My Mall Shopping – create your own virtual mall from your favorite sellers
Woot Watch – flash sales app
Coupon Sherpa – mobile coupons app
CardStar – track your rewards cards
Red Laser – scan barcodes and retrieve product info including prices
QuickPing – uses the Ping.fm network and API to broadcast updates to multiple social networks; you can imagine how this might be used as notifications between users
SnapTell – already an iTunes store classic this great app just gets better with time; quickly take a picture of a movie, video game, cd, or book and it will find it for you; that’s right, not the barcode or ISBN but the actual cover itself! unfortunately, this is just the US catalog for now but they’re promising to expand their catalog
How To Videos – learn how to do just about anything by viewing videos from the howcast.com network
PhotoNote – quick and simple; snap a pick and add a note; that’s it! app would be better with a default configuration to optionally upload to a preferred photo hosting service

10 iPhone Fashion Apps

February 22nd, 2010 § 0

TrendStop TrendTracker – track the latest fashion trends just as they’re hitting the runways
Stylish Girl – virtual closet to catalog your outfits; share with friends and shop online; if you liked this, you may want to check out their Cool Guy app for the fellas
ChicFeed – photos taken from the latest fashion blogs; fashion is meant to be seen and admired; this app gets that and features great photos from popular fashion blogs; now imagine you overlay a shopping component to it
Social Mall – shopping malls in the palm of your hand that includes social group shopping features; I liked this app because they captured an important essence of shopping IRL (in real life), the social aspect! you can send invites, track who’s coming, chat, and even find each other in the mall by location; this app’s creators get it, and I look forward to more enhancements from them
myFendi – Fendi brand mobile shop; there are lots of great brands coming online as iPhone apps, so be sure to check them out; included Fendi here because I appreciated the restraint to keep the app simple and easy to browse through the Fendi product line; didn’t have a chance to go through all the other fashion brand apps, but I can guess there are others that will have even more engaging features
Sales Buddy – what shopaholic doesn’t like a sale?! track how much you’ve spent; better yet, how much you’ve saved!
Closet Friend – I wouldn’t buy this app, but I wanted to show an interesting idea that didn’t quite live up to implementation; track when you last wore that outfit and where; that by itself is lacking but you can quickly imagine where you could go with this app if you integrated it with a shopping and social aspect; note: links to developer website and support are dead links; listed here as concept only
ChicWalks – this app differs a bit from all the other “near me” shopping apps in that it focuses on a walking shopping trip; stores as well as places to eat or grab a refreshment are included with helpful GPS maps; trips were chosen by fashion and shopping journalists, bloggers, and professionals; really like this app, great way to explore a city if shopping is your thing
ShopStyle – gorgeous photos take center stage as this app focuses on a few well-chosen fashion categories; links to retailer; bonus: save favorites and send to friends by email and Twitter
iShoes – shoes take center stage as this mobile app lets you do searches on shoe style; detailed shoe attributes are returned, along with links to webshop; bonus: save favorites; you may also like myShoeBox
