Total waste
I spent hours entering photos of my wardrobe only to find out that I put the looks together.
No help from the app.
I wasted my time. I don’t need the app to do it all myself.

Not to help you style outfits
I thought this was suppose to help you style your outfits and it doesnt the hype was a let down
Wrong app for Men. Look for "Stylebook Men" instead.
Purchased this to start tracking my closet, but saw several typically female-gendered categories such as "dresses" and "heels" but missing typically male-gendered categories like "suits" or "dress shoes". Couldn't find an option to change category names or add new ones, or an option in settings that would switch. Upon further research there's another app called "Stylebook Men" that has these categories but is a separate app with a separate purchase. Unfortunately it seems that Apple doesn't allow refunds for this app.
Not intended for Men
Heard about this app from a recent news article and thought it would be a great way to organize. Read through the details and nowhere does it describe this as a woman’s app. The company makes an app specifically for men, but this is not it. They should make that known in the product details. If I had known, I never would have purchased this. I have absolutely no use for it.
Can’t clip from websites anymore
Every time i add a link to clip a product from a website the app crashes. This was my favorite feature for adding in new clothes since the image quality was typically better and now I can’t use it
Wish I hadn’t synced!
Syncing seemed like a great upgrade! But even though I first synced my main device, syncing duplicated items and added back items I had deleted. Now I have to go back through every category. Ugh! I DID NOT SYNC THE DEVICES SIMULTANEOUSLY. IT WAS AT LEAST A WEEK APART.
AI 👎
I’ve been using this app for a while and was pretty disappointed to see the addition of generative AI in the most recent update. You can’t even opt out of the AI auto cropping when you add an item.
Please get rid of the tip!
I am never going to sync to the cloud. I do not need a tip every time I open the app telling me to do it. If I was going to, I would have done it already. I also don’t like the red warning sign that appears by the sync symbol. It ruins the look of the app. Seriously considering moving to another option after 10 years. Why did you ruin it?
Update ruined it
It was great before the update, now I regret paying for it.
The constant notifications to back up (I don’t want to, I have my reasons) and the constant “how to use the app” pop ups all over the place make it next to unusable. I’ve been using the app since 2023? I know how to use it at this point.

Update buggy :(
Oh no! I have used this app for months with no issue. It was always pretty basic and had a few annoying manual features, but now that the new update was released it keeps crashing on me. Major bummer.
Update is horrible
I have bought this app 3 times on 3 different Apple IDs. I’ve used it for almost the entire time it’s been around. The last update is so bad, it keeps telling me to sync and nobody is using this “style expert” tab… I deleted it after almost a decade of use
Feature Requests
The app is ok. It’s good to visualize what I own.
I would like there to be easier import and export features via .csv so I can import items in mass or update meta data like brand, url and price if I already had it separately logged. I also don’t see why there’s a men’s app sold separately with all the same features. I would like this app to just be able to toggle the app icon and in app theme.
I’d like a desktop companion app too.

Useful but
For some reason, items that I add keep getting erased. I save them and see them in the Closet, then a few days later they are gone. I contacted the developer but it has been two weeks and no response.
Advanced Editing window too small
I've been using this app for years and the editing was always great. With the new update it has taken a step back. The advanced editing window is tiny (on my iPad anyway) and the zoom in and out feature for getting in close has completely disappeard.
Detection for Adding Images is Cumbersome
I’ve been using this app to organize my closet for years. It’s been straightforward and intuitive. The new update puzzled me because it addresses things that have always worked. One of which adding new images of clothing pieces. I like to thrift and those images usually involve a mannequin. Instead of erasing it, I crop as much of it out and what’s left unobtrusively remains in the picture. Post update, every time I add a new piece, the auto detect feature with erase a few spots in the picture. It’s made adding thrifted pieces a pain. Please let me know how to revert the update.
Hate the new AUTO Editer of photos
Tried to input photo of a new pair of sandals and the auto editer took off the entire white platform sole making the shoe look flat and there doesn’t seem to be a way for me to fix it.
Need refund
I accidentally downloaded the app and it charged me for the subscription that I never intended to purchase. Now there is not contact info from this app, I am not sure who I can contact, this is annnoying
