Free DIYFather App to help you dress your child

DIYFather's first iPhone App solves one of the essential parenting dramas for dads – “how to dress your child to get wife approval”. “Dressify” is a free App that provides dads with an instant result on whether their little princess is dressed well enough to leave the house or needs to be changed.

The Dressify App uses face recognition and a proprietary “dress sense” algorithm to judge the outfit of your kids –you gotta see it to believe it. Download Dressify here – it’s totally free.

Dressify will take the stress out of dressing your kid and gives you the definitive answer on whether you child is dressed well. Use the Dressify result to settle arguments with your partner, impress your buddies/other parents or instill a sense of superiority in your child.

A gift for separated dads on Fathers Day 2011

Media Release
Tuesday 30 August 2011, Wellington NZ


Separating dads can now get information in ‘no-bull man-speak’ thanks to a project launched today.

New Zealand-based website DIYFather.com is releasing an online resource for separated dads on Fathers Day. The material includes 30 articles on topics such as legal rights, parenting during and after separation, and how to get help. “We wanted to do something for separated dads because many of them can't enjoy Father's Day with their whole family, and some don't even have access to their kids,” says DIYFather director Stefan Korn.

The project was originally inspired by requests from dads for practical information on separation. Korn explains that during the research for this project it became clear that there is a lot of confusing information available for separated dads and often the language or tone used by information provides is not helpful.

Desperately seeking separated dads

We are in the final stages of releasing a resource for separated dads - so we are looking for some volunteers to have a look at the material we have put together and give us feedback on it. If you are a separated dad and would be interested in helping other dads by making our material even better, please contact us.

THANK YOU!
