A social shopping app that recommends curated items and reminds you of your friends' birthdays. I styled the login screen, coded the categories screen, and styled the top and bottom navbars.

Screenshots

After connecting the app with Facebook, Shoppit will automatically detect a few categories you'll like and save them to your profile. If your recommendations feel a bit stale, you can customize your them at any time by saving whatever categories interest you. Tap on the home screen again to see your dynamically-updated item feed. Find something you like? Swipe right to save it on your profile!

Connect to your friends without the hassle! Your friends list is automatically generated from your Facebook connections. Make sure you never forget a birthday again by tapping the bell icon next to a friend's name to subscribe to notifications. Need to get a friend something special? Simply browse their recently liked items on their profile. Just check out an item on their profile to find out more info, and once you find a match, buy it from Amazon directly within the app!

Motivations

We wanted to make an app that would make shopping on your phone social and fun!

We have all forgotten a friend or family member's birthday in the past, so we wanted an easy way we could check and get notified of upcoming birthdays AND then buy them something they actually wanted!
