Great

Love this app. When I have a question the creator answers my email quite fast. I use it for creating baskets making a pattern out of a photo. Also the freehand is good. I am quite impressed

Works Pretty Well

I have tried out several cross stitch apps but they were more expensive or had a subscription which I will not have. I wish this had a trial period but it looked like what I wanted and the reviews were good. So far it is a good app but there are a couple of things I may not have found yet or it does not have. Other apps you were able to mark the stitches with a color like red. That way each stitch that was finished could be seen as done. I have not found that here. IMO this would be a very good thing to have. It would make it easier to see what has been done. Also, i don’t know if this can be done here, and I know there is a ruler at the side, but I think it would be very helpful to have a guide (+ top and bottom and side to side) that would center in the middle of the picture so you could more easily see the center. And to be able to colorize it to whatever color you wanted and make it thick or thin. If the above things can already be done I hope I can find out about them. I looked on YouTube but there were no videos on this app. It would be useful for someone to put a thorough video there showing all of the things that can be done. Thanks.

Good but not great

There is a lot of awesome things about this app. It transfers drawings for the most part, still requires editing and cleaning up. But, one of the things that bothers me though is having to hold the square down to draw and fill in multiple squares. I can see why it could be helpful to have a toggle, but I wish it was a setting I could change. Additionally, when choosing dmc thread, the sort doesn’t save, so you have to go in and re-sort how you want it to be the next time you go to find a color. Additionally, I wish I could choose what symbols the thread use, but haven’t been able to find a way to do that yet, hope they can continue to perfect it!

I love this app

The ease of use and the many functions. I spend many hours creating patterns from scratch and would love the back stitch, french knot and diagonal stitch added to it to make it the best app for creating cross stitch on the iPad.

Help

How do I delete palletes and how do I select my palette colors by using my pattern not having the app decide where colors go?
