### 5/5 — Cross stitcher

*2023-08-24*

Every issue inspires me to stitch a new project.

### 1/5 — Very Disappointed

*2023-06-06*

I have this app on my iPad, I went to open it to look at some designs I wanted to start, only to find the App wouldn’t open. I rebooted my iPad, still the app wouldn’t open so I deleted the app and reinstalled only to find the magazines I had purchased, through my Apple account, have gone and when I tap on the reload purchases bought through Apple NOTHING happens. At this point in time I am angry and very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Useless!

*2023-02-05*

This app crashes every time. I can’t use it!

### 1/5 — Crossstitcher

*2021-09-16*

Do NOT buy magazines through this app. Bought a full years subscription and also purchased numerous other earlier magazines. They updated the app and I could no longer access any of them. After contacting them on numerous occasions they could not solve the problem. LOTS of money wasted!!!

### 1/5 — 2021

*2021-09-14*

It’s 2021 and I still can’t get my issues off my 2009 iPad. I still feel some kind of way about this. Money wasted. I have 19 issues I hope my old iPad never stops working. And I don’t trust you all now to buy anything on your latest app so I buy all my issues from ZINIO.

### 1/5 — No Good.

*2021-04-24*

This used to work brilliantly but now it will not even open the app. So it is useless and I have paid for a years subscription. So imagine my disappointment. Not happy.

### 1/5 — Terrible update

*2021-01-04*

Since the update unable to purchase any new issues. Please rectify!!!!!

### 1/5 — What Changed?

*2020-11-30*

Normally I love this app but I have not been able to purchase the latest 2 issues. The “buy” button doesn’t do anything anymore. It won’t even show the price.

### 1/5 — There’s no option for printing!!!

*2020-03-03, version 6.0.6*

I’m paying my money and don’t have any possibility to have a good sample for stitching. Or maybe you think I want to work directly from the monitor in order to loose my vision?

### 5/5 — App upgrade

*2020-02-05*

This is my favorite cross stitch magazine. There was a glitch with the update where past issues weren’t visible; however, the company worked quickly to resolve the issue. Within a few days all the issues were visible again AND it works with pocketmags so I can view my subscription online as well as on my iPad. 

Great job resolving the glitch! Works seamlessly!
