This app is life changing in that I’ll probably rarely have to spend money on clothes again. It’s initially an investment of time to upload your clothing but it will save you time and money in the end. My only issue is that when it gives me my outfit suggestions it doesn’t have the name of the clothing item next to it. When you have multiple pairs of jeans or shirts it’s hard to know which one is suggested (cropped jeans? High rise???, which black pants?). I think this is important so you rotate your clothing and get usage of what you own. Other then that, I love everything about it. I’ve had my teen daughters install this and they are loving it. No more telling me they have nothing to wear!!! I do wish they would add features for clothing such as “sequin” or “gold/silver/metal accents” to shoes and clothing so it doesn’t pair a sequin dress top with something off. Also I agree they should add accessories feature to suggested outfits.

So this was a decent app a long time ago as far as outfit matching. However, now it will only ever suggest the same types of outfits and refuses to create outfits with certain things. For example, I have regular jeans and I have jean shorts. It will match with the regular jeans in even the hottest of temperatures but it will never pair with the Jean shorts. When I try to have it create outfit combos with the shorts it will say “Are you sure this is a good match?” When it’s the exact same color and excellent fit as the full jeans. The same also happens with two similar grey shirts. The only difference is that one has black lettering and the other is plain. It absolutely will match nothing to the one with the black letters but it will constantly match to the plain. Even the lengths are the same. Normally I might chalk this one up to just the graphic… but it will also match with my one graphic band tee all the time. It’s very strange. Also it wants to pair everything with a cardigan. 100F weather and nearly every outfit that’s suggested is paired with a cardigan. Other than that it’s a great app! They just really need to tweak their outfit creating algorithm. Right now I’ve switched to using Stylebook until Cladwell fixes this. I’m also a member of Cladwell and I like their website stuff and information, just the app algorithm is atrocious.

I’ve used this app for almost 2 years every single day. I love the upgrades they performed this year and the features added. I have simplified my wardrobe, honed my personal style and created a sustainable capsule wardrobe. Adding, removing and placing items in storage are all incredibly easy. I use the capsules feature for traveling light (it counts my pieces and I can see outfit combos to ensure carry on only packing plus it has my “list” ready to go when I am). The algorithm is “learning” what outfits I like or don’t which makes getting dressed using the app so easy! The only negative is that I have tailored my closet so well that I often pick an outfit where some of the pieces are in the laundry (not the app’s fault!). There is no comparison on the market that I found (and I tried; subscriptions are not my “thing”). I really found I used the app and enjoy the metrics so I continue my membership with no reservations as I save a ton of money no longer purchasing clothes that are colors or styles that don’t fit within my wardrobe. I love my clothes now thanks to this app!
