Great Start... Needs More
There are a few things really keeping this from being completely usefull. As of right now, Im usinging it, but not the way its intended. Since there arent many options to sort and find things in your wardrobe I am stuck naming all the outfits "casual, semi-formal, and formal" and in the note field I specify the weather the outfit can be used for. Here are a couple of things that NEED to be added and fixed for this to sell. Apon these changes my rating will go to 5 stars. Im am going to list the features that this program needs to have in order to be fully useful.
1) (ADDED WITH 4.1) When the program opens, it opens like I have never even used the program. When I make the window larger, make the items larger in the catagory and outfit list I can see them, when I close the program it goes back to default. This is annoying and should not happen. It should open exactly where and how I left it before I closed the program.
2)(ADDED WITH 4.1) Its great that I can drop in pictures and have them automatically put into my library. Why not be able to drag multiple pictures in. It would make the initial setup much more seemless.
3) A View all feature. There should be a way to view all the items at the same time. That way you can sort all of them.
Sorting features - Without these following abilities, the wardobes are a mess
4) Sort by the overhead weather display. I should be able to press that and for it to auto sort the item and/or the outfit.
5) Like 4 you should be able to specify and sort outfits based on the weather they are best for. This can be as easy as implimenting the same 3 button weather approach that you use for items, for outfits.
6) In the outfits list, there is a lot of wasted space. You should be able to sort the outfit on a magnitude of user preferences, not just name and notes. I have no desire to sort by name or notes.
6a) Sort outfits by last date worn. Events are ok but you have to go into the outfit to see when you last wore it. If there is a quick button that says "Worn Today" and the list updates that would be far more usefull.
6b) Sort outfits by favorite outfit. Items really dont need to be sorted that way, the outfits do.
6c) "View all outfits with this item" I know you have this feature but the way it is implemented is not user friendly. Its more confusing. You should be able to right click and get options of and item. Or in the item view you can hit "View all outfits with this"
7) I like that there is a packing list, but I should be able to drag and drop entire outfits into the packing list. It should sort them by catagory and you should be able to print it out. So when dragging entire outfits, you can quickly pack the items AND see what entire outfits you packed.
8) Duplicate outfits so you can easliy create new combinations.
9) Duplicate catagories so you can have a similar looking picture but with a different name. I dont care for the folded shirt look when I want to specify other items, such as shorts, which there is no picture for. I know you can drop pictures into the catagory but it is still over the folded shirt look.
10) (ADDED WITH 4.1) Sort catagories. This should work similar to how most iphone apps with the black bar at the bottom. I should be able to sort the catagories based on what I use most to be on top. I have added a catagory of shorts that I wear a lot, yet to add to an outfit I keep having to scroll to the bottom. Coats is on top and I rarely use them.
11) An actual sync to the iphone would help. Everytime you change your wardrobe you have to download the entire wardrobe again to your iphone.
I feel that these are extremely useful suggestions that you should use. With all of these implemented, there wont be any more reviews like "not worth the money" that I can see has already detered more than 60 potential buyers.
12) what happened to the amplify feature. If I cant see exactly what Im looking at, I dont know what I put together.
Good luck and look forward to seeing updates!
