Great BUT
I’d pay for this app in a second if I were able to edit it… I got my image to look pretty good when transferred… but there were spots I would like to fix the colors. It would be so easy if instead of marking my stitched if I could press the colors below to change some of the stitches with the colors already given.
I see that you guys have planned to add that feature so hopefully you do soon.

We really appreciate your feedback! The Editor function is already in our to-do list and we're investigating best ways to implement it in Magic Needle.
Great App
This is a great app. The best I have come cross so far. There are video tutorials on you tube and a Facebook group that helps answer any questions. I am so happy with the app I purchased it after a couple of days of using it. Well done Markup R-XP!
Couldn’t even use it
There was no way to upload an already made pattern to the app, it would use the image to create a new pattern and also doesn’t give an option to upload a pdf pattern to markup. I didn’t even use the app since I’m not copying a whole pattern into the system just so I can mark it up and the app doesn’t have anything that would upload it existing as an option

Thanks a lot for your feedback! We understand how important this feature for our customers, and at the moment we're working on it and will share with good news once it's up and running :)
Great, but needs to sync across devices
I love so much about this. Except that I cannot sync across devices. I could print out a list of the colors I need, but I find that the app tells me how much I already have and how much is needed for the project so I can just use it. However, I can’t access the -at terns I’ve made on my iPad on my iPhone.
Also, having the option to scan colors in and them auto populate would be a time saver.

Cross stitch to diamond painting canvas
Is there a way after you buy the pattern from a third party if will be a pdf file to load it to this app
Not user-friendly and not what I need
It’s okay for what it is, but it’s not what I’m looking for. I need a user-friendly program that will allow me to draw original designs from scratch, or at least edit my converted art images. I tried to create a pattern of hearts. The app left off the point on the bottom of the hearts, and I simply wanted to add one red square but wasn’t able to change it.

The worst
Total waste of money. They basically ask you to upgrade the basic app gets stuck and doesn’t work. DO NOT BOTHER
Love this app!
I absolutely adore this app. My one and only wish (why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5) is the ability to edit the pattern/colors after it’s been created. For example, an image on a white background used as a pattern automatically makes the background space allotted for white stitching, when it really should just be empty space. Another example, some outlining could have the colors adjusted once made into the pattern. Otherwise this app is amazing. I especially like the newest updates for marking stitches and how you view the pattern (day/night & color/greyscale).

Not a strong competitor, look for alternatives
I’m not really sure what the deal is with this app, but if I had to guess, I’d think the devs were trying to convert old positive reviews (which were given for functionality that no longer exists in the app) into new subscription revenue. The star rating at this time is highly deceptive.
I was excited about this app, as I’d read about its functionality from recommendations that were a couple of years old. As it turns out, the app has been dumbed down into an automated converter with very limited control (fabric size, pattern size, number of colors can be set; no option to edit individual stitches, adjust level of detail, change colors, etc.) and very little benefit from an expensive paid subscription. You can’t override any of the stitches determined by the pattern, modify PDF output settings, add your own stitches to a generated pattern, draw patterns manually, etc.
Don’t bother with this app unless the developed add the old functionality back in and make it a true competitor to the alternatives out there.

Thanks for such a detailed feedback! we really appreciate your time and help for us to understand which other features is required by our clients. Your ideas are great and we will do our best to add majority of these features in the nearest future. We do apologies if our app didn't meet your expectations and we'll do everything to change it as we do love cross stitching and love passionate stitchers like you.
New update
Not sure what they have done to this but it now charges me monthly and is less user friendly and has less features
