Moving Organizer Pro

This really simplified the moving inventory process for our family as we packed up. We logged entries only on my phone, so syncing wasn’t an issue. For each entry, whether it was a box, bin, suitcase, or stand-alone item, we numbered and labeled the item physically, and then took a photo and added content details in the app. I loved these features, but my favorite functions were discovered after the move was complete! The search function has saved us multiple times when we’ve wondered what box the silverware or Dad’s brown shoes or other random items were in. And I love being able to mark when boxes are unpacked—the app shows “percentage complete” and it is highly motivating! The only glitchy thing was when I deleted an entry towards the beginning of the packing process. This got us off on the count because the app automatically numbers as you start an entry. We just had to stay on top of this as we entered, and change it to one less. Not sure what the fix would be for that, but it was my only complaint. Highly recommend this app and appreciate the thought that went into it.

This has been a life-saver during our move. Only one of us is logging the boxes so the need to sync is not important. If more people were packing/logging that would be a useful feature. Otherwise the options are very helpful including the search feature. We aren’t done with our move but I’m already so glad I found this app. Totally worth the price to avoid ads.

I started logging my boxes of packed stuff (still packing for move 1500mi away) and I caught right on with how the app works. With each Box I just took a picture of it with the same number label as I wrote on the box and for the contents I could just use speech to text on my iPad keyboard to rattle off what I saw in the box and that’s it! The only thing I’m thinking is I would have loved to have the option of taking a picture of the open box to put in the comment section too. Just a thought. Also, I don’t know how to calculate cubic feet of a box without a tape measure so it would be nice to have some kind of function that measures dimensions from the pictures. I don’t happen to need that info for my move so no biggie. I also think it would be better to have the contents in list form so you could mark one thing unpacked instead of editing the comments to account for what was removed.

At first I was frustrated with this app. It was not intuitive and the instructions were sparse. We were moving from one to two separate locations with a crazy mish mash of too much stuff. But the more I experimented I found it totally suitable. It does everything I needed it to do and more! I just needed to figure out how to work with it. I highly recommend it.

There’s no sync function when multiple users are working on multiple devices. The users have to manually coordinate when one saves so the others can subsequently restore those changes. It’s too easy for users to get out of sync, and each be working on box number, say 25, because they each think they have the master count. Add multiple-device synchronization and fix the iphone ui glitches with pulldown menus and this would be. 4 to 5 star app. But as is, it’s extremely difficult for multiple users to work in parallel.
