I tested this app for weeks on end, watching it improve over the course of months until it was finally ready for market. I have found the user experience to be very enjoyable. The layout is clear like Instagram and the app works very smoothly. Its quite an interactive app as you can chat to other others, like their pictures, rate them and follow your favorites. This app has a couple of extra features, which brings the fashion community closer together such as the blog. This app is a very useful tool for fashionistas across the globe and definitely one to watch out for in the future. You can find Ragsbox on Twitter and Instagram @ragsbox. Its also available to download on the App & Play stores.
