User reviews

Has great potential !!

Update: I figured it out. Save as paint and then the app will allow more editing

WISH LIST:
I want to be able to select and colorize cells or columns or grids.
Also a copy feature would be great.

Thank you.

Can’t draw on it?

Can’t draw on it

Works for me.

I’m drawing and designing needlework stitches, mainly for needlepoint and embroidery.
This is the only app I’ve found that I’ve found that’s simple enough.

There used to be some software we could order but it’s no longer available.

All I need is lines, both straight and curved, and a good range of colors.
This is the only app I’ve found that fits my needs.

In fact, this is the only thing I’ve found that even comes close which is very surprising.

Perfect w/ a suggestion

This app was just what I wanted. Perfect, with a caveat.
I wanted an app to help me in designing, or editing, a Bargello quilt design. This app was a perfect solution. It allowed me to choose the size of grid I wanted (68x108) and to copy or import a picture file onto the grid. The picture underlying the grid let me see that my calculated grid size was off by a few rows AND I was able to adjust the grid to fit the actual “size I need.
The only suggestions I would make would be to allow the modification of individual rows (horizontally and vertically), and to allow substitution of color to the imported picture; ie from original purple to blue. This app would be a great addition for quilters.

Fantastic

I love this app for all kinds of grid types. I use it for weaving pattern grids, who’s is like pixel art. Being able to add row and column numbers is nice. So many choices! I recommend this app to anyone that needs regular spaced lines and shapes for their projects
