I love this app but I wish it was better
First of all I use this app everyday. When it comes to designing a name tag or a birthday pattern I use this app first. However. I think there would be some features that would make it so much better. For example. Make it easier to use the line tools. Once the line is down. It is hard to erase it. I think either by adding a line eraser or even making erase Ong a line more accurate would make adding outlines so much easier. With that said. I think another addition that would be great is layers. Like other painting apps. You add layers to edit the picture without ruining a drawn on layer. By adding layers it will make tweaking and experiment with designs much easier.Show lessBzhzhxhxhndnxjxj
Colors won’t select...
The program itself is pretty easy to use. However, once I made a pattern, deleted a few colors I decided not to use, and went back to the main screen, it will not allow me to select any colors than the first four. I have tried saving, tapping all over the color icons...nothing. For a program that’s $8, I would expect to not have little bugs like this. If this gets fixed, I’ll give it 5 stars for sure!Show lessGuenevereM
Works with Apple Pencil
This program does exactly what I was looking for AND works with my Apple Pencil. Not everything works with it (like color selection) but I can use it to draw my pattern and that’s all I wanted. A little glitchy at times and doesn’t auto save so be sure to save regularly because it does crash occasionally. Worth the price even with it’s problems. Much better than having a subscription like other programs and apps.Show lessBaaby_blue
Pretty good
Works pretty well. A couple features I’d love to see: ability to change it to a 10 square grid instead of 5. Being able to organize gallery into folders. I have over 200 files and I haven’t even been using it a year. It will be a mess to sort through in another year.Kristen.selleck
I love it!!
This app is easy to use and makes creating a cross stitch pattern from your own pixies super simple!!
The one thing I'd like to see is the option to merge colors.
I create my patterns with beginners in mind and like to use all full stitches and minimal colors. When there are two of a very similar color, I have to go into the pattern and manually change all of one of the colors. A bit time consuming, but I still love that I have the option to change, add, or delete stitches with the colors that generate.
There is one more thing....maybe far fetched...but it's love to be able to see what my pattern would look like as a finished piece. 😊
Otherwise, this app is great!! ☺️Show lessmrsjohnson81013
Nothing else like it, very nearly a 5 star
This app does everything I wanted and more. The user interface is not intuitive, and the documentation is not well organized or thorough, but if you stick with it, you and figure it out and you’ll be glad you did. I’m able to enter exact stitch gauge (though the interface uses weird terminology) and design perfect embroidery, intarsia or fair isle patterns for my knitting.Show lesswritermlm
Crafting game changer
I was hesitant about spending $8 on an app, but this thing is amazing. It really makes my cross stitch patterns look better and easier to read then pen and paper. I love the idea of being able to trace over images instead of just converting because I have been wanting to create a cross stitch of my dog’s face but not all the background in the photo and I should be able to make that work with this app. I used this to also create a visual for a basic quilt pattern. Completely worth the money.Show lessKT13UK
HELP
I really REALLY need someone to help me with this app.
I want to use it so badly, but I am completely unable to figure out how to make my stitch patterns into a 5 square grid, rather than 10 squares.
PLEASE I have read over basically all the material on the website and it just WONT WORK. I need my chart to be sized down to 5 square boxes, it SHOULD be easy, i have no idea why it has taken months to get this worked out.
This is like my third time leaving a review PLEASE do not re direct me to the website for information.
I JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT GO FROM 10 SQUARE BOXES TO 5 SQUARE BOXES.
My friend who also bought this app says that hers automatically came on a 5 square grid. We can enter in the exact same data when starting a new cross stitch pattern, hers comes out 5 square grid, mine comes out as 10.Show lessHeshcrew
Good in theory
This app has some uses- the biggest flaw and regret for purchasing is that it hasn’t been updated in ages, and was last written in 2012. The app can’t do above 250x250 pixels, meaning on 14 count Aida you’re quite limited in what you can do. I thought maybe I could export as a MacStitch file and open it there to refine but the ONLY option is stitch sketch files or PDF. the colors of DMC are outdated and missing certain kinds. This had such good potential but the developer has been MIA as far as their website is concerned. No response to anything in over a year is quite the business strategy for those who want us to pay for their services. Overall, I’d skip this app and wait for something better to come out.Show lessAllllie102797
Great for cross stitch
There are some quirks but overall this is a wonderful tool for making cross stitch patterns. Import images and with just a bit of ‘cleaning up’ you have a great beginning to a beautiful cross stitch piece. I’ve made over a dozen patterns so far and my only wish is that you could do a “replace all” to change a lot of cells from one color/symbol to another. If it exists I don’t know how to use it. The backstitch option is a wonderful tool but it’s very sensitive and difficult to control. I’d rather print the pattern and get a sharpie to add the backstitching 😳😬. Overall this is still a great app. Can’t wait to see what adjustments/updates may come laterShow lessSonga smith
