Save Your Wardrobe: Organiser

I wanted a simple, clean, visual format, and this app delivers. But it is time-consuming and frustrating to upload images from photos in file. I finally gave up.

I was overwhelmed with the closet organization/fashion apps. After reading some reviews, I chose this one and I’m glad I did. I’ve only had it for short time and I’ve only uploaded a few items but so far I think this is going to be exactly what I was looking for. I wanted some thing where I could add wardrobe items and make outfits, and add them to my calendar so that I could plan out my work wardrobe in advance based on events, weather, etc. I do not plan to painstakingly catalog everything at once, but as I wear things, and when I find time, I am snapping the pics so far, I’ve had no trouble with the background remover. It’s not great, but not terrible either I don’t need it to be awesome.

I downloaded the app because it sounded like a great way to track my wardrobe for sustainability, use of various clothing items, and to put together outfits visually in order to quickly browse through pre-made looks so I don’t have to think about it the day of. When trying to sign up, I first selected to sign up via email. I immediately received the email to verify, but when I clicked on the link it took me to the app to the same page that tells me to look for the verification email. After trying a few times, I manually selected to open in safari and was given a page telling me my email had been successfully verified and to return to the app and login. When I tried to it wouldn’t let me. Thinking I must have entered the password incorrectly when signing up, I tried to select forgot password. It said it would send me another email with a link, but I never received one. After trying multiple times, checking my junk folder, and waiting 10 minutes, I decided to try signing up with google instead as it may be an easier process. In order to sign up via Google the app wanted access to view and search my emails. That seems really sketch to me and I wasn’t comfortable with that at all. I tried one last time to recover my password before I finally just deleted the app from my phone. I’m really disappointed because it seems like a great concept but upon further inspection now seems to be a way for them to phish your info.

I love organizing things and I want to make an effort to consume less. This app helps me keep track of what I own and how I can use it. I really appreciate that it’s free without ads as well. My only issue with it is that the clothing categories in the womenswear section are a bit limited.

I absolutely love this app. However, I wanted to download an app so that after I upload my clothes it would give me an option for the app to give me a recommended outfit or a randomized outfit. I love what this app has so far but almost every other app has this feature and I think if SYW had this feature, I would definitely recommend this for my friends.

I wanted to love this app but after using it for over a year I’m giving up. The user interface is not compatible for easy use, picture boxes for clothes are far too big and often crop images weirdly. I understand The focus is on sustainability but there’s far too many things going on at once to make it an easy to use and navigate closet app like I wanted. The design could use some serious streamlining and easier filter and folder methods and organization

I love this app and I probably have used it everyday since I downloaded it 9 months ago. It’s so convenient seeing my closet and having the app remove the background of my photos. That’s a great feature. I also like that it categorizes that clothing, tells you what percent of your wardrobe you wear, tells you how good the brand is, let’s you create outfits, and lots more. I will say, this app really lacks in its speed and is technologically behind. It lags regardless of my wifi connection and you cannot easily go through one section of the app to the other. If this app was fast running I would love this app more than life itself.

The app doesn’t allow you to input how much time you’ve owned a piece, so ratings about your wardrobe’s sustainability are mostly superficial and related to brand, not whether or not you’ve kept your clothes from going in the dumpster. Many sustainability problems have to do with waste. A Reformation dress that you wear once and throw away is not necessarily sustainable, even though the brand rates very highly on this app. It’s a well designed enough app, with some cool features, but for anyone whose been into sustainability for a while, it lacks nuance. The app seems mostly like a way to encourage shoppers to buy expensive brands, which not all of us can afford. An H&M shirt that you’ve had for five years is still sustainable - in its own way. The most important part is keeping your clothes and caring for them in whatever way you can to avoid creating waste. If you’re new to these concepts the app might be fun, if not, I wouldn’t recommend it for the purposes of sustainability. I can’t comment on the other features as I’ve always done my own alterations and therefore did not try the hire a tailor option.

Save Your Wardrobe: has a good item entry field for fabric content AND to record care/washing instructions (though wish these were incorporated in data/stats, especially how cool could it be if it told you which things could be in shared washloads??), includes Good On You sustainability ratings for brands (though database is v limited), crashes sadly often and has glitches in size options, has no background remover, pre-populated database lacking most brands, produces great and easy-to-access data on brands in your wardrobe, wardrobe footprint, and percentage worn, has a sustainability focus with featured blogs etc. (tho won’t let me unlock it w/o checking out their tailoring/repair services which are only in London and I’m not even on that continent lol). Whering: is mostly glitch free, has a pretty good auto background remover, makes collaging and putting together outfits a breeze, has a good database of brands already (though typing to search sometimes doesn’t work), has an okay database of generic clothing items (but only things & cuts that are currently super trendy), has a sustainability focus with used item listings featured, allows you to tag items as used or not. (Still UK oriented. Which is fine.) Could y’all please just compare notes? Join forces??? Whering works better but doesn’t give me a bunch of the cool data I want from SYW. SYW has image and database and UI issues but really great data and closest metrics. Y’all both have sustainability focus. Please???

The idea is good, I absolutely love some of the features, but the main appeal of an app like this is keeping track of when/where you wore an outfit. I’ve tried to correct it again and again but the calendar refuses to show the outfit icon on the proper date on the calendar, it always shows it on the day before. Also, categories are missing (vests) (capris), and the ability to add our own categories would be great!
