Great app, but different from Design Space
I love using this app for doing projects on my Cricut Joy, but I mainly use this app just for cards. This app is really easy to use compared to Cricut Design Space. However, on Cricut Design Space there are a lot more options when you search within a project (for example: search animals, and a lot more shows up on Cricut Design Space then Cricut Joy app). I do love how this app has everything made for Cricut Joy exclusively. It’s easier to just select things that you know will be compatible with your machine rather than try to figure out on the other app, whether it will work for you or not. It also is easier because when you are making a card or cutting out an object, it will show you what will come out and what will stay on which is really helpful for cutting things with my Cricut Joy. The main complaint that I have had for cricket design, space, and Cricut Joy app is the access plus. It is super annoying if you don’t have it, and will limit your ability to create things that you enjoy to create. And also, I do think it is green, more strict by the day. Less and less things are free now, just FYI. I hope you enjoy using this app overall it is pretty great there just a few of the minor issues that I stated. I still enjoy using it despite that. I hope this review was helpful.

There’s potential here…
This app is required for using a Cricut joy machine, but it leaves much to be desired. It does not interact with the Cricut design space app, and is overall very rudimentary. You cannot create mock designs with multiple colors. The app crashes if you try to change certain size of parameters of images. There’s no way to change the overall size of a design without cancelling and starting new. Another frustrating part is that you have to create a design under the category of vinyl, iron-on, etc. If you like your design and want to turn it into a different category item, you have to start completely from scratch. This app is frustrating, but has potential if the user face becomes easier with more dynamic design settings.

This app needs some work
I purchased the Cricut Joy back in February, and was using the regular Cricut design space when I discovered that this app was available for my specific model. I downloaded it and was pleased that the sizing was already fit for my Cricut Joy. I would’ve appreciated an email saying this was available since the Cricut company can tell which model a person has. Would’ve saved me a lot of time instead of trying to design cards that would not fit this machine. Then when I did start using the app I like some of the features, but it is very limited. The graphics I am able to add usually never correspond with the searches I make, the text feature is so glitchy and my text boxes always get messed up, and the app crashes constantly and won’t save my work. Yesterday I had a card all made and the inside was all written out and then the text box decided to condense and widen across the page so it was completely off the side margins and then it crashed so I lost all of my text. Please do some work on this app and give us an update!!!

App crash - non stop
Just bought a cricut joy - because I wanted to quick and easy use from my iPad while having a portable machine.
So I bought the machine, new case, and the label starter kit. Upon launching the app, while at a client, I tried to do the vinyl label starter. As soon as I thought the screen to adjust the size, app crashes. This happened over and over. So - I deleted the app, restarted the ipad, redownload the app - same thing crash, Crash, CRASH.
This app is totally useless and defeats buying a protable machine.
I wasted 45 minutes of billable time at a client’s home where I was trying to label containers. I couldn’t bill for that time and now have a very expensive paper weight. I should have looked at the app version history first - there’s been no updates for over 5 months.
I called to get tech support but the wait was over 1.5 hours. I emailed support and the auto response said it could be multiple days before I heard back….I’m guessing that reply will basically be automated and non-helpful. That’s TBD.
I give it a week and then I return the machine. Oh - and the 3-pack of pens that was included, 1 of the pens was half empty. No quality control happening with this company right now.
