Hi, Debbie, I’m interested in finding out more about the Wayaround app. I listen to Rick’s countdown every week and have also listened toyour country show on occasion. I want some kind of labeling system which will be reliable. I usually pin on color tags or buttons but they come off in the washing machine and I get confused with colors. I have been using Tap Tap See and Seeing AI to get the colors of clothing items but am not sure if I am doing it accurately. Any help would be appreciated.
