### 5/5 — Retract old review

*2024-06-11*

Ok… so it took reading the full instructional manual to love this app. It is fun and easy. It makes designing and changing designs fast. The warping tracker is great!… so much better than my sticky note to keep my place during warping 🤣.

Wish it had:
A center marker. Sure it’s easy to find yourself, but on larger warps it would be nice just to have a mark.

A way to check off / and it rate designs. I have several I have created on the app, but haven’t woven yet. As well as several I have made & really like. ( so far I have just created a faves folder for those ) 

A color collection ( also something I have created .. I made a chart and stripes with all the colors I have with identifying names. I go to my color collection to draw from… otherwise you are always gathering from other projects.

Overall, love it👍🩷

### 2/5 — Confusing

*2024-05-18*

I am a skilled inkle weaver and am familiar with designing my own patterns, so I know the sorts of things I am trying to do here…
Cannot seem to figure out … ( and there doesn’t seem to be any instructions for use) 
1. How to easily create a library of colors from which to choose…. So far when trying it out I have to make a list for each new design and borrow from those lists to make a new one.
2. Using all the bottom options below…
I want a symmetrical design. Button that looks like that, doesn’t do that however.
Others are dimmed out/ cannot utilize 
Overall it looks great, but not super user friendly.
3. Center line identifier? This is helpful especially on larger warps.
Overall looks good, but not very user friendly.
