### 1/5 — Update to 8 broke my access to full version

*2026-07-09*

I got this app and paid for the full version a few months ago and have had a decent experience. Sure, there are a few things that are annoying and a few things that I’d change, but nothing major. Nothing I can’t deal with using a little bit of patience and a few extra taps on the screen. Well I just went to check out what’s changed with the newest update and now I can’t restore my purchase of the full version. I have had issues in the past where the app would forget I got the full version and I’d have to wait until I had WiFi to click the restore purchase button but I’d click the button and things would be fine. Now, however, I click the button and something pops up saying the App Store doesn’t have a record of my purchase. I don’t understand what is happening because I can go to the App Store and quickly find a purchase record. I don’t want to have to pay to use an app I already paid for or leave a one star review for an app I’ve have a decent experience using but I don’t know what else to do.

### 3/5 — Please just make the app cost $2.99 on the App Store!

*2025-10-17*

I love the concept, but when you download the app it shows you a few free patterns and makes you pay $2.99 as an in app purchase to do literally anything. It’s confusing and would work better if the app just cost that in the App Store, would be easier to redownload rather than hit “restore purchase” every time. There are no other apps doing something like this for blackwork embroidery, so I’d happily pay the app’s price

### 4/5 — Love this app!

*2023-10-13*

Creative Blackwork Creator does exactly what it says - allows you to design blackwork patterns.  It’s a simple, straightforward app with almost no learning curve.  I love it!

I give the app four stars because it could use some simple instructions defining the menu bar symbols and because there is no mirroring option.  Other than that, it’s a great little design tool.
