I love MacStitch!!

Thank you for making such awesome apps for artists!!! I love MacStitch so much, it’s indispensable for my work. and I was so excited to find out that you made a mobile app to be able to follow/mark a chart’s progress on my iPad. I do bead loom weaving and it would be awesome if you could add a feature in the app to mark a full line of stitches like in the desktop version, instead of having to mark each stitch individually.

can’t get hold of support

I have been trying to use this app. I have Mac Stitch and hoped I would be able to import charts from it to my iPad using this app but have yet to figure out how to get it to work. When I try to get hold of support through the app or web page I get errors when I hit submit. I am hoping that this will be seen and maybe they will reach out to me.

Can’t upload my own patterns

The description says I should be able to upload patterns that are in my files on my iPad, however the option to use my files never appears, only the files that belong to the app. I’ve been looking for an app like Pattern Keeper to put my pattern in, so I’m really disappointed that this app promises but doesn’t deliver, as there are no other reasonable pattern keeping apps for iOS

Can’t import from the computer

Try to import my pattern from winstitch and it says that it can’t because it need to be an older version for it to transfer.

Upload files

This app looks promising but not being able to open my own files kind of kills it.
