User reviews

Not AT ALL intuitive

Every section requires a tutorial, which are not very easy to follow. Once the project is set up, it’s somewhat easy to follow, but if you make a mistake, it is extraordinarily difficult to fix. I had three shaded overlap rows that showed up on a single page, and I could not figure out how to fix it. I ended up restoring an earlier progress file, and I lost many marked up stitches. Now o have to go back and manually markup the stitches I’ve already done. It’s apparent that the developers put a lot of effort into the new app, but it is so much more difficult to use.

Too stressful

I’m sure it will be great once I figure out what to do but it’s thrown WAY too much information at me in the first 5 minutes, I can’t remember a single thing it’s said, I have no idea what any of the buttons do despite reading and crossing off a million pop ups, genuinely want to fling my iPad and call it a day

Markup Rx-p

This app has made stitching so much faster and a lot more fun. They are very open to suggestions to improve your stitching pleasure. If you like to stitch this is definitely the app to have.

Ridiculous cost

After using the app for 3 years you suddenly do this major update and ask for a $30 AUD annual subscription because ur “continuing to work on the app”. I honestly don’t find that a good enough justification when you could have still kept a free version of the app and then subscription users could access a premium version with all the new features and layout introduced and made that one a premium version. Definitely lost me at $30 AUD a year I may as well go back to paper pattern keeping

I have to have a free trial

There should be a clear indicator, before installing the app, that this isn’t free. I understand the need to charge, but when the button says free in the App Store, I assumed it was free.

I didn’t realize that this is a paid app. When I try to do anything it asks if I want to start a 14 day free trial. I didn’t see anywhere how much a subscription is.

FAQ

What does Markup R-XP do?

Markup R-XP is designed to help stitchers mark up any stitch chart digitally. It can load charts from PDFs or photos, automatically detect grids, symbols, and colors, and allows for on-screen markup. The app also helps track progress and stitch counts.

How does the automatic symbol and color detection work?

The app recognizes symbols within your chart and can count how many stitches are completed or remaining. If your chart includes a key, it can automatically identify the corresponding thread color for each symbol. If no key is present, you can manually assign up to four thread colors to a symbol.

Is Markup R-XP free to use?

The application is free to download and use, but it offers in-app purchases. These purchases likely unlock additional features or advanced functionalities beyond the basic markup capabilities.

What kind of charts can I mark up with this app?

You can mark up any stitch chart from any designer using Markup R-XP. The app supports loading charts in PDF format or even from photos you take, and it can automatically stitch together multi-page charts for a seamless markup experience.

Can I use my own thread colors?

Yes, the app includes built-in shade cards for popular thread brands like DMC, Anchor, and Madeira, allowing you to mark up your chart with accurate color selections. You can also manually assign thread colors to symbols if needed.
