### 1/5 — Was better before the update

*2026-07-15, version 1.2.106*

Before the update I was able to do so much more. Even though I only occasionally use my machine, it was an awesome tool. Now, I can’t do anything. Even if I make my own SVG files. Now I have to have a stupid subscription, which for someone whom occasionally uses it, it makes no sense! Dislike the app, dislike the brand. I’m looking at the competitor now.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2026-07-14, version 1.2.106*

Many Icons, but no select button. No instruction guide to be found. Nothing available at Silhouette site. Over a decade of using Silhouette I’m about to switch to the competition.

### 1/5 — Glitch!

*2026-07-10, version 1.2.106*

It will not load my library!! Grrr!

### 1/5 — This app is so slow and only works half the time

*2026-07-08, version 1.2.106*

Needs to be faster

### 3/5 — Что с приложением?

*2026-06-25, version 1.2.071*

Ещё вчера все хорошо работало, сегодня кнопка «отправить» отображается на половину в углу, и не функционирует. Не с андроид не с айфона.

### 1/5 — Katastrophal (hoch 3!)

*2026-06-25*

Seit dem neusten Update, bei dem mehr Funktionen freigeschaltet worden sind funktioniert die App überhaupt nicht mehr. Ich habe dafür bezahlt, dass ich Designer Studio habe und konnte früher Dateien von meinem iPad ausplotten, auch ohne Anmeldung - jetzt hängt sich die App auf. Meine externe Tastatur wird vom Programm nicht erkannt, sodass ich auch Texte (bspw. Namen) nicht mehr einfach in der App erstellen kann. Es ist die Pest. Keine Ahnung, was man sich dabei gedacht hat - ich hätte lieber wieder die alte Version der App ohne die ganzen Zusatzfunktionen, wenn sie dafür wenigsten läuft! Edit: Ich glaube es hackt - wenn man den Kamerazugriff der App ausschaltet (die Kamera wird als permanent sendend angezeigt, ich gehe davon aus, dass Ton ebenfalls mitgeschnitten wird, sobald die App läuft), startet die App nicht mehr. Ihr habt sie ja wohl nicht mehr alle, ich nutze den Plotter in der Schule - damit verstoßt ihr ganz klar gegen die DSGVO! Früher war das hier mal eine schlanke, datenschutzkonforme App, die stabil lief. Das ist jetzt alles passé. Ich darf mich nun nach einer Alternative umschauen.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother….

*2026-06-23, version 1.2.071*

App won’t let you log in…keeps saying “something went wrong”. Tried getting tech support, eventually they gave up as well and stopped responding. This is the only Silhouette product that I have trouble with.

### 1/5 — App is more useless than ever

*2026-06-22, version 1.2.071*

Now I can’t import an image from my iPhone 16 pro max that is on the latest version of iOS. My app is updated. Here I sit no matter what I do I can’t add an image to the app. 

What’s more concerning is the use of the camera on my phone during the entire time I’m in the app. I don’t authorize you to watch me. There is zero camera feature for the software. Therefore, shouldn’t even have access to my camera on my phone whatsoever. Nice try weirdos!

So glad I sold my machine!✌🏼

### 1/5 — Horrível

*2026-06-21*

Simplismente na presta pra nada. Fica toda hora fechando 😭

### 1/5 — Probably the worst app ive ever used

*2026-06-19, version 1.2.071*

The app sucks. The website doesnt work. I have had a terrible experience with the Cameo products

### 1/5 — カメラが常時起動

*2026-06-13*

カメラアクセスを許可しないと起動できない。許可して起動するとアプリ使用中は常時カメラを使用している(緑ランプ点灯)。何に使用しているか不明。初回The app can use the camera to trace a photo such as a logo.と出るが常時起動する意味が分からない。
常時カメラ起動するからかiPhone本体が熱くなる。

### 1/5 — Removed the free SVG use

*2026-06-13, version 1.2.071*

Got this so I don’t have to pay fees to use my own designs and now they have removed the free SVG use, so now a $400 machine is unusable to me unless I keep paying.

### 1/5 — Entrapment

*2026-06-13, version 1.2.071*

Can’t even use your own designs without a monthly subscription now, it’s like they don’t make enough money to afford such a simple feature…. 🫤

### 2/5 — Useless on iPad

*2026-06-11, version 1.2.071*

This company really has to get it together. Nothing works when using iPad.

### 2/5 — A NO GO

*2026-06-10, version 1.2.071*

I don’t like it .

### 2/5 — Connection issues and screen lock

*2026-06-09, version 1.2.071*

Got on worked great then boom could not get it to read the lines to cut…also no way to NOT print when you already have the project loaded but you have had to go out of the app and back in, so now I have 12 copies of a project and no way to cut it:(

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-05, version 1.2.071*

Almost impossible to do anything. App glitches and crashes. Always a weird glitch that makes you have to jump through hoops to work around it

### 1/5 — Frequent crashes

*2026-06-03, version 1.2.071*

App crashes all the time on iPhone 16e. Requires uninstalling the app and reinstalling everytime. Previous version crashed a lot too. They also removed features from the app and make you pay for them.

### 2/5 — Silh o nope

*2026-06-02, version 1.2.071*

Very difficult to navigate. Never seems to connect with printer. Even with updated app. Can only use laptop.

### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work

*2026-05-28, version 1.2.071*

Just typing a word is a pain. The typewriter disappears when trying to add text. Have to hold the text box with one finger to get to appear and type/delete letters just for it to stay. Moving the cursor to a specific letter resets the action of holding the text box. Just stick to the computer. App is complete Trash.

### 1/5 — Print and cut

*2026-08-21, version 1.2.106*

I love the app tremendously but the print and cut never works well for me. The registration is off with the designs on everything so I can’t give a five star. Update: nothing works at all. Brand new machine and still doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — It sucks

*2026-08-16, version 1.2.106*

I haven’t been on it in a while so now it’s telling me I no longer have a license although I did have one and I was able to use it. It has done some type of update that I hate and now I can’t use it as I used to. Telling me something about a license that I should already have because I had this app for 5+ years.

### 1/5 — Thought it would be better

*2026-08-08, version 1.2.106*

Works now (didn’t before)or at least I think it does. It won’t let me log in, because it wants to download my WHOLE library, to a PHONE. No phone has enough storage for that. Poorly designed. Would NOT recommend

### 1/5 — Unable to login in/ reset and view account

*2026-08-08, version 1.2.106*

Not enabling me to login, unable to open my library that has accumulated over 10 years

### 1/5 — FIX UR MOBILE APP

*2026-08-02, version 1.2.106*

Legit I’ve been using this app since 2019 and for some reason the software is the lowest it’s ever been, it takes I’m not even joking 30-1 hour to connect to my printer via phone. Stop making ppl buy into your shi software if your not even gonna update it, like in this year of 2026 DO BETTER this shi is so slow im bout to start painting on my clothes

### 1/5 — App broken

*2026-08-01, version 1.2.106*

Made 3 different accounts and it won’t let me sign in using any of them. Despite me just setting them up. It keeps saying “something went wrong”

### 1/5 — Sudden paywall for features it had

*2026-07-29, version 1.2.106*

Now there is a pay wall against the features I have been using for years. Con artists. This is likely class action worthy.

### 1/5 — Barely works

*2026-07-22, version 1.2.106*

Can’t even sign in anymore

### 1/5 — Update is rubbish

*2026-07-21, version 1.2.106*

Terrible update! Much harder to use and now doesn’t easily connect to Bluetooth

### 1/5 — Design won’t download

*2026-07-19, version 1.2.106*

The design I need for a project won’t download even though it was purchased directly from the design store. Also, the app constantly makes me re-download my fonts

### 5/5 — Camila

Loving this app!

### 5/5 — Great app changed the game for me

*2025-04-27, version 1.1.082*

This app worked flawless and very smooth. Was able to print designs very quickly and efficiently

### 5/5 — Smdh

*2025-03-15, version 1.1.082*

App never syncs with library which is pointless to have the app. Considering how non user friendly the create option is.. take a look and how cricuts app works and use that model

### 5/5 — Muy mal la nueva actualización

*2025-02-09, version 1.1.080*

No me deja abrir los diseños de la biblioteca

### 5/5 — Schade

*2025-01-07*

Schade das man in der App nicht alle Funktionen nutzen kann wie z.b. in Überlänge schneiden!

### 5/5 — Funcional y práctica

*2024-12-19, version 1.1.080*

Nunca la había usado y fue muy fácil de usar y el resultado excelente
