### 1/5 — Downloaded this app under false pretenses

*2021-07-29*

App does not do any of what it advertises. Drop box will not import, I’ve tried everything and it was a waste of money. Psh! 5 Star review for a free expansion pack?  What marketing!

### 1/5 — False description

*2021-05-07, version 3.9*

The app is only to preview 10-12 free graphics, cannot edit. If need to edit or add letters...etc. need to pay more ～ hkd 398 + hkd 398 - app developer should state this very clearly In the description. Or simply allows download the app for free, and have the users pay afterward! Didn’t expect paying hkd 238 for an app that’s only to preview, no editing or whatsoever. Such a scam.

### 1/5 — Not Worth $30

*2021-01-16*

It’s just not worth it. You can only use the premade designs without paying more and the Dropbox file setup thru the app does not show any files

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2020-10-05*

I have used this Embroidery software for all my projects for the last four years.  It is a great bang for your buck.  Perfect for the beginner embroiderer who does not want to make a big investment in software.  You can import, manipulate, and customize anything.  The huge plus is you can do it on your iPad.  I do not think there is any other embroidery software that bypasses the need for a computer.  You can not believe the stuff I have made with this little app....

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2020-05-25*

I’m new to embroidery so this is perfect for starters. I’d give this 10 stars if I could since it gives me easy relatively cheap access to edit and everything stitches out great even if I edit a lot.
Tips:
1)  to import designs , save them to your iCloud and use “share” from your device to copy to Drawings.. the Dropbox and other methods don’t work for me.
2) when you save an imported design it goes to “my designs” so you have to go back and switch categories.
I don’t mind these things, but it was confusing at first for me - hope this helps someone!

I would definitely buy more modules if the come available- fingers crossed! I would really like to be able to split designs and be able to create simple designs with line work and easy access to add basic shapes with fill. Filling custom shapes with features for shape merge/join/remove for overlapping and outline options would be amazing.

### 1/5 — COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!

*2020-04-03*

If you have an IPad do not even bother getting this app.  I wish I had read the reviews before I bough it.  I asked for my money back and never heard back.  Can not get the app to work it keeps crashing!

### 3/5 — DraWings

*2020-02-13, version 3.9*
