Not even close...

Seeing a beautiful dress or shirt that you know would look great on you can be frustrating when you cant find it anywhere. I had such high hopes for this app.

The app is easy to use. Either take a photo or upload a photo you already have. Then choose from Womens Dresses, Womens Shirts or Mens Shirts.

After uploading my photo:

•A strapless dress in pink champagne with large soft pink flowers with a sweetheart bustline, nipped in waist and full skirt. Gloria Estefan on the cover of the Sams Club magazine Healthy Living was my photo source.•

I was shown about 25/-30 dresses. Some of the dresses were in the same color range, but none resembled the dress in any way.

The instructions say to crop out any extraneous images for the best results. I tried several different crops, all had the same results.

The premise of the app is wonderful. If the app worked - I would have no issue paying for the service. This would also be an app that I would share with friends. Including a social feature to the app would be fun & helpful too.

I hope the developers continue to work on improving the app.
