### 3/5 — Не стоит

*2026-08-20*

Плохо делает схемы, очень пожалела что купила, не стоит. Нет возможности выбрать размер

### 1/5 — Do not waste your money!

*2026-06-27*

I bought the ad-free version of this app, and things were going great for a while. However, that’s not the case anymore. It usually works for small patterns, but my it does not work AT ALL for my larger pattern (150x150). The app crashes every single time I try to use the feature that marks finished stitches. It’s actually unusable for this pattern that took so long for me to make!

### 3/5 — More colours please

*2026-04-12*

I really love this app, and it’s been amazing for making my own patterns. But I feel super limited with the colour options, more colours would be awesome, or even just adding a colour wheel so people can pick their own.

### 5/5 — It’s great

*2026-03-22*

Upgraded to pro pretty quickly. Love the mark stitches option and different stitches for colors that are close and hard to tell. 

Kids love it for needlecraft patterns too. The idea they just can to pixel art and then sew it makes them excited 👍

### 1/5 — Paid version stills needs ads to function.

*2026-02-12*

Paid version still requires ads to use app.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-10-26*

Enfin une appli où je peux créer mes patrons de points de croix. J’ai déjà fait quelques tests et franchement c’est nickel. Avec toute les couleur DMC c’est parfait. Je l’utilise sur mon téléphone mais bientôt sur tablette. J’ai trop trop hâte.

### 1/5 — DO NOT UPGRADE TO PRO

*2025-10-16*

I upgraded to the pro version and it got rid of a lot of the features I liked about the app!!! I mean who makes you pay and takes things away?!? I cannot change my canvas size to 18 or type anymore! Just crazy!

### 4/5 — Ótimo app

*2025-10-01*

Gostei demais do app! So podia ter um jeito de salvar em tamanhos maiores para imprimir. Escolher imprimir em paisagem, ou em múltiplas páginas… ajudaria muito!

### 3/5 — Can’t really write a review?

*2025-08-12*

I chose the demo version before committing to this app as there are several to choose from. I couldn’t draw any design without upgrading to a pro so I have ditched the app. Also 4+ years with only one review seemed a little too suspicious to purchase. Gave three stars as I’m not sure what the app is like in the pro version and giving few stars didn’t seem entirely fair.

### 5/5 — Best app

*2025-07-24*

I have tried several apps for designing my own patterns and this is the best one in my opinion, I upgraded to PRO in no time. It would be great if it would be possible to share the patterns between iPhone and IPad, so far I just managed to save as a photo or PDF, but a shared library would be great, just to work on a same project from both devices. maybe in a next upgrade?? Thanks for this great app!
