The concept for Abodyai is great! However the execution is relatively poor and it needs a lot more refinement and precision built in before it will be useful in any meaningful way.
Abodyai is apparently intended for businesses to use, but it doesn’t say anything about that in Abodyai Store or on Abodyai itself. As soon as you download Abodyai , it requires you to either login through Facebook, Google, or by using an invitation code (which it now seems a business is supposed to provide to the user). However there’s no information on Abodyai nor in Abodyai Store about how to get the invitation (apparently you’re just supposed to know that it’s intended to be provided by a business partnering with Abodyai ). Otherwise you can let FB or Google have your body measurements, to use however THEY see fit (um, no thanks).
I was provided an invitation code in reply to my original 1 Star rating (relating back to the invitation code and my inability to use Abodyai without it). After getting the code I reloaded Abodyai and I followed the instructions very precisely to take my measurements over 1/2 dozen times, in the same location, during two sessions just a few hours apart. Unfortunately, the results were wildly inconsistent. It measured my shoulders anywhere from 19” to 37” across and my trousers waist anywhere between 34” to 41” around, just as an example. It consistently evaluated my body-type as an A-line (often commonly referred to as Pear Shaped), when in-fact my body type is more Rectangular (H Line or even a slight V Line). My shoulders are in fact very broad (20” across, 46” around) and my trousers waist is 36” around (this is NOT an A Line). Abodyai somehow correctly assessed that my Jacket size is a 12, but it got it wrong by listening my dress size as a 14 (a 12 dress is usually a little snug in the shoulders, but fits great elsewhere) and a 14 looks like I must have lost a bunch of weight but haven’t downsized yet. Abodyai also incorrectly put me in size 10 slacks. In fact size 8 slacks are somewhat baggy, and size 6 fits my but, hips and thighs perfectly, but are sometimes snug in the waist. You might as well throw darts at a size chart (ranging 2 sizes above or below your actual size) to guess your best size as well as to rely on Abodyai.
Hopefully the developers will consider adding some refinements to the photo measurement process (possibly having the user fine-tune the spots Abodyai has identified as the points of measurement). But for now it’s just not accurate enough to be of any real value to the end user.
