Consistent data loss

I use the application from my desktop regularly. Sometimes I need to change to iPad because there are some functionalities there that are not available on desktop (the rules are displayed in the preview). The cache of the project saved in the iPad overrides the saved project I edited in my desktop. I am constantly loosing projects.

Bluetooth connection

It would be great if connecting with bluetooth was easy. I’m to the point that I don’t want to use it at all anymore.

Totally unreliable

Every update brings more bugs. Every. Single. Update. It’s incredibly frustrating, especially when paying the monthly subscription. I pity the people who actually depend on their machine & this awful software for an income. Additionally, the time between updates, is way too long. Having to wait several weeks just for bug fixes is unacceptable. I do love my Cricut & when Design Space for iOS works as it should, I couldn’t be happier. Those days are few & far between as of late & the other machines on the market are looking better everyday.

Makes me wish I never bought a Cricut

This app is the bane of my existence. I have to constantly redownload the app, uninstall in order for it to recognize my machine and restart projects because it randomly closes and loses my progress.

Not amused

Constantly lagging and not saving projects. Not worked properly in long time. Ruined 2 projects by disconnecting from my maker and even worse since updated.

This software gets worse with every update

Every time I open this app, it makes a great machine move into my device devices I hate list. Between the continual “almost’ force to upgrade to the paid version of software for a hardware that I already own, and the fact that tools are never consistently in the same place or capable to be operated in the same fashion as the previous time you use the device. As soon as this thing dies, a brother will replace it, and I will delete this terrible app.

Search tool sucks

It’s impossible to just look at free templates and fonts. Even if you adjust the filters to free they will not filter out content that requires subscription or paid use. I regret getting a cricut.

$5 for a font that you can only use a few times then it disappears.

Tired of wasting my money

Cricut maker 4

Ela é uma ótima máquina os cortes sai perfeitos porém o tamanho A4deixa a desejar poderia mudar essa opção pra ajudar nos papeleiras mais aliviadas pois vejo muitas pessoas reclamando do tamanho que sai o projeto

Response from developer

Agradecemos muito pelo seu comentário! Ficamos felizes em saber que você considera a máquina ótima e que os cortes estão saindo perfeitos. Entendemos a sua sugestão sobre o tamanho A4 e como uma opção mais flexível poderia ajudar quem trabalha com papel e precisa aproveitar melhor cada folha. Sabemos que o tamanho do projeto e da área de corte fazem uma grande diferença no dia a dia, e vamos valorizar esse feedback. Caso esteja tendo dificuldades para alterar o tamanho da base, é possível acessar a seção “Load Type” e ativar “Remember this selection” para manter a configuração escolhida. Agradecemos por compartilhar essa sugestão e por destacar uma necessidade que também é percebida por outros usuários. Feedback como o seu é muito importante para tornar o Design Space cada vez mais prático e fácil de usar.

App crashes when trying to open saved project

This app has a nice UI but crashes every time I try open a saved file.

Will Cricut Pay for my next MacBook??

Can’t even run on my Macbook due to not being able to software updates. Can’t update past catalina but my laptop runs just fine.. Reallu don’t want to update for no reason. Wish Cricut allowed to run off a past version…

App crashing

I try to duplicate a text and move it then the app crashes. It completely black screens my phone for at least a minute.

Horrible

I used to love and recommend a cricut machine to everyone but now there is such a big push in the app to subscribe and pay monthly for it that it’s pretty much unuseable and not fun whatsoever. Anytime I need to make a sticker for my business. I dread it so much. Definitely looking into better options. There’s no need for all of this.

Cool app but updates break it

I loved using this app for the last six years, but recently they have begun making updates that are breaking the best parts of it for me. And, if you put in a bug report, you hear nothing back to know if the issue is resolved. So you just have to keep trying and failing.

Trash

Not sure why there are so many good reviews. Despite all the troubleshooting I do this app crashes constantly. And I pay a monthly subscription for it to not even let me log in this morning. What a nightmare!!!! When it does work it’s so good. But these bugs need to be fixed.

Disappointed

Cannot believe how difficult they have made it. I just want to print ONE silhouette and every time I go to name it, completely does back to the screen I was just at. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! I pay good money for this every month & I shouldn’t have to pay for something that isn’t working properly!

Despeckle/smooth

Why do you remove Despeckle / smooth option on iPad bring it back

Literally unusable

I’ve had a Cricut for 5 years and love it. But this software literally makes me dread crafting. Every update moves things around in a less intuitive way. It take so many clicks to accomplish anything. Why can I no longer add multiple images at once without the selector closing after I choose one? Everything is just so much harder than it needs to be, and that’s when it works. Recently I’ve been unable to reliably move anything around the screen - I can select it and then it refuses to move. I work in tech and am very tech savvy. I feel so bad for all the older less techy ladies who just want to craft. I’m begging you to please invest some time in stability, tech debt, and bug fixes. You can’t add more functionality when the basics are still this bad.

Doesn’t work

This app doesn’t even work. It is just constantly on a loading screen. I know I have gotten to a screen to make a design in the past but I have no idea how to get there again. And back when I got my cricut in 2018 this app was great. It is literally not even an app anymore! And makes using a cricut machine impossible.

Freezes

I can never use my machine when inspiration hits because the app is always frozen or buggy
