Looking for some feedback on my app

[RichKessler]

Launched this about a month ago and the downloads have been pathetic. I'm working on 2.0 right now which will include better graphics, new features and an easier UI. Would love to get actual feedback past "it doesn't load"

BTW, can I just say that while the market itself is nowhere near and vast as the App Store, Android's developer console crushes apple! I love knowing there are crashes and exactly what they are. Brilliant!!

Just downloaded it. I will check it out and get back to you when I get a chance. It looks intriguing!

That's the kind of app my Mrs would love. I'll get her to download it when she gets home from work tonight.

Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to your thoughts!

I just gave it a little try.

It's logically organised, snappy and navigating through it is pretty easy. The instructions are clear although the font/colour scheme makes them seem a bit, I dunno, dated or too cartoonish.

As for the main concept, dressing yourself virtually, it seems like a good idea but a bit problematic. I was trying men's coats and most of the pictures of the items include men modelling said coats. You can't remove the men from the picture so you can't place it on the mannequin if you see what I mean. The background slider only serves to fade out the picture completely. Some of the angles are also wrong especially with the shoes.

Thanks, Sak. We are changing the color scheme to straight black and white (and red where needed for buttons). The dress yourself, that was the best we could accomplish. Unfortunately there's no way to remove the people from the image without messing with the clothing. Our apple developer was the only one who managed to get it this far.

It's not for me, but I'll have the wife check it out later tonight - seems like something she may like. I'll report back if/when she does.

Does it only search US sites?

The app may seem logical to a man, but I've not met a woman who doesn't enjoy trying on clothes.
Good luck.

As far as I know it only searches US stores. We get the API from another company and at the moment they only provide US retailers.

Thanks. It seems like a good idea, but I'll give it another look in when/if UK sites become available.

I enjoyed my little test spin. One small issue was, when I was looking at shoes for boys, there were some girls shoes mixed in. But I love online shopping, and this looks like a fun new way to do it.
