The best cross stitch markup app out there

In my opinion, this is currently the best markup app for cross stitch. If you’re considering purchasing, however, ***read the section on compatible file types first — it does not work with PDF files unless the design is converted to one of the supported file types.

The customization possibilities are amazing! I’ve been using the app for 2 years and am still discovering new features. I hope that the developer will update the support document to reflect the changes in the interface and other changes/updates. It has so many features that it can feel overwhelming at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s a joy to stitch with.

Perhaps someday she can make it compatible with PDF patterns, but I still love it. More designers are becoming aware of it and are willing to provide a compatible file format when asked.

So disappointed! Heartbroken.

This app requires your PDF to their SAGA format. I can only find services, not apps, to do this and they charge $10 to $30 per pattern file. AI can’t convert it either. So I clicked support when it takes me to a web page in maybe Russian??? So no support, for an app that cost $15, that doesn’t work with a PDF, and in a language I do not read or speak. Ugh.

Response from developer

Hello. All the supported file formats for this application are listed in English in the application's description in Apple App Store that is available for you before purchase. Also, the base application's language is English, which is also the language in which we do technical support as well.

Disappointed

I know I can’t get a refund.. hopefully $$ will be put to good use. I can’t find any patterns I want using this format ( I did find some AI patterns that I won’t buy). Will continue using my other app and write this off as a big mistake.

Application indispensable

Lorsque vous faites du point de croix, beaucoup de designers fournissent des fichiers en .saga. L’application permet vraiment de suivre l’avancement de mes points de croix notamment les plus complexes comprenant plusieurs pages de diagrammes.

Broderie

Je pensais m'en passer et je suis agréablement surprise de la pertinence et intuitivité de cette appli pour broder.
Je mets 4 car pas de français donc difficile car très très complète. Pourriez-vous nous proposer une traduction française s'il vous plait ? Merci
