Catastrophic complexity problem—turned a simple list app into an unusable maze of categories, types, and templates that requires reading instructions
"This app is a shining example of how to take simple task and make it so complicated that it becomes worthless"
"Nobody wants to read the instructions when it comes to an app for packing! They just want it to be intuitive and straightforward. This is neither"
It’s complicated but I keep coming back to for easily ten years. Seems like it shouldn’t be this complicated though.
I really like the app. It's pretty great for keeping things organized, but it needs some "Quality of Life" fixes.

Example (one among many): A million years ago, it seems, it was pointed out that the home-br...
The last update made this a blank app with nothing but errors
Nobody wants to read the instructions when it comes to an app for packing! They just want it to be intuitive and straightforward. This is neither and after 45 mins of trying to build a list for an overseas trip I gave up. There may be others who have a lot more patience than I do but they shouldn’t...
