### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-01-06*

I got this app thinking I would be able to keep track of my thread supply. It does not allow me to enter anything into the app. I enter all the information in. It the save button is not highlighted so it doesn’t save anything in any of the categories, even though I purchased the pro version. This app is absolutely useless.

### 1/5 — Not what I wanted

*2024-06-25*

I was hoping this app would organize my fabric and my other quilting notions a little better than it does. It is extremely basic. I’m not sure if I signed up for a subscription or if I just purchased it for $3.99. But I can’t find out because I can’t contact them.

**Developer response:** Hi,

First of all, thank you for downloading & purchasing our in app purchase! To answer your question, it is in app purchase (one time purchase), not a subscription. The title of the page is wrong & we will update that in the next release.

I am so sorry this app is not what you are looking for. We just redesign the app, hence that the reason, it is simple for now. We are currently gathering some idea for new features & if you have one, feel free to email us at sewbuddy01@gmail.com! 

Sorry & thank you again!

### 3/5 — Good starting point

*2020-09-30*

I like the app but it definitely needs improvement, the camera view for the photo is completely mis-aligned, I had to take 3 or 4 pics for each fabric to get it into the frame.
It will be nice to be able to add the weight of the fabric and be able to filter by it or color, etc (not just search by words in the title)

### 2/5 — Contacted developer for support - no response!

*2020-08-28*

Paid for the premium version but it does not sync between my devices, doesn’t remember my display settings nor does the app remember my preferred measurements of metres.
Everytime I add a fabric the app force closes and resets my preferences.
Wish these things could be fixed!

### 2/5 — Would be great if...

*2020-08-22*

1. It would stop crashing after hitting the “save” button. 

2. It would “sync” over to my phone like it’s supposed to after paying the $5 

Other than those two things it would be amazing.

### 4/5 — Great app, but could use some improvement

*2019-03-04*

It is nice to have all my patterns available at a glance, but there are some areas that need improvement. First, it would be nice to sort the patterns alphabetically, or by type of pattern (shirt/pants/etc). Also, a barcode scanner would be amazing. Another app had it, but it only works for Vogue patterns 😡. Finally, it would be great if we could add a second picture, for the back of the envelope, instead of typing everything out in the notes section...

### 4/5 — I like it but

*2018-09-30*

It could use just a little more to entice me to buy it. A section for notions, trim, maybe books🤗?  Easy to use, easy to navigate, easy and quick to add items.
