This study explores consumer adoption of a fashion lifelogging app (FLA) using the four constructs of the UTAUT2 model. To answer the research questions, empirical data from an online survey was collected, using a sample of participants experienced in using the FLA 'Clothbox', consisting of questions on app usage, UTAUT2 factors, and intentions to use. The study found that utilizing the record feature significantly influenced performance expectancy, effort expectancy, hedonic motivation, and habits. The report feature had a significant effect on performance expectancy. The share feature had a significant effect on social influence. The search feature affected performance expectancy, habits, and social influence. Performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and habits were identified as factors affecting intention to use the FLA. Hedonic motivation and social influence had no significant effect on intention to use the FLA. This research has key significance because it comprises a comprehensive examination of the utility of the UTAUT2 model in determining the influence of UTAUT factors on the adoption of a FLA. The study provides a valuable resource for mobile app developers, planners, and marketers, because it offers insights into how to develop apps that enhance fashion lifelogging experiences for smartphone users.
