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?

Disapointed

When I buy this app I think I can print

Just bought

Learning but looks like it does a good job. The pictures show the chart pattern on one page. I understand the color key is on a separate page but I would like the actual chart to be all on one page please.

Cross Stitch Creator

Are there any plans to print the pattern in colour? I am really struggling to read the chart as it is in black and white.

Great design tool.

Wish it had different stitch types, however this is a very easy to use cross stitch designer. Update with the option to use different stitches and this would be 5 star.

Decent enough app but missing a lot for the price

The fact that you can’t do fractional stitches, back stitching, or French knots is quite a pain. I feel as though these things are crucial to the cross stitching craft.
The ability to copy/paste sections would be amazing and save so much time.

You also can’t name patterns with symbols as it results in an error and you lose the entire pattern.

Great app and great customer support!

I just downloaded this app and am super impressed. I was even more impressed when I contacted Adam with a feature suggestion and got an almost instantaneous response. I’m using this app for weaving and it is saving me tons of time.

Can’t change grid

No customer service contact in app help section.
The app has setting to change the grid, but the thick black lines every 10 squares won’t change. If I need a cross stitch grid 16 count, I can’t change these 10 count lines. Also the grid is too dark on a saved pdf pattern. The app don’t have select and mirror element feature. Wasted money. Could use pixel art maker instead.

Extremely limited

This app is basically un-usable. Limited controls with no explanation on how to use, no tutorials. Complicated and frustrating. A waste of $10.54.

Great Despite Bugs

This app is great! The only issue I have with it is that some pictures won’t upload. Most pictures upload fine, and when they do, this app is fantastic. It would be nice to have an account to save my patterns so I don’t lose them if the app gets erased or I get a new device.

Color completion

Thank you so much Adam for adding the progress bar on the color showing how many stitches are left of each color - awesome upgrade!

Great! Hopeful for new updates:)

This app is so great! I prefer to work on my ipad when making patterns because it’s easier to transfer my designs and also my apple pencil to edit the patterns. This app is perfect for that and a pretty reasonable price. From what I’ve seen of reviews and updates, the developers are really good about listening to what users are looking to change. The only thing that I’m hoping to see in the future is a bit more freedom in selecting the symbols for different thread colors but that’s more of a comment than a criticism:)

The best app for creating your own patterns!

Nothing else to say except this is the best app I have found for making your own patterns, which is the majority of how I stitch. Thank you!!!

Easy to use

This is the easiest app for cross stitch pattern making that I have ever come across. Though it’s hard to do outline work. Well worth a download. 👍

Best App ever!!

I have been cross stitching for a long time and when I found this app it has come in perfect to make all my patterns. Adam the creator has been so amazing if I have any trouble shooting issues and super quick to respond. You can’t go wrong getting this app to make and stitch your patterns. It makes it so easy to follow with being able to mark out what you have stitched and it even tells you the % you have completed. Just an all out great purchase that I’m so happy I made!

Easy to use! Great value!

Have been using this app for a few months now. Patterns are easy to make, edit, save and use. Intuitive interface with handy query button that can be toggled on and off for more/less info.
Use of more (all?) thread colors would be great, and ability to still see symbol underneath color would be helpful when tracking as you stitch.
Great value for money!
