Apps

Going through all the apps in the section "Apps to keep you current" on the apple website I've found some awesome things that will be great comparisons and helpful for my App, I'm in the process of downloading them.
I'll be experimenting on them and comparing all of them for some primary research!

In the mean time here are a couple of really interesting apps/ inspirational/ similar or Apps with elements that are of an interesting concept, and something to keep in mind for design and creation process...

Who What Wear:

An App detailing the best fashion and beauty trends as seen on celebs/ models/ tastemakers and so on. With reports on runways, red carpets, streets, Who What Wear delivers everything you need to know about the latest looks. With content on all the latest breaking style news, high fashion info, celebrity styles and shopping suggestions. This App seems like a really well rounded app, I'm looking forward to experimenting on it and looking for any flaws and gaps!


Here are a few customer reviews on Who What Wear taken from the Apple website:
(as soon as the app is up and running on my iPhone I will be sure to look through more of them, as I am assuming that they will have only put good reviews onto the website!)

Good Daily Fashion News

The app is pretty cool providing daily information in the world of Hollywood Fashion. It runs faster on my wireless network and 3G than AT&T's Edge network. I hope that there will be more features to come.

Keep loading!!!!

Never seen anything on the app. Cleared it of my phone and reordered three times and the samething each time. A pisser offer app!!!!

Alright...

The app is cool because Its conveinent but it never works!


Style Caster:

A fashion/ weather app, delivering expert styled looks based on the users current location and is weather forecast. Users can watch fashion videos, read up to the minute fashion, beauty, celeb style and lifestyle content from "the newsroom". Daily looks are also delivered to the users, personalized outfits created especially for them, based upon their interaction with the Style Caster site. The App also offers the users to look at the people who help to create the looks, eg, model, stylist, hair, make up and can also get information on the products used, which I think is a nice element as the user can see the effort and also research into a stylist that they like etc.

Trying to do too much

I like the concept behind this app, but it seems like it's got a little of everything, as opposed to specializing in just one thing. The main reason I downloaded it was for weather-based fashion suggestions, but I don't like how the outfits are shown on models—kind of off-putting if you're not a model. Plus, who's actually going to watch those videos? There are other fashion/weather apps that are much cleaner and easier to use.

LOVE THIS APP

This application is amazing. I cannot wait to see my outfits tomorrow.

Finally!

Now I have StyleCaster with me on the go

mark. :

mark. is a beauty and fashion trend app. Users are able to view key pieces from the latest collections, each item viewed mark.'s team have "translated from runway to real-life in seconds". Some of the key features of this app are;

-meet mark.'s beauty & fashion experts

-browse the latest beauty & fashion trends

-watch videos of advice tips for beauty & fashion

-email their findings to friends (I like this element as it is interactive and is also a way of promotion almost, however the customers are doing it for the app! Very clever!)

Thanks mark.!!

as a mark rep, this will become a very handy tool for me!! =D i can't wait to use it, im glad we have one now!!

Nice interface, needs more options.

Love the app...nice interface and beauty videos are a plus! And it's free! Would be nice if u could add a button where we could be directed to the meet mark website thru the app if we wanna order, instead of exiting the app and going thru safari to order. Also, it says that there will only be two updates (spring 09 n fall 10)? I I think mark has more magalogs than that, like please include all seasonal magalogs if possible. I can't wait for the next update already; I'm so excited!! Overall, keep up the great work! This is perfect for me and others who can't always get the mark magalog often n need a preview of the latest mark cosmetics n fashions! This app really helps! Thanx!

Pointless

Pointless. No point to this app!


360 Fashion Mags:

A nice concept- users get access to a wide range of fashion magazines compacted down and designed specially to be compatible with the iPhone. It's like having loads of mini fashion mags at your hands whenever you want, without having to carry the hefty weight of them! A really good idea I think!




Unfortunately the Apple website only offered one review, however I'm going to be experimenting with a variety of apps so I will be able to get some reviews off my iPhone.

Love the idea of this mini magazine. The illustrations are great.
