Utter rubbish
I would like a refund please as this is garbage. Certainly not clear or easy to understand. Can’t even find “how to” videos online to help. No instructions and just not fit for purpose. Also you can’t even easily send this review without a nickname which seems everything you enter is taken.
Waste of energy and money
I bought this app to compliment my Macstitch software, so I could edit my charts while away from the laptop, and take advantage of using my Apple Pencil. Firstly, it doesn’t work with a cloud so you need to go old school and do a file transfer using cables from iPad to the Mac (a bit long but ok I was willing). After all that effort, the app didn’t recognise my files, which was more than frustrating. So I thought, ok I’ll use the app directly to make charts. As I like to make round charts I need a square format, for some reason it will only set the width and does an automatic height giving a rectangular canvas. Suffice to say, this app does NOT meet any of my needs. At £10.99 I’d expect more functionality and frankly a better standard. Doesn’t come close to the brilliance of Macstitch. Do better.

Unusably Buggy
I should have paid attention to the reviews. This program is unusably buggy. I can’t get anything done. What a colossal waste of money. I love winstitch and was excited to have something to use on the go with a compatible file type. Unfortunately this program is not it. I’ll go back to sketching in other apps and manually transferring.

Resize option?
Great app but please make it so we can change the size of the design. For example being able to adjust width and height without jeopardising the pattern.
Can be frustrating when you’ve finished designing a pattern and yhere is too much blank space around but removing white space cuts off too close to the design. Would prefer to do it manually

App
It’s fantastic I love it
Rubbish
Hi could you please put money back into my account please as I don’t understand how to play it
DO NOT PURCHASE
I just bought this app and it is constantly freezing, won’t save work
Okay, but needs work. Very glitchy.
EDIT: This app needs serious help! Several times, I’ve started new designs, named them, saved them, made lots of progress, saving as I go. THEN, the next time I open the app the file is completely gone!!! Why?!? It’s infuriating!
I’ve had MacStitch for a few years, and hoped this would work as well, or better. However, it’s very glitchy. The app just deleted a section of a design that I didn’t want to delete! When using the selection tool, the menu comes up asking if I want to copy, erase, flip, etc. When I choose ‘Erase’ the area I selected isn’t affected at all. However, a random area nearby is deleted. It happens every time I try it. It’s also annoying that although I can use the ‘Cloth’ option to erase/delete whole stitches in a rectangular selection in one step, I have to delete back stitches one square at a time. It’s tedious. Being able to rotate the canvas would be very useful.

Response from developer
HI. Sorry to hear about this. We have addressed the deletion of incorrect area (this happened after scrolling the image) , and added a new option to erase backstitch from a selected area. These fixes will be in V1.3, currently in the Apple review pipeline.
Does not function with uploading images
I was hoping to use this in tandem with procreate in turning my line drawings into cross stitch patterns. The uploads never work. All you receive is a blank screen. Honestly it was faster using grid paper with out this function working.
Response from developer
Hi. We are confident that uploading bitmaps /photos does work. Perhaps the line drawings you are making with procreate are a vector style image.
Rip off
I paid money for this and it don’t even work. I tried several different images that I have, I’m left with a blank screen. Don’t waste your time. Wish I could get a refund.
