Great assistance program!
I call this a ‘Great Assistance Program’ because it allows you to create an image, wether by using the conversion option or the ‘tracing’ option. Either way, adore it so... But....
Always with the but....
The cropping feature is nonsense when it comes to the loading of the tracing paper options... sooooo absurd. You can not edit it, and if you can I have not figured it out! It says you can change the canvas size, but mine doesn’t, it’ll get bigger, but the tracing paper stays the same in context to to scale.Show lessVaintyDevine
Drawing
The app is great but it would be 5 stars if the app lets you draw lines with a stylus on it like when you are sketching out stitchpeople and you want to do natural hair instead of cross stitched hair. The line tool helps but it’s not the easiest to use.
It does save time though to sketch on the app and it saves on the cloud which is great!Show lessMNL338
Nothing but aggravating
If you just a hobbyist looking for a simple way to lay out a picture so you could apply it to bead work, its nothing but pure confusion, aggravation, and frustration. Theres no cut and paste, resize, friendliness. Unless you’re a pro and want to dedicate time to learn this, you’re better off just drawing stuff out on graphing paper and printing manually. I can feel the grey hair growing, the instructions, none existent unless you know the jargon. And there are no functioning video tutorials to be found.Show lessup thisapp
Better than the alternatives, but still needs lots of work
Decent enough app and certainly gets the job done better than other options, but the user interface is confusing and the documentation is woefully inadequate and out of date (written in 2012!). The interface doesn’t use Apple native widgets, which might help with usability issues. There isn’t even Apple Pencil support, which I thought that would be a given for a paid app in 2019. My biggest complaint is the missing colors - DMC satin floss (S numbers) and mouline etoile (C numbers).
A few other necessary updates, such as better color management (adding colors and reorganizing color order) and iCloud support (for saving patterns) would go a long way to towards improving usability and earning five stars from me.Show lesss wrote a review
Needs inventory
I love this app for converting my photos to cross stitch or diamond painting designs. It does a great job but it would really be helpful if it had some type of interactive inventory list for DMC, delicas, etc. so you could tell if the colors chosen in the conversion are ones you have on hand without physically searching through your stash.Show lessdorhonda
Kind of confusing to use, help!
I love the idea of an app I can use to create patterns on my iPad or iPhone so i don’t have to be glued to my computer on the go! My only issue is that it’s a little hard to use... the manual wasn’t very informative for the issue that I’m having. I also think it would be better if you could start a pattern based off the count of fabric you’re using. (Like 14ct Aida or 28ct linen or evenweave.) I created a pattern and I’m not sure how to adjust the settings, but it says that my finished project will be 64 inches big! That’s a problem I can’t figure out how to fix and neither can anyone else. Maybe an updated manual or an in-line how to?Show lessAnchorsa
*AMAZING!*
UPDATE II - that was fast. The apps in iPad said it was *Updated*, after posting 👇 there was another update. Timing, I’m guessing. The little hopeful part of myself would like to think that the makers responded that quickly. 😸 Thank You!
UPDATE!!
Whatever this *NEW UPDATE* you guys did is TERRIBLE!
The charts are completely off, have to draw on the line beneath the one you want to mark in order to get results.
There was NO *glitches* prior, for the amount of money that is charged for this, this is now a BUMMER.
PLEASE FIX THIS! Use this daily, this is a Major P.I.T.A. 🤬once fixed you’ll get your 🌟🌟🌟 back and title changed back to AMAZING!
ok, wanted to give it 5 stars but have never paid this much for an app, ever. Once you get inside though it is so worth it. The only thing if the graph could be larger than 250, but it does what needs to be done. Still trying to figure out the other things that am unfamiliar with, always like to learn. If you are wanting to make your own patterns this is a good starting point. If you are unsure of the price, think about it, you pay this much for the materials that you work with. Here you are paying one time and have endless possibilities with your creativity from your imagination!Show lessthehappygoatcreations
6+ colors equal extreme aggravation
while I enjoy creating bead-weaving patterns, I have encountered a problem which I find extremely irritating ... if I have chosen more than 5 colors, the program freezes and it is impossible to click on that 6th color to utilize it in my design. personally, I find this extremely aggravating. why let me even pick out a 6th color, list it on my design page and then refuse to allow me to utilize that color. if you are going to us 5 colors or less, I would recommend this app... but if you want more than 5 colors, FORGET THIS!
and now it won’t even work with 3 colors 😡🤬😡
May 6, 2018... still cannot get this to work properly... basically, it is a good idea... as far as it goes... ALL THE BUGS NEED TO BE WORKED OUT OR I REFUSE TO WASTE MY TIME BEING AGGRAVATED BY THIS... IS ANYONE LISTENING?Show lessakaPeggy
Almost perfect
UPDATE:
After having this app for years, I had to restore my iPad. When I did, I lost ALL of my patterns. I sell my patterns on Etsy, they are my lively hood. I am so disappointed that this app has no way of getting all your patterns back if you are made to re-download their app. There needs to be some form of back-up built in. I usually keep all my patterns in my Dropbox just in case, but their option to open a document from the cloud doesn’t work. I am very upset.
I make patterns almost daily. This app is so close to being just what I need. If only there was a nice easy way to do solid half stitches, not just a back stitched line. And also, if the chart could be larger than just 250x250. Mainly though, the half stitches. Please include this in the next update!!!!Show lessDooratheee
It’s handy but a couple issues
I use this very regularly and I love a lot of the feature, especially creating a PDF version of my patterns. But it’s kinda glitchy at times, like trying to select a color that is already being used in my pattern from the right hand side and it won’t let me click on it. Also, when I try to reverse a pattern that has lines or corner line stitch marks, it doesn’t flip them with the pattern and so I have to erase them and put them back in. Also, if I paste a design from another pattern page, I can’t make Ganges to it unless I save it, completely close the program and open it back up, and even then it doesn’t always work. I may have to delete and reapply colors and lines.
So, I’m giving 4 stars because it IS very handy as a tool but the glitches *I hope* will be addressed and fixed and then I’d give 5 ⭐️Show lessGirliblue
