Annoying

Whenever
I try to save one of my embroidery designs that I created, it saves for the first one but not the others and then will delete again. And I have the extra subscription so that makes me even more annoyed because it’s very expensive (and makes you pay for the whole year and no trial option ) and I haven’t really seen a big difference between the normal version.

Pretty worthless.

The windows desktop software sends project to the sewing machine or “the cloud”, but this software only seems to have access to “the vault”, which a different online storage space. Even when the desktop software sees the iPhone and offers to send the project to the phone, then says it successfully has done so, nothing shows up on the phone.
So unless you want to try to design projects on a tiny iphone screen, this app is pretty worthless.

App features break down and no support

This app is not worth it, don’t get a machine that uses creative, hard to design embroidery that looks good and works well. Save your money and go to a new machine software

Ungenau

Als ich noch ganz normal mit der JoyOS Advisor mein Desing platzieren konnte hat das wunderbar funktioniert. Jetzt ist !trotz! Foto alles total ungenau platziert, ich muss alles nachjustieren. Nicht mal der Rahmen stimmt auf dem Bildschirm mit meiner Maschine überein, was jedoch mäkeln auf hohem Niveau ist. Fazit ist jedoch, so ist das ganze für mich nicht mehr nutzbar. Ich benutze die Husqvarna Sapphire 85 und bin total enttäuscht über das ständige Verschlimmbessern wirklich mal gut funktionierender Apps.

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.
