Quinn Genzel has updated his popular travel list app Packing Pro adding the ability to synchronize information between multiple devices via iCloud. Designed to assist users with preparing for travel, Packing Pro provides an advanced digital packing list with an extensive customizable catalog, multiple sample lists that can be used as templates, and the ability to create and save standard lists for later reuse.
The app features multi-item selection for fast building of lists, running item tallies on a per-category basis, numerous sorting and display options, weight and value totals and the ability to share lists via e-mail and import and export between Packing apps on other devices. In version 8.0, instead of relying on manual data transfer, users can now enable iCloud to automatically sync lists, catalog content and settings between all iOS devices sharing the same iCloud account.
iCloud sync can be used not only to share data between a single user’s devices, but can also be useful in a family setting for sharing and checking off lists in preparation for a trip. Packing Pro is a universal app and is available from the App Store for $3; the app supports devices running iOS 3.0 or later, however iOS 5.0 is required for iCloud support.
