### 1/5 — Unusable

*2023-08-19, version 3.2*

I bought a pattern and was given a link to use this interactive pattern but the app is unusable. It won’t load when I try to sign up, just freezes. The app crashes when I try to load my saved pattern on it. Totally unable to test this app, which is disappointing because it looks promising. I will try again if these issues are addressed.

### 1/5 — Website looks great but can’t open photo from device

*2021-06-11*

I am sure it’s a bug but it won’t let me open a photo or take a new photo, so for now the app is useless to me. I am waiting for contact from the developer and will update the review when they fix this.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2021-05-16*

I keep opening it and pressing the picture but it just kicks me off once it gets to the image

### 1/5 — Unable to use my own images to create patterns

*2020-12-16, version 3.2*

Unable to import a photo from my device, let alone the sign up and pay a subscription debacle. It would be great if it works! Please beware you will need to sign up and pay a subscription. Keeps going to the App Store to download the app repeatedly. Promising app but currently unusable.

### 5/5 — 1starLIAR

*2020-08-13*

I have to say that one review had me worried. Then again they gave no explanation as to why they’d give “0 star if they could” 
ANYWAYS! I am super impressed with your app I tested it using an animated pic and then again using a “live action” pic (not sure if that’s the correct term but I’m sure y’all understand me lol) and omg it loaded so fast and gave so many options I knew I had to come and rant and rave about this app. I really 100% recommend this app! :)

### 1/5 — Not great....

*2020-08-13*

This app *only* transforms pictures into patterns. That’s it. 

And if you don’t care for how the program handled a couple of stitches, well too bad, because you can’t edit them (I don’t think). At least I couldn’t figure out how to do it on my phone, because on my iPad, the app would never even open my picture roll to even begin the process. 

If you happen to actually like the pattern it produces, it’s $3 a pop. Not a flat fee for the whole program, which I would prefer. And keep in mind that it transforms the entire picture, background included, and since I couldn’t edit the patterns, I couldn’t delete the hundreds of ridiculous “stitches” it gave me as a background that just looks stupid. 

StitchSketch may have no more updates/support and its little quirks but it’s still miles ahead of whatever this is trying to be.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2020-05-21*

If I could give it zero stars I would!

**Developer response:** Why? Could you please provide details?
