What's New in Quilt Wizard

2.5.5

April 12, 2020

Refresh for iOS 13

User reviews

Too limited.

Great idea but too limited. I’m doing a brick pattern and there’s no way to see that layout. Also pretty hard to figure out step by step. This should be free until it’s better.

No Hexies

There are no options for any hexagonal designs so can’t use it sadly.

Love/hate

I love the ability to use photos of my fabrics but need the ability to scale them. Also need to be able to go larger than 9 columns/rows. Ability to rotate blocks is also needed. So it leaves me loving and hating the app. So close yet so far from where if like it to be. Really hoping to see updates with some improvements!

Love this app! Please make the Companion app available for the iPhone!

I’ve been using the Quilt Wizard app and the Quilt Wizard Companion app almost as long as I’ve been quilting, which is about 7 years. I use the apps exclusively on my iPad because the Companion app is only available for iPad, and I use them all the time! That being said, please release the Quilt Wizard Companion app for the iPhone in addition to the iPad. It would be amazing to have both apps on both devices. There are many times that I want to work on a quilt design but I don’t have my iPad, and unfortunately the Quilt Wizard doesn’t have the block design I need. So I have to wait to do anything. Please release the Companion app for the iPhone! I think it would make a lot of people very happy!

Almost perfect!

This is a remarkably good app. The level of customisation is brilliant compared to other similar apps I've tried. The ability to photograph my fabric collection and then be able to see that fabric arranged as a quilt makes planning a project much simpler - though be warned, make sure you take the time to adjust the photos so that the colour and lighting genuinely matches reality, or else you could spend hours on a design only to find out that the colours you chose don’t actually go together as well as they did on the screen. One thing that you need to know is that there is a companion app that goes with this one - Quilt Wizard Companion I think it’s called - that lets you create and install your own blocks. The block library included in Quilt Wizard is really good, but realising that I could make my own was a real game changer. The only reason the app doesn’t get a perfect score is just that the controls are a little clunky and unintuitive, and it lacks some features that I really think would improve the experience - but overall it’s a great app, and honestly I don’t think I would enjoy quilting nearly as much without it. Thank you!
