Suggestions as you type
Two letters, one tap
When you add an item, the list suggests what you have packed before – from your lists and from the templates.
- Toothbrush
When it helps
- When you start a list without a template
- Not every trip fits a template. Even in a blank list you do not write everything out: the suggestions bring along the words your lists and the templates already know.
- When you type on your phone
- On a phone keyboard every long word is a chore, all the more when you are standing up. Two letters and a tap on the suggestion are quicker than spelling out “Travel insurance”.
- When a thing should always have the same name
- Charging cable or charger? Take the suggestion and you write it the same way every time. That helps when you combine templates, because only items spelt the same are merged, and the search finds everything under one name.
- When something was missing after the trip
- Whatever you add as missing in the review counts as one of your own words from then on. Next time it is suggested ahead of the words from the built-in templates.
How it works
In a section, tap “Add an item”.
Type the first letters.
Tap a suggestion – or keep typing if it is something new.
Eleven items, nine of them with one tap
For a walking weekend in the Lake District you start a blank list with two sections. In “Clothing” you type “so”, and socks are there as a suggestion – one tap, done. The same goes for “rai” for the rain jacket, “wal” for walking boots, “ju” for a jumper and “bea” for a beanie. The list knows these words from the built-in templates, even if you have never written them down yourself.
Lake District walking weekend
- Clothing
- Socks, Rain jacket, Walking boots, Jumper, Beanie
- On the way
- Head torch, Pocket knife, First aid kit, Water bottle, Walking poles, Binoculars
Eleven items in two sections, nine of them with two or three letters and a tap. Only the walking poles and the binoculars were typed in full – and next time they will be suggested too.
Good to know
- How does the list know my words?
- From your own lists and templates and from the built-in templates. What you pack more often comes first.
- Does it suggest what is already there?
- No. What the section already holds is not suggested again.
