Fails to Refresh Purchase

Old iPad died. Had to replace with a new iPad. I could open the app and see the green check mark which shows I purchased a subscription but the app would not refresh my purchase so that I could open my job to start marking up my stitches using the new iPad. My Apple Customer Service advised that it is a developer problem. However I was already in touch with this developer and they could not refresh my purchase. The said Apple Customer Support could handle my problem. I asked for a refund and I’ve lost months of work.

I ended up canceling / deleting the App from my device. I re-installed Markup RXP to start a new subscription because it’s so user friendly to work with. I love how it works.

Instant crash...help please!

I’ve heard amazing things about this app my other Cross-Stitchers.

So I was very disappointed when I finally was able to download it and it immediately crashed after the title screen. I can’t even get the app to open at all. Please help me, I would love to be able to change my review to five stars!

Best enabling tool - for Cross Stitch Addiction

I’ve been using this app for several years, ever since the cross stitch bug hit me. It is straightforward to upload patterns, easy to mark them up and provides that sharp dopamine rush as you see the % completed creep upwards.

The only fly in this wonderful ointment is what’s missing. I really wish there was some way to take the floss lists from more than one pattern and turn it into a consolidated shopping list. Basically I want the features I’m used to from the inventory management systems of manufacturing companies in the app I use for my hobby. I said it was a wish, but a girl can dream….

I only put this here because the app is very good at interpreting a variety of formats of floss lists and keys from the patterns uploaded. And it is simple to change one colour for another, if you want to.

A game changer

I used to copy and paste smaller areas of my patterns into PowerPoint making it easier for my old eyes to see the different thread codes after I enlarged them. Some of my patterns got to be 30 pages.
My daughter showed me what she uses and insisted I use this. And am I glad she did!
Click on the code I’m stitching and it’s highlighted so I just need to concentrate on it.
Get the app.

So expensive

I was enjoying this app, but suddenly locking everything behind a paywall of $30AUD a year is rediculous

Great app

This app allows me to do cross stitch patterns that I wouldn’t be able to do without it. I love it!!!!

Blackwork, backstitch, fractional stitches and French knots

I love how easy this app makes it to keep track of what I’m working on, but I would love it if there was some way to mark up blackwork patterns, backstitch, fractional stitches and French knots. I can fiddle it with patterns that include partial stitches, and even work out where basic backstitching and French knots go by adding the pattern to the Pictures tab as well as the Markup tab, but can’t mark them up. Blackwork is more complicated and I’d love to be able to track progress in the same way as I can track basic cross stitch.

App Owner is Fabulous!

This cross stitch app is the only one my family and I use. It has wonderful functionality and the beauty is that you can load paper patterns which is all our family uses. I’ve been really struggling getting a large paper pattern loaded, so reached out to James for help. He was able to get the pattern loaded and helped my understanding along the way. James, thank you so much! Family members each have paid for the subscription for years and we agree, this is one of our most used apps. Thank you for allowing for us to vote for future enhancements. Looking forward to future updates.

Bring your projects to life!

What a fantastic app! It really brings the patterns to life. I love that you can see how much longer the project will take, how many stitches are remaining of each color, and even the amount of time you are spending stitching each day. I cannot even imagine using a paper pattern anymore. This is great!

Frustrated

I don’t understand the great reviews. Doesn’t work as shown in the video. I cannot highlight just one symbol, I am completely frustrated and would like my money back. Paid for a year and have already canceled my subscription, just downloaded it an hour ago.

Subscription for No Updates

Yeah, this app is probably the best in the iOS ecosystem, but paying for a subscription with no updates in two years is a joke. PDFs import blurry, the UX is a bit clunky, no real ability to detect fractional stitches is upsetting. So it works fine enough, but it’s disappointing to pay for access to something when it’s not actively getting better

LOVE THIS!!!!

Absolutely incredible!!! I would never be able to cross stitch without this. It has helped to keep my project sooo organized and even has an ‘end date’ to plan accordingly! It keeps track of the amount of stitches you do daily. It allows you to mark every stitch easily so you never miss a stitch and you can find all of the symbols of one kind across each page with ease!!! I would highly recommend to all cross stitchers out there! YOU NEED THIS! It is a game changer :)

So Great for Cross-Stitch

Markups-XP has changed my life and my joy of stitching. I am currently doing a project that has almost 50,000 stitches. When I printed out the pattern there were 37 sheets. So confusing. With MarkupR-XP it is so easy to see where you are and what you’ve completed. Thank you

NOPE

Symbol detection is extremely inconsistent rendering the app as useless. It can’t be trusted. Going back to Pattern Keeper. Too bad as I really liked the statistics.

Subscription not recognised

really enjoyed the app during the trial, unfortunately i paid for the subscription several days ago and the app hasn’t recognised it. Tried deleting the app and reinstalling as well as several other suggestions from the FAQ which didn’t work and also couldn’t get a refund on the apple store

Great app, but…

I have been using this app for cross-stitching for a long time and love it. The ONLY improvement to it would be using an Apple pen to mark backstitching. Please make this possible so that I can give the app 5 stars.

Application top mais…

Cette application est une belle découverte mais j’aurai une critique, on ne peut pas synchroniser nos encours sur 2 appareils (IPhone vers IPad ou inversement). Dommage

Useful App

I like the app but there are some things that are not very good for me. When linking the pages, it is a bit confusing. Otherwise the app is great!

Can’t get full version in the US

I have loved the app, yet when my trial was over I couldn’t get the full version?? It’s in pounds but won’t convert to dollars. This is the only app of its kind yet I can’t use it. Willing to change my review once this is fixed.

This sounds like hyperbole

This may sound like hyperbole, but this app has absolutely changed the game for my cross stitching. It is wonderful! I can keep up with each stitch I have made and miss far fewer. The speed with which I work is so much higher, and that instant gratification in seeing a project come together is wonderful. Love this app.
