### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2026-03-03*

How dumb do you have to be to think this works with anything and everything 
It’s a gravest resource and works seamlessly every time

### 1/5 — Only works with 3 models

*2025-07-08*

Waste of time since it only works with 3 models.

### 2/5 — Won’t scan

*2024-08-12*

Unfortunately it won’t recognize any of the QR codes in my machine, so it’s pretty useless. 

Maybe you could add a manual search for a certain stitch number on a particular machine?

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your comments and feedback.
As AcuSpark2 is compatible with JANOME CONTINENTAL M8 PROFESSIONAL and HORIZON Memory Craft 9480 QC PROFESSIONAL, please double-check your model.
The "Manual search for a certain stitch number" feature is equipped with the CONTINENTAL M8 PROFESSIONAL, please check the instruction manual. (If you have the HORIZON Memory Craft 9480 QC PROFESSIONAL, please search for the stitch from the Stitch Chart.)
If you need further support, please contact "support@gm.janome.co.jp".
