User reviews

Nice UI, cute design, needs some work

I wanted to give this app a go because the other free cross-stitch organizing apps I’ve tried were either really limited without a subscription, didn’t have thread inventory with visible colors, or were just more basic-looking. I really like this one but it has some issues like not allowing you to edit project info once you’ve saved it. When you add a thread color to your inventory you can’t save the hue you select from the color wheel and there’s no way to exit the menu so I have to restart the app. To change the thread color you have to select the default hex and paste the right one over it instead of being able to backspace and type. I haven’t tried all of the features yet like the stopwatch, but so far I do prefer this to other free ones.
