campers, hikers and mountaineers, and equally important for reducing the risk of over-weight and excess baggage charges for frequent fliers. The value totals can be helpful in assessing your losses due to possible lost or stolen luggage.
WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.2:
Optional WEIGHT and VALUE attributes have been added to each item on a packing list to provide you with the flexibility and power to keep even better records on all of your packed items. Also added is a one-time "Version x.x Update" popup, which highlights enhancements made after each new, subsequent update.
WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.1:

- Added a new pre-departure TO DO category, with over 100 listed items
- Added TO DO items onto all of the Sample Lists
- Integrated TO DO items into the Expert list generation tool
- TO DO category types & items are totally customizable, just like the rest of the Master Catalog. Feel free to add, delete, rename or reorder whatever you want!
- Enabled the title and table text on the packing list page to word wrap to a second line, if necessary, for better readability
- Fixed some minor bugs to improve speed and stability
- Corrected minor alignment problem at bottom of packing list page
Now, Packing Pro is no longer limited to just packing, but pre-travel planning and preparation as well. Enjoy!
