### 2/5 — It’s okay but could be better

*2026-08-07, version 4.2.3*

I got the app a while ago so I could convert written patterns to a chart as I have dyslexia. But the YouTube video is 4 years old and there has been no improvement since. The version of the software I have is different to the one in the video so I cannot even use it to work out the app.
Edited 7th August 2026
It has been quite some time since I downloaded this app, I had hoped that it had been updated since I first downloaded but not the case, there has been no support at all, the few videos on YouTube is an older version of this app so it’s no longer useful in helping with this version of the app.

### 5/5 — A great tool for charting

*2026-07-20, version 4.2.3*

A great tool with many good features

### 1/5 — Needs instructions

*2026-07-04, version 4.2.3*

Lots of great possibilities but if you don’t know how to use it what good is it.  I even got the full version hoping it would have help on how to use, but it did not. Some directions given, non verbal but unless you know what they are doing it’s useless. The possibilities are fantastic. Wish I could figure out how it works. YouTube videos no help as no vocalizations so it’s impossible to understand what is happening. Very disappointed

### 1/5 — Looks good but doesn’t perform

*2025-08-21, version 4.2.3*

No help, not intuitive

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2025-06-02, version 4.2.3*

This app is SO flawed, glitchy, and overpriced. It takes forever to create a chart because the functions are so poorly designed. When you try to save your charts, the pieces move and change. I tried contacting support and received no response. Don’t waste your money.

### 3/5 — It’s okay but could be better

*2025-04-22, version 4.2.3*

I got the app a while ago so I could convert written patterns to a chart as I have dyslexia. But the YouTube video is 4 years old and there has been no improvement since. The version of the software I have is different to the one in the video so I cannot even use it to work out the app.

### 1/5 — No instructions

*2024-09-20, version 4.2.3*

I have looked at YouTube videos but what I see cannot be done

### 5/5 — This is fantastic

*2024-08-01, version 4.2.3*

I’m stunned at the attention to detail. It does everything I wanted. I was struggling with a written out granny square pattern so I went looking for a program to help me translate it into a chart. This program is exactly what I needed. There is a learning curve and I need to check out the YouTube channel but I’m beyond delighted with everything this app can do!

### 3/5 — Flipping option missing

*2024-06-25*

It’s very unfortunate that there is no feature to flip shapes horizontally or vertically. I just purchased the pro version, but since it lacks the feature to flip the feature..I think I will have to request a refund

### 1/5 — Only for projects in the round, not worked flat.  What’s up with that?!

*2024-05-05, version 4.2.3*

This would be great for charting things like doilies and similar things worked in the round.  Unfortunately, it is utterly useless for charting anything else!
