You could use the app to keep track of what is in what box so unpacking isn’t so chaotic and messy. It would also be helpful for all of the keepsakes and memorabilia you may have stashed away in the spare room or garage. If you need to access them quickly you can check the app and find out which box they are in and where the box is.
