  1. [R1] 5/5 · US Helpful tool to keep track of belongings: Over time and multiple moves I’ve lost the ability to remember where I put anything. This app helps by allowing me to remember what boxes things are in, where they’re located, and I especially appreciate the photo feature so I can remember what each box looks like.
  2. [R3] 5/5 · US Stress Reducer: I’m always looking for a great system that I can just plug my data into and feel secure and effective in using it. Boxes has made organizing, boxing and retrieving my packed items an easier, less stressful task when everything else feels a bit chaotic. Full marks to the app developer for putting this together in a clear, helpful manner.
  3. [R8] 5/5 · US A must if you are storing between moves: I am packing up a large house for an uncertain amount of time. I want to be able to know what is in each box and where it is stored. I am able to do that with ease with this app. The subscription has an unlimited option with a one-time payment which is exactly what I needed. The user interface is thoughtful and intuitive. Excellent app.
  4. [R10] 5/5 · US Great support for angry old ppl: This app has made my life easier w/ moving. Also when I had trouble the developer was very gracious and as an aged person, I appreciate his help.
  5. [R21] 5/5 · US perfect for my needs and a very responsive developer: this app is exactly what I was looking for to keep track of what I have in my various storage boxes without having to pull them out every time. also gotta give a shout out to the developer who is incredibly responsive and eager to incorporate new ideas and fix problems. I immediately paid for the lifetime membership, hope this app never dies!
  6. [R60] 5/5 · US Incredible value with responsive developer!: I’ve been using Boxes for a while now, and it has completely streamlined how I manage my storage and organization. The app is intuitive, feature-rich, and does exactly what it promises. Whether you’re tracking items for a move, organizing seasonal decorations, or managing a growing collection, this app handles it all seamlessly. What sets Boxes apart i
  7. [R5] 5/5 · US The Best!: I’m so impressed with the design of this app and how easy it is to use. I store a lot of stuff in totes and wouldn’t use any other to keep track of things. Thank you!
  8. [R29] 5/5 · US Perfection Made Simply: This app does exactly what I’d hoped it would do and it does it effortlessly from my involvement point of view. Simple to use and intuitive UI.
  9. [R72] 5/5 · US Amazing!!!: This app is amazing. We have to store some boxes while we move. This app will make finding items incredibly efficient! The ability to create my own labels with a QR code is huge! Once boxes are packed I can search for a specific item, the app will tell me what box it is in! We are a family of 5. Everyone in the family has the app and uses it to pack their own boxes. I seriously
  10. [R52] 1/5 · US Unfortunate Redesign: I’ve always felt this app was one of the best apps available. I have not used it in a while and now discovered that it’s been extensively redesigned. I am unable to determine how to even print the label I need because there’s no instructions to understand how to use the features that they changed. Furthermore, not only do they want me to pay for using the app, they want to s
  11. [R53] 1/5 · US Update removed label size: It was great until the update. I am in the middle of packing and now I have to enter all the details of a label that used to be in the system. If I could enter the Avery template number I wouldn’t mind, but I have to manually put in all the measurements. Very frustrating.
  12. [R93] 5/5 · US Makes moving super easy: The Boxes app is great and already has helped us organizing our stuff, but I’d like to share my experience and thoughts that may help improve it: I have had incidences that the app has crashed on me on both iPhone and iPad. It usually happens when I am entering a long list of items to a box and it just crashes without saving the changes (very frustrating) that you would n
  13. [R67] 1/5 · US Disappointed: Great app but you only get ten boxes and then everything from there costs money. It’s silly. I just wanted a place to write down all the items. Deleted the app, I’ll just make a note in my phone.
  14. [R88] 3/5 · US Only allowed 10 boxes: Great concept. It would be a nice if it alllowed for more than 10 boxes. Moving requires more boxes than the price of what this app would probably be worth. I could just use a notebook, spreadsheet, or qr scan labels. I liked this concept because it was faster.
  15. [R133] 2/5 · AU Only the first 10 are free: I’m 1/4 the way through my packing thinking I’m using a simple free app, and after box 10 you have to pay! I didn’t realise that or I would have used a different system. I am too far into my packing to start again now so had to pay.
