### 5/5 — Embroidery

*2026-08-16*

This app is brilliant if your wanting to progress further with making stuff for family and friends I’m learning so much I love it, could play all day ..

### 2/5 — 画像変換がダメすぎる

*2026-08-15*

オリジナルのイラストなどを刺繍できるのはいいけど、画像変換で刺繍データに変換する際、色が正しく読み取れてない。似ている色ならまだしも、黒→赤、オレンジ→緑などめちゃくちゃに変換される。色味を変えて何度やっても同じ…正直有料とは思えない。
精度を上げろとは言わないが、簡単な色の識別くらいは出来るようにしてほしい。

### 3/5 — Ok, but could be better

*2026-07-31, version 2.8.10*

This tool is a bit clunky, but I can usually get what I want if I work at it long enough.

### 4/5 — Works well!

*2026-07-28, version 2.8.10*

I just wish we could see the surrounding fabric outside the frame it is very hard to line things up to things that are outside the embroidery area.

### 3/5 — Overwhelming

*2026-07-25*

While I LOVE the scan n cut ability, transferring data to external sources doesn’t always work and it’s very annoying when you have VERY LIMITED memory on your machine.  If there’s anyway that can be increased it would be a HUGE asset.
   Also, always having to “delete” a pattern or ok it is unnerving until you’re familiar with what it’s doing.  That initial fear of losing your work is nauseating.  I have yet to understand the reasoning behind it.  I’m interested in purchasing files as I suspect that’s the only way to get the details I see on my phone and tablet but I’ve had my machine for 3-4 yrs and have yet to figure out how to purchase them🤦🏼‍♀️.
   3-4 yrs in, my machine is having trouble with the left side roller lagging.  And it always loads my scan sheet crooked.  There should be troubleshooting tools within this app to help care for your machines but I guess that’s Brothers App????
   There seems to be a lot more opportunity for those of us who input our own designs and to change them.  But doing them on this app is next to impossible.  Because it’ll lock up on you or you have to keep moving the screen around and then you lose your place.

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to review your experience with the Brother Artspira app.  We appreciate your feedback.  Please contact the Brother USA support team at:
www.brother-usa.com/support if you need help.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-07-24*

Thank you for making this app. I love the fact that I can make designs on my iPad while on the road. It is much better and user-friendly than the online version of Canvas. Having so much fun using this!

### 3/5 — Instruction help

*2026-07-23, version 2.8.10*

I feel like there should be a help? To help you get through directions or a chat box. I feel like it could be more user-friendly.

### 2/5 — Educational videos won’t play

*2026-07-22, version 2.8.10*

Thought this would be a useful app. Just bought the SQ9285 two hours ago and cannot view any videos for it. Keep getting a message to log in to prove I’m not a bot. There’s NO option to log in. Cannot click on “watch on YouTube” as it doesn’t allow you to click on it. Pretty disappointed!

### 1/5 — subscription in order to embroid a personal image

*2026-07-19, version 2.8.10*

app was great until they made you have to pay for a subscription to use the machine i’m sure A LOT of people want to use it, before i could upload a image no issue now it won’t let me unless i pay when i already paid for the expensive machine already

### 3/5 — 레이어기능이생기면좋겠어요

*2026-07-14*

원하는 작업 진행 순서대로 그리는것도 너무 번거롭고, 겨우겨우 순서대로 작업했다가 가장 아래에 깔렸으면 하는 선이 수정하면 가장 위로 올라가는것도 너무 불편해요.. 선별로 레이어를 설정 할 수 있으면 좋겠습니다
