Before the e-commerce revolution, there was only one way to shop – to visit the store, try on things and buy them. Fast forward to today when you open an app on your device, check out product images and descriptions, and then buy them. How things have changed!
While online shopping has helped us save time and access a variety of options, it still can’t beat the try-before-you-buy experience. What if you could enjoy the benefits of old school and new age shopping at the same time? That is what the creators of the TRYO app promise! You can try things virtually and buy them if you like – old wine in a new bottle!
After spending some time with the app, I came to some interesting conclusions. Follow (pun intended) ahead to find out more!
What is the TRYO app?
When I first opened the app, I had a quirky sunglasses on my face that reminded me of a Snapchat filter. It was fun, cool and surprisingly good! But no, the application is not only filters! It includes the actual shopping products.
TRYO uses augmented reality to deliver products to your smartphone. The library is also quite large, with over 500 products in various categories.
How TRYO can help you choose the right products
While we may all have different views on the future of humanity, we can all agree that augmented reality is inevitable and will become part of our daily lives. Until recently, hardware limitations have slowed down the development of augmented reality. It’s not like that anymore. With technological progress, AR is becoming more and more versatile, with AR apps, AR games, and now AR shopping.
Rather than mindlessly scrolling through shopping sites, trying out a product virtually on TRYO will allow users to make smarter purchasing decisions.
Shopping with AR is not new; many e-commerce platforms have tried their hand at this. However, unlike the others, TRYO has a more focused focus on augmented reality shopping. As a result, he managed to bring some features to the screen.
Features that make TRYO stand out
- Easy setup: no matter how good the app is, if the installation is painful, it can cause users to abandon the app. Luckily, the folks at TRYO have made the installation process as easy as checking out the product.
- Try products without visiting the store: Speaking of an app, how can we not discuss its key function? Opportunity to try products in AR! Thanks to this, you will be able to find out if the item is right for you.
- World Class Brands: Although TRYO is a new player in the market, it features recognizable brands. I went in with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised to see popular ones like RayBan, Balenciaga, Gucci, Rolex and many more!
- Fashion Products: With the best brands come the best products. The TRYO product catalog consists of more than 500 products, which are regularly updated. The best part is that they will please those who are looking for fashion items. Most users will feel like a kid in a candy store.
- Easy to buy: Another problem I’ve run into is exit. I wondered if the app could only let you try these products. But, fortunately, this was not the case. All you have to do is click “Buy Now”and you will be taken to the official product page!
Use the TRYO app on iPhone to find the product of your choice
The process is simple. Open the app and select the product icon you want to select. After selecting the desired category, swipe between the models to choose from. If you are confused, you can also check out the fashion section where you can see the latest trends, a delight for fashion lovers.
There is also the option to switch between colors. In addition, you can use the search button to open the TRYO brand and product directory, where you can select the product of your choice.
After selecting a product, depending on the product, the application will configure the cameras accordingly and give you the necessary instructions.
For those who are camera shy (no, I don’t judge) or those who want a 360-degree view, click the Eye It button and you can check out every bit and byte of the product here. That’s not all; You can share the product with your friends and let them share their thoughts.
Best of all, save the product and check for later (yes, I know the pain of not having money and still looking at the product of my dreams 🥲). There’s even an option to take pictures with the merchandise (yes, you can chat about Gucci without having it in real life 🤓).
What I liked about the TRYO app
On the one hand, the app is amazing and tempts me to try more products. The product catalog was extensive, with recognizable brands. Once the app detects you, the product basically adapts well.
Funky UI keeps the app fresh. It’s futuristic and balances all the important aspects, making you applaud the user interface. As you use the app, you’ll know that the developers have been hard at work optimizing the app and making AR work smoothly. The augmented reality mode is easy to use and helps make purchasing decisions.
Among the many other features of the app, my favorite was the Eye It mode, which allows users to get a 360-degree view of an object of interest. Keep in mind that all of these features are available for free!
There is room to grow
Not everything is as pleasant as getting the right product on the first try, and the same goes for TRYO.
While the user interface is well thought out, some may still prefer to have more instructions on certain menus (or buttons) and how they work. Because for many, AR is still relatively new. They’ll only know how great an app is when you show them how user-friendly and intuitive the features are.
While I liked the simple catalog, I would appreciate more detailed categories such as necklaces, earrings, and more. In addition, the clarity of images displayed in augmented reality mode can be improved, if possible, as well as in Eye It mode.
Another great addition would be a camera switch. I wanted to see how good the sunglasses look on my friend, but I had to take my phone to him for him to check. Along with this, the ability to try several products at the same time will significantly improve the experience with the application.
Who should get this app?
TRYO is an application that can be recommended mainly to users who want to try on products before buying. The application is recommended for those who are fed up with the usual online shopping habits and who want to try something new. Since the app is free, anyone can try it without losing any money (unless you’re a shopaholic: P).
