ShopLook - Outfit Maker 4+

I love this app but....

Polyvore was one of my go to apps, I would use it everyday to relieve stress and just have something to do during my free time. I was obviously devastated when the app shutdown, all of my years of hard work and meeting people on the app who love fashion as much as I do was gone and it’s hurt. When I found ShopLook I was excited, now I can continue doing what I love. But this new “premium” feature is just outrageous! $3.99 a month just to upload a picture or use background removers is just down right shameful! With everything that is going on in the world, I’m not even sure if I’ll be able to work during the summer and I’m a full-time college student! I just find it upsetting how I would have to pay $3.99 each month just to use features on this app that were free before. I really love this app but if features like this will be continued to be added I’m afraid I will have to delete the app and look else where for other apps similar to this one. I hope it doesn’t come down to that but Polyvore did not have its users pay to upload pictures from their phone. I will continue to use this app but if I have to pay for features that’s should be free I will be deleting it.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for taking the time to write this feedback. We completely understand your frustration and if it was up to us, we would keep everything in ShopLook free forever. The reality is that doing so would require us to shut down ShopLook for good as we can no longer continue to support the costs on our own (which we have been doing to-date). Polyvore, sadly, ran into the same problem. Premium features have been added as an option for users who want to contribute to our future while getting access to more advanced features only. To clarify, the ability to add images from camera roll is NOT a premium feature and remains free. You can expect that all existing features will continue to be free.

why I didn’t list it 5 stars

I love this app so freaking much, and it’s the greatest thing since Polyvore. So bless whoever made this app! Just a few things!! 1. I hate how much it crashes. 2. It randomly logs me out sometimes and it’s so annoying? 3. I hate how it removes your rank if you haven’t posted in a few days. People can’t be on it 24/7, aha. 4. SO NOW THERES SOME SILLY PREMIUM THING ? Oh no honey, what is you doin’... polyvore wasn’t like this at ALL. I’m not paying for SH*T. Sorry, not sorry. I’m way too poor, and this app is a huge freaking stress reliever for me. But, if things are going to start getting really sucky with not being able to do anything because of this new premium or whatever you’re calling it. I’m going to delete the app, honestly. I hate when really good apps downgrade so hard like this. What’s next? Tons of apps? You have to watch an app each time you search an item?
I liked how it was free before to upload pictures from my camera roll onto it, now I’ll have to have the premium thing? Hell no.

Edit: thanks for responding to my review! I now understand and sorry for being mean, I wasn’t trying to be one of /those/ types of reviewers. ♥️

The reality is that doing so would require us to shut down ShopLook forever as we can no longer continue to support the costs on our own (which we have been doing to-date). We plan to keep the core of ShopLook free including the ability to add images from your camera roll. This feature is actually NOT a part of the premium offer and it remains free. Anything that you do now will continue to remain free. Premium features have been added as an option for users who want to contribute to our future while getting access to more advanced features only. Related to your concern on crashes, the next time this happens to you, can you please submit a bug report directly from the app (it can be found in the setting tab). This will send important information about your crash to us to help us fix it. On your feedback about the status system, we understand this feedback. We had designed this to reward the most active users and points are not lost for 90 days since they are earned. We will continue to see what we can do to make this system better.

Only 4 stars because….

Im sure you’ve heard that ShopLook is equivalent to the Polyvore app, and in many ways it’s even better. I honestly don’t mind paying the monthly fee to access everything it has to give the best sets if it helps develop the app to perform better in the future. There are 2 things that are extremely frustrating with this app and is the only reasons for the 4 stars. One is that can crash and when it does you lose EVERYTHING you were currently working on. Polyvore would crash, BUT it would automatically save it into your drafts so it wouldn’t be lost. The second gripe I have is, IF you do save something you cannot access it from any of the challenges that you were working on before the crash. So the point to save anything into draft is useless, because you can’t even access it to try and recreate it by glancing at it. You must start completely over. This app is extremely helpful and useful for someone like me with extreme anxiety and PTSD. It’s relaxing in way that makes you focus on whatever you’re working on. It really gets the creative juices flowing. I really love it and hope these things can be added soon. Thank you to everyone that created this app.
