What free trial?

I just downloaded this and was told you have a 7 day trial, but instead I was charged immediately.

Response from developer

Thank you for downloading Quilt Geek! I'm sorry to hear about the confusion with the subscription. The 7-day free trial is specifically for the yearly subscription option. If you selected a monthly or 3-month subscription, those do charge immediately as they don't include a trial period. This information is also clearly communicated in the app when you're selecting your subscription option. During the purchase process, the app store always shows a confirmation window that clearly displays exactly how much you'll be charged and when (including whether a free trial is included). This gives you a chance to review the details before completing the purchase. If you selected the yearly subscription and were charged immediately without receiving your 7-day free trial, that would definitely be an error. Please reach out to us directly at hello@designedtoquilt.com and we'll help investigate what happened. We appreciate your feedback and want to make sure you have a great experience with Quilt Geek!

Love the Calculators

Great little app with great calculators.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the calculators and finding the app helpful for your quilting projects. Happy quilting!

Misleading-not free!

7 day free trial only. Then there’s a subscription fee. I cannot find the “manage subscription “ area to cancel. Afraid I’ll get stuck with a fee and couldn’t find where to cancel in App Store either. So misleading of Apple App Store and developer!!!

Response from developer

Thank you for reaching out! I completely understand your concern. Just so clarify, the Binding and Backing calculators are completely free to use without any subscription. The other calculators require a subscription to access. All app subscriptions purchased through the App Store are managed directly through Apple, not within the app itself. This is standard for all iOS apps. You can find your subscriptions by going to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions on your iPhone or iPad. As long as you cancel before the 7-day free trial ends, you won't be charged anything. You can cancel at any time during the trial and still use the app for the full 7 days. Apple designed the subscription system this way for all apps in the App Store to keep all your subscriptions in one central location. This isn't something we as developers control, but I understand it can be confusing! If you have any trouble or questions, feel free to reach out to us at hello@designedtoquilt.com.

Helpful

I started out doing more simple quilting, but when this app became available, I started challenging myself with more intricate, detailed or difficult quilting. If I ran into a problem, I could email and get an answer right away to help me continue with my project . I love this app. It helps in so many ways, especially saving money By not buying too much or too little material needed for a project.

Unsatisfied Due to Deceptive Marketing

Very disappointing! On searching for free quilting calculators, this app shows up. It appears helpful, but as it is installing and setting up, it shows that it is a free trial for a designated time period. After the time period, it will then charge a ~$30 fee. This is deceitful because this information is not shown in the App Store. Due to this deceitful marketing without showing up front that it’s a free trial and then an annual fee, I will not participate in using this app and have deleted it. I want to support truthful marketers who are transparent about the product and cost to me up front.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback — I’m sorry for the confusion. I want to clarify how Quilt Geek works: two calculators (the binding and backing calculators) are completely free to use forever. The App Store labels Quilt Geek as “Free” because it really is free to download and use those calculators without ever upgrading. The optional trial and subscription only apply if you’d like to unlock all of the additional 20+ calculators and features. We’ll look into making this clearer in our description so no one feels surprised. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience — transparency matters to us, and we’re always working on making sure quilters know exactly what to expect.

Not user friendly.

I got an email from a quilting blog I follow and they said that this app would help me with my math calculations for quilting. I downloaded it and tried to follow the guide to use the app as intended. Set up for the free trial of the entire app. It was a complete waste of time. It was not user friendly whatsoever for a beginner quilter. I would not recommend this app at all.

Response from developer

We’re really sorry to hear you didn’t have a good experience with our app. We know quilting math can already feel overwhelming, and the last thing we’d want is for the app to add to that frustration. Many quilters (including lots of beginners) have found it helpful and easy once they get the hang of it, so it’s unfortunate that it didn’t feel that way for you. If there’s anything specific we can do to help — whether it’s walking you through the features step-by-step or answering questions directly — we’d love the chance to make it right. Please feel free to reach out to us at hello@designedtoquilt.com.

Time and Money Saver!

I think the best thing about the Quilt Geek app is how easy it is to use. I just plug in basic info about the quilt that I already know and up pops the fabric requirements. No more guessing on my part about how much yardage I need. This app is both a time and money saver. Love it!

Response from developer

Thank you so much! We’re thrilled to hear Quilt Geek is making your quilting easier and more efficient. That’s exactly what we built it for — to save time, reduce guesswork, and let you focus on the fun part: quilting! 🧵💛

Do not buy SCAM!!

It does do any of the things it said it would do. I put in the measurements and it came back with the same answer 1. No matter what you put in.

Response from developer

Hi there — we’re sorry to hear you had trouble, but we can assure you this isn’t accurate. The app calculates based on the values you enter, and thousands of happy users can confirm that it works as expected. We’d love to help figure out what went wrong. Please feel free to reach out to us at hello@designedtoquilt.com so we can take a closer look together.

Well Worth It

This app saved me from my miscalculation of sashing as I needed more fabric than I thought and less fabric for my squares. With the high cost of fabric lately, miscalculating can be costly AND trying to buy more fabric for sashing can prove to be a matching disaster if you run out before the quilt is done! I appreciate this app so much!

not a free app

Tried to get me in an auto-renewing subscription before I could even see the app. Don’t list an app as free if the only free option is a 7 day trial.

Response from developer

Hi there — we hear your frustration, and we want to clarify: the app does include two free calculators (Binding and Backing) that are always available without a subscription. The 7-day trial is for full access to all premium tools, but you can use the free ones anytime. We’re committed to being transparent and helpful — if you have any questions, feel free to reach out at hello@designedtoquilt.com.

Wow…just Wow!!

I absolutely love this app. As an experienced quilter I’m always “doing the math.” I’m good at math but it takes time to make the calculations and woe is me if I’m wrong. This app gives me all the information I need right at my fingertips and leaves me a lot more time to do what I love….Quilting. It has really changed the game for me and I’m ever grateful to its developers.

Don’t get this app

This app ask your email to send a verification code. The code doesn’t unlock any features. You must pay $3.99 for one month to use the features. This is a waste of time.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear you've had a bad experience. The app is subscription-based for full access to 20+ calculators and charts, but the binding and backing & batting calculators are always free to use. If you’d like to try all the calculators, the yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial, which you can cancel anytime during the trial period without charge.

Great for stash busting

Quilt Geek does so much more than I thought it would, especially giving most efficient cutting layouts. I’m just getting back to quilting after a long break and this app gives me the confidence to just dive in and use what I have on-hand.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so glad to hear that Quilt Geek is helping you get back into quilting with confidence. Wishing you many fun and creative quilting moments ahead!

Very helpful

As someone who often just wings it when quilting, this is a great app. I just finish piecing the top and fill out the measurements on the app and bingo! Know how much yardage I need for backing and/or binding. Super easy and super fast. Plus doesn’t test my math skills.

Response from developer

We love hearing that Quilt Geek is making quilting even easier for you! Keep on quilting, and thanks for the awesome feedback!

Thank you!

This app has made my life so much easier. My quilt math is bad but with this app there’s no chance of underestimating the amount of backing fabric I need to order or the length of binding I need or … the list could go on and on. Thank you Quilt Geek!

Response from developer

We're so happy to hear Quilt Geek is making your quilting process smoother! Thanks so much for the great review, and happy quilting!

Quilt Geek calculator

As a seasoned quilter, I purchased this app with no expectations & hoped features listed would be helpful in determining quick calculations with block building without a pattern. To my delight, the tools within this app are amazing. I love the math accuracy and options on determining block size “finished” or “unfinished”. I’ve used the Quilt Top borders calculator (mitered & non) that provides the strips to cut & yardage amount; the half sq and flying geese calculations are extremely accurate with simple cutting methods. This app is full of any possible scenario a quilter might encounter, i.e. how to use my existing fabric stash & design a block, determine top layouts, viewing borders & display sashing layouts, & using fabric saving cut layouts. The best part of this app, I am able to save my projects and quickly retrieve them while shopping in fabric stores or online. I’ve shared this app with other quilt guild members and they seemed impressed with so many options. I did consider buying computer quilt software but honestly having this available in my phone is much more efficient and easy to use. I know this was long but wanted other quilters to be aware of QG.
