Mobile Makeover?

Mobile Makeover?

by | Apr 11, 2014 | Mobile Apps

Sometimes people ask “Why did you name your company Mobile Makeover?”

In a recent study by Google  The majority of mobile users use “Search” in the shopping process. Their research influences purchasing decisions and if your website is not mobile optimized you could be losing business. More than 1/2 the websites I come across need a makeover for mobile so that they are easy to read and navigate.  Businesses need to makeover their intenet stategies for the legions of tablets and smartphones in everyone’s pocket, purse, coffee table and study.

There is a huge market for beauty makeovers. This super app Makeover Premium for $2.99 on Apple App Store and Google Play by Modiface.com is best in class. ModiFace was founded by applying academic (Stanford) facial recognition research towards the simulation of skin-care effects on photos. In order to truly make the simulations realistic, they invented technology to digitally analyze and understand skin conditions from images.  They are listed in INC Magazine’s 500/5000 fastest growing companies and as of this writing boast over 33 million downloads.

I was looking for an app that the business Girl on the Go could use to help them pick out wigs for cancer patients.  You can use a pre-existing photo or take one with your camera.  In addition to short, medium, long, and blond wig styles there is face, lip, and eye make-up as well. You can alter the shade and intensity of the shade of each of the make-up and hair updates. Modiface has several other productsMakeUp,  Facelift, and Photo Editor.  This app is best suited for someone in the beauty business. That being said if you need a new look for your Linked In or Facebook profile try one of these Modiface Apps.

Save the Date!

I’ve always admired other people who seemed so organized when they whipped out their daily planner to check their calendar and make appointments.  I tried, but I never had my daily planner with me when I was out with friends and family. The planner seemed too much like work for me to bring it along and it was too big to fit in my small purse.

Then came the smart phone and we all carry them with us everywhere.  A few months ago I was organizing my Samsung Galaxy which allows you to put widgets or icons on your screen and ran across the monthly calendar widget. It’s fantastic! The whole month is displayed on your phone, tap to add appointments, email reminders, alarm reminders, sync with Google Calendar and more.  Search for calendar widget on Google Play.  So now when I need to Save the Date you can be admired for your organizational acumen.
