If I X out at the top right it brings me to an ad that I watch then when I go back to the ad and picture the pattern with the S in the left upper corner. It does the same thing over and over again. ### 4/5 — Cross stitch. *2026-04-19, version 620* Would appreciate this app more if the rewards worked better. Too many pop up to earn rewards. I’d like to choose reward. Not enough new designs at the moment. Very annoying. ### 2/5 — False claims *2026-03-31, version 619* Says daily puzzles Every Dat. Hasn’t been any new puzzles in 6 weeks. Sent a message to developer, who asked me to clarify. Clarify what? There. Is. No. New. Daily. Puzzle. ### 3/5 — New pictures? *2026-03-01* This puzzle claims to have a new daily puzzle, but there haven’t been any in weeks…. Still stuck on the same valentine puzzle I colored 2 weeks ago. ### 4/5 — Good for me *2025-09-17, version 0.0.555* This app has been a regular go to for my sanity for about a year now. 1) I wish the categories would update with more pictures (ie: pets, food, best, art, landscapes) I currently enjoy the daily picture selections as well. 2) it may be fun to add a few new preselected categories (ie: quotes on backgrounds, fantasy magic, fantasy creatures, books, holidays- us year round holiday lovers, sports) and lastly 3) is there a trick to sync my progress between my iPhone and my iPad (my phone has more completed pictures due to always being with me. However my iPad is easier to see to use, but I do not have the same progress or power-ups/boosts. But overall I love the game ### 4/5 — Cross stitch. *2024-11-15, version 0.0.513* Would appreciate this app more if the rewards worked better. Too many pop up to earn rewards. I’d like to choose which rewards are best for my needs. ### 1/5 — Poor Design *2023-10-05, version 0.0.434* Very hard to move around what you are creating. When you are clans it doesn’t give you the proper window in which to work. Too much time removing wrong colors. ### 1/5 — Cross stitch. *2023-07-04* Would appreciate this app more if the rewards worked better. **Developer response:** Hello, We are sincerely sorry for your experience. Kindly clarify your issue with more details and we will do our best to resolve it. We would like the opportunity to investigate your feedback further so that our development team will definitely consider your opinion and make the game better. ### 2/5 — Oops - not relocating *2023-06-28, version 0.0.431* I’ve enjoyed this app for a couple of years, but suddenly the app is not responding when touching a letter to find uncolored stitches. First on my tablet - a week later on phone. ### 2/5 — I like this app, but.. *2023-03-23, version 0.0.386* Can we please have the pic to color in black and white. Thanks. If the pics we are about to color in black and white, I would give this a five star rating. ### 4/5 — Cross stitch is my favorite “coloring app”. *2023-02-15, version 0.0.359* I love this app the only thing that would make it better is if you can use it without Wi-Fi. If I could that it would be a 10. ### 3/5 — 😞 *2023-01-24, version 0.0.359* To many ads ### 3/5 — Love this but fix this glitch *2022-12-24, version 0.0.333* I love this game but when I move the board or click on a area sometimes it goes blank and I have to restart the game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — False claims *2026-07-16, version 620* Says daily puzzles Every Day. Hasn’t been any new puzzles 6 months!! Sent a message to developer, who asked me to clarify. Clarify what? There. Is. No. New. Daily. Puzzle. ### 1/5 — Far to many ads, it is not relaxing *2026-06-02, version 620* Lovely game ruined b adverts, take 4 just to get anew picture when you complete one, ### 1/5 — Rip Off! *2026-04-06, version 620* I’ve been a fan for several years, my yearly subscription just got paid and Poof! No more new pictures, no response to emails.. I’m done! I’m deleting app and just lost $30 for an app that I used to love:( ### 1/5 — Pop up Ads *2025-07-01, version 0.0.555* Pop up ads every few seconds that take up the whole bottom of the screen while you are stitching! you actually have to stop and hit the arrow in the ad to clear it! Ver nerve wracking to say the lease!!😡 ### 1/5 — SO DIFFICULT TO MOVE *2025-06-07, version 0.0.538* You end up making about 100+ mistakes just trying to move the picture. And no it’s because I’m old, I’m only 31. The picture jammed in there with no extra space so the outer squares on my phone can’t even be reached. SO FRUSTRATING. ### 1/5 — Half page add *2025-03-15, version 0.0.520* The adds that keep popping up on this app are ridiculous, they pop up to half the page every minute or less. I think I will delete this app if you don’t do anything about the adds. I’m not paying for the stupid adds to be removed either. ### 1/5 — Half page add *2025-01-28, version 0.0.520* I used to love doing this cross stitch app, but you now have a half page add that keeps coming on and takes up half the page while doing the picture, it slides up every minute or less. This has only started happening today and I will delete this add before paying to have no adds. Not happy, please get rid of it. ### 1/5 — Can’t finish any picture *2025-01-22, version 0.0.520* Downloaded this and can’t finish any picture. The first one 7 pixels on the right side I could not fill in. The second one the very top hand corner pixel wouldn’t let me fill in. Unable to finish any picture. ### 1/5 — I do not have a title *2024-06-14, version 0.0.498* I refuse to pay for coloring on the phone. Why would I pay for something I can’t keep. ### 1/5 — Mad!! *2024-02-01, version 0.0.465* Ur gonna pay for disrespecting me and other Libras cause on the advertisement about horoscopes (which I mentioned some time ago) showed a Libra cross stitch aka me because I'm Libra but i never found it😤♎️ so get the horoscopes category now or i will be mad ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Can’t stop playing! *2025-12-12, version 591* Just can’t stop playing, love the different types of pictures.
