Quality

The quality has gone so down in the last year. It doesn’t make you fix your mistakes anymore and there’s an ad every few minutes.
There animals listed under the wrong labels and most of the pictures look like AI slop.

I loved this app, but there’s a massive glitch

I’m a big fan of the app, used it for a long time. But I’ve had a frustrating issue for several years now, and I’ve tried to report it multiple times in the app, and I’ve gotten no responses, and no updates have fixed the issue. Hopefully leaving a review on here works better.

I pay for the subscription, and I often upload my own images to cross stitch in the largest size. I enjoy the process of a big cross stitch of an image I like. I used to have no issues with it, but since several years ago, there’s been a very annoying glitch. If I leave a stitch and return later, randomly, it will automatically fill in a bunch of squares in the cross stitch. There’s no rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes it’s a random speckle of correct colors filled in, sometimes it’s massive, thick lines of one color (usually white?) spanning the whole image (creating thousands of mistakes I have to unpick), or sometimes it just fills in the entire image instantly. All three of these are very, very frustrating to me. Occasionally, if I leave quickly before it saves, and enter it again, the problem will be gone. Usually, however, the problem either persists or worsens, adding even more filled-in squares. The only workaround I’ve found is to completely renew the image, restart all my progress, and just complete the entire thing in one sitting. This is not reasonable, as the stitches are huge and often take me several hours to finish, which is why I separate it out across multiple days.

I just want to complete the images myself. Sometimes it lets me do it without issue, but I shouldn’t have to struggle this much just to complete my own images. I really hope the developers see this and help me out by removing this huge glitch.

New version SUCKS

The old version was WAY better. I paid for ad free and used it everyday, but the new version isn’t the same. They changed how the images look and how you can color.
You can’t make any mistakes, it basically just lets you drag your finger across all the boxes and colors the ones it wants.
It’s completely unenjoyable now, this was my favorite app.
I ended up deleting the app entirely because the new version SUCKS.
Change it back!

Used to be a great Cross Stitch app.

For whatever reason they’ve taken the little viewfinder away in the corner so I can no longer see my progress as I go unless I actually zoom out. (Just give me a button to turn it on and off) not to mention there’s literally only 8 free ones so once those are done, it’s basically impossible to be able to get more without actually spending money. The “free” gifts of coins you get as a reward while working requires you to watch a whole 30 second- 1 minute video ad in order to accept it. For 50 coins. This app has become a predatory, money-grubbing nightmare. Do better developers.

Very Good

It is very good but I wish the gifts didn’t require ads to claim and there are more simpler pictures but other than that this app is fun and addictive!! 🧶🪡
