### 1/5 — GREEDY COMPANY - GARBAGE SOFTWARE

*2024-10-15*

Cutting a simple square now requires a paid subscrption. 

Since my original purchase, Cricut has decided that they are going to charge me to use a simple square object. This wasn't the case when I purchased the machine. I need to produce simple divider cards (rectangular with rounded corners) in various sizes. Nothing more. The old Design Space app worked fine - but, of course, this puke of a company has pulled a "bait and switch" since taking my money. 

I'm not interested in a relationship with an ongoing subsciption.

This is a "bait and switch". 
Tell me where to sign up for the class action lawsuit! I'm in!!!

Vile business practices. I can't wait to watch Cricut sink due to morte honorable competition.

### 3/5 — Not wanting this program

*2024-10-07*

Complicated 
You must have many tools to utilize properly.

### 1/5 — Frustrating to Navigate

*2024-09-15*

I spend hours designing and the new "upgrade" won't allow me to access my previously purchased fonts. Once I waded through a ton of fonts to settle on a couple that are not ideal, the program only allows me to save to my computer.  There's no way to get to where it would print on my Cricut.  AND it required a monthly subscription for this!  Beyond frustrated.  They took a good product (Design Studio) and im my opinion, wrecked it.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2024-08-30*

This is not user friendly, shame on you for designing such a frustrating machine. I am educated and through graduate school . I can program medical transducers as well as multiple drug pumps simultaneously while running an anesthesia machine and computer. You have really failed in directions with icons etc. Putting a sticker on a coffee cup shouldn’t be rocket science. I paid 400$ for this useless machine that I will give away. I should have known better.

### 1/5 — Hate it!

*2024-07-22*

the new version of this is awful. I cant find any of my old saved projects from before the switch. Not user friendly anymore. no messurments on sizing... Horrible

### 1/5 — Terminate subscription immediately

*2024-04-17*

Cancel subscription

### 5/5 — test

*2024-04-17*

m m km,

### 2/5 — Terrible Software

*2024-02-25*

The mobile version of Design Space is AWFUL. Clunky interface, not intuitive ways to select items and worst of all it crashes every other time I get to the screen where you can rearrange things on the mat. 

I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall the app multiple times and am having the same issue. Each time I have to go and rearrange the graphics on the mat again, and hope that it doesnt freeze on a loading screen so that I can get to the point where I can actually cut my design.

As someone who is a graphic designer and knows what a software for graphics should perform like, this is awful user experience. 

To top it off there are no 3rd party software that can plug into the Cricut machine itself, to operate it outside of Design Space.

My advice to the developers at Cricut — either allow apps from 3rd party developers to run your product or do something about the terrible UX of your software.

### 1/5 — inferior to the iphone version

*2024-02-25*

just sad that the capabilities are inferior to the phone version.  less options, less design tools, even compared to pro versions on both. How can a desk top version be so bad?

### 1/5 — TRASH

*2024-01-25*

New design space is absolute trash and unuseable
