DressApp: Organize, plan and share your wardrobe from your Android

Sure many girls find it a hack this application. We can not say the same for the boys, but one may be encouraged to do so. We talked about DressApp, an Android app that lets you create your own clothing catalog with what we have stored in the closet. The idea is to have all items stored in one place for easy reference when we want, to teach, and not repeat the same sets over and over. Finally, an application for girls who care about their appearance.

How many times have you said out loud that you do not know what to wear? How often have doubted whether what you're going to put the same thing you wore the last time? DressApp kills all the circumstances. First, lets you store all those items that have in the closet, with their photographs. It contains four sections: upper garment, lower garment, footwear and accessories. In addition, sets can be created by combining the different clothes we have, so that we can think about how to combine well what we have and use it when we do not know what to wear. In turn, when we buy new clothes, we can take some time to create new sets, sure that love is something that many of the girls who read us.

The best is the calendar that is fitted, which allows us to assign a number to each day of the month, so keep a record of what we put each of those days. Moreover, not only do we use to store what we got, but what we're going to put in the future, ie, plan an agenda on how we are going to wear. The developers assure us they are working on new features.

Right now you can add details like brand, price and season garments as well as add tags, useful for marking the size, color, material and fabric, etc. However, this still has no functionality, but it is certain that in future we will organize the clothes. Interestingly, hoping that soon can synchronize the application with DressApp web servers, so that is accessible from the PC, and can transfer data from one phone to another, keeping our closet in the cloud.
