### 3/5 — Game not bringing up patterns

*2026-06-02, version 2.10.3*

I love this game but when I click on “Patterns” at the bottom it brings up categories of the pictures but the actual “Patterns” do not come up.

### 3/5 — 無料版？？

*2025-12-12, version 2.10.1*

お金を払わないと使えない…？お試し出来るような所が見当たらず、課金画面が出てきます。
お試し無しでいきなり7日1000円はちょっと勇気がいりますね🥲

### 1/5 — Hard to use

*2025-12-04, version 2.10.0*

Couldn’t get a grid set on app to create an image.

### 1/5 — MONTHS of work lost

*2025-11-30, version 2.10.0*

I uploaded a picture and set it up so that it ended up being a 321x500 design. That’s 160,500 cross stitches. I knew it would take months or possibly years to complete. I was about 80,000 stitches in when the app stopped working. I contacted support and no one answered. Eventually the app started working again but the progress I’d logged was completely gone and the only pattern wasn’t even the same. I’m so devastated.

### 4/5 — 환불

*2025-09-18*

### 1/5 — Nein danke

*2025-03-03, version 2.8.13*

Bevor man überhaupt starten kann, kommt gleich das Abo, dass man abschließen muss. Ich weis noch nicht mal, ob die App mir überhaupt gefällt. Und selbst wenn ich 3 Tage erstmal kostenlos bekomme… ich will doch die App erstmal ansehen können.

### 1/5 — Não tem opção cancelar pagamento no app

*2024-12-21, version 2.8.12*
