Dislike

I don’t really like this app. It doesn’t let me search for machines by model number or brand. Anything you type into the search bar, comes back as an error.

Freezes, please fix

Immediately freezes the entire app on the crafting page, unable to click between mm and inches.

What?!

I’m confused. I’m using the iOS version. How do I export to vf3 format? It only outputs in vp4. Also, I’ve only recently purchased my machine but it’s not wifi enabled, does this mean I won’t be able to access the premium designs? Does this mean there’s no point paying for a subscription? Mysewnet didn’t seem to have these limitations. It says if it’s mysewnet compatible it will work, the description of my machine talks about mysewnet, but is the Pfaff creative 4.5 compatible with this app? They’ve released this too soon without leaving behind the old software to keep functionality before ending support.

Terrible experience

The app moved so incredibly slowly, and when I tried to print I learned there was no way. Aargh. It shouldn’t be this hard.

Can’t even sign in, the button is unresponsive

I restarted the app even, just unable to use the app. The website is terrible as well, it frequently asks me to sign in to access my files even if I’m logged in
