### 3/5 — Machine

*2026-06-06*

I can’t transfer photos from phone to my machine.

### 1/5 — Not sending image!

*2025-05-15*

For some reason my machine has stopped receiving images from my design snap app.  I have used it for a few years with no issues until now.  Have double and triple checked I’m doing everything correctly and it’s still not working.  Very frustrating!

### 1/5 — Gut gemeint

*2025-05-09*

Gutgemeinte App aber zu wenige möglichkeiten sie Wirklich richtig zu Nutzen! Und nicht mit Apple-Geräten richtig nutzbar!

### 1/5 — Not comparable w PE900

*2025-03-19*

Not comparable w the Brother PE900

### 1/5 — Terrible app and bad customer service

*2025-01-19*

After spending a fortune on a XJ2 I find that I can’t even get the apps to connect to my machine, I did all the trouble shooting and the Artspira app was not an issue to connect to but the other two brother apps that I need to use my machine do not work. Brother Canada why are you not addressing this issue? I see a lot of the same reviews on here , I can’t believe that you treat your customers this way!

### 2/5 — Frustrating!!!

*2024-12-15*

This app used to work perfectly fine for me everytime, but now it will not connect to my machine!
I have followed the guidance on the support page which frankly is useless and still cannot connect, really disappointed

### 1/5 — Will not connect to my

*2024-10-06*

Will not connect to my machine

### 1/5 — No offline work!?

*2024-08-22*

It's ridiculous that we can't use the App offline, BEFORE Connecting to the machine. 
If I am around and I want to work on my design, I can't. 
You are forced to be home, close to the machine, just to use it. 
Bad.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-02-12*

This used to be great but now it doesn’t work. Can’t get it to reload to find machines on the network.

### 2/5 — Good if it works

*2024-01-07*

Says it’s send to the machine…. Rarely arrives
