Doesn’t sync between devices

It’s a good idea in principle and I have been using it for a few years for my fabric collection but it’s just disappeared from my ipad and only ever partially synced on my phone.
There’s no way to restore purchases on the app so now it’s unusable for me which is a real shame.
Also the payment needed for more than a few fabrics wasn’t declared at the outset when I started to use it - some more transparency as to actual cost would have been nice.
I paid £6.99 for the upgrade ( the app is almost useless without this) and now it isn’t working the developer hasn’t had the courtesy to reply to messages.

Hasn't been updated in 5 years

The devs have put this app on 'set and forget' - they don't answer customer support queries or supply ITsec updates to users even though operating systems have greatly changed since launch 5 years ago. The app provides a data export function but not import, and doesn't offer an in-app restore option - so users have to make sure any data is captured by general cloud backups. Not the best option for simple fabric listing but okay if you accept all the above risks and want to pay people who give nothing by way of support.

Great on principle, but did not sync with new phone

I loved it while I could use it in old phone, but since I do patchwork on really small pieces with English paper piecing technique, I got to log in over 1300 fabrics and I was only half way into my vast collection. I spent hours and hours doing this. Then I upgraded my iPhone, and COMPLETE DISASTER!!!!! I got no support from developers so far (after 6 days since emailing them for help). I’m now contemplating whether it is worth spending another huge chunk of my life logging everything again. When it worked, it was fabulous, though.

Great app

I really like how the app allows you to keep an inventory of your fabrics. One thing I would suggest is to allow you to use more of the categories to filter and maybe do a clear division of the colors. What I mean is, I would especially like to be able to filter based on all of the categories because I’d especially find it useful to filter by style.

FAQ

What does Cora do?

Cora is a digital organizer designed for fabric lovers. It allows you to catalog your fabric stash, add details like color, length, and designer, and even upload pictures. The app helps you search and filter your collection to find the perfect fabric for your next sewing or crafting project.

How do I add fabrics to Cora?

You can add fabrics by taking pictures directly within the app or selecting them from your device's library. You can then input basic information like color and length, with the option to add more details later, including searchable notes. The app supports both metric and imperial units.

Is Cora free to use?

Cora offers a free tier where you can add up to 5 fabrics to your stash. To manage a larger collection, you will need to upgrade. The app is free to download and use with in-app purchases for expanded functionality.

Can I sync my fabric stash across multiple devices?

Currently, Cora does not sync your fabric stash across devices. Backups are handled through Apple's infrastructure, so it's important to ensure your phone is backed up periodically to prevent data loss. The app is designed for individual use on a single device.

What are the benefits of using Cora for my fabric stash?

Cora helps you stay organized by keeping all your fabric information in one accessible place. You can easily find what you have, plan projects more effectively, and potentially reduce fabric waste by utilizing your existing stash. Features like filtering by color or length and searching by designer make it simple to locate specific materials.
