Great design editor

This is my go to app for editing embroidery designs. I took one star off for lack of continuity. The iPad version lacks the features contained in iMac version.

Very difficult to use

The old version was easy to use, but since the made the changes some years ago I find this almost impossible to use

Great App!

I’ve been using this app for a few years now and love it! I mainly use it to view my file designs on my iPhone or iPad before saving to a usb to stitch out.

DO NOT BUY

This is a complete scam. It does not work and the tutorials tell you nothing

No free trial $20 to try app pretty much

So I downloaded stitch buddy and I can’t practice with the design that they offer to see if I like the app because it’s over 1,000 stitches. I don’t know where to go to try a free trial because I’m not spending $20 for an app before I can even try it out. I am new to embroidery and have been looking for a app to resize my files as I can only do 4x4 designs but I think you should be able to test the app out before you pay $20 for it.

Response from developer

Try the app either with any of your own designs with less then 1,000 stitches or delete parts of the sample file to make it smaller. It's not easy to find a balance between some meaningful trial version, and encouraging people to pay for a software - especially as this is no subscription, but a lifetime license.

Buyer beware (downloads are nonrefundable)

Before you purchase, make sure this program will open your files and you can change the size if needed. I have files that it will work with, but I also have files that this program will not open due to the creator putting in the size that reads 550inches. Way too big. Must be a typo but I have 2 files written this way. 😟

A better alternative is Embrilliance Essentials. Very intuitive and works with ALL my files just fine. It cost more, but it is sure worth it!

You‘re reviewing an iOS app based on experiences with a macOS program - and you are recommending a macOS app … strange. As I answered to your mail and the macOS review: StitchBuddy can only save PES designs in the mentioned format version, which has a size limitation - well documented in the app's description, website etc. Giving a 1-star rating for a documented restriction is harsh, especially after I mentioned a bypass solution and the option of a refund by mail...

Doesn’t work for IPad

I’ve watched several videos and none of the features show up in my app. Very frustrated really wanted this to work.

Excellent App for IPad

I got excellent customer service quickly! It is a great app for those of us without a computer to import, export and be able to do some editing of designs. I would highly recommend!

This application needs help! No option to save file in desired format to jump drive.

Offer a free trial

No way to genuinely test the app before shelling out $20. Offer a free trial for users to see if this is an app worth using.

Not what i expected

My review seemed to to have disappeared which is weird. The problem I have is the way the app shows all of the files in your phone. The developer assured me that they aren’t being uploaded, just available on my device only. That’s comforting but it would be nice to not have every file I have in my phone show up on the app- be more selective about it. Plus apparently this isn’t an app that you can make designs with so if that’s what you have in mind I don’t think that works. I gave 3 stars because the developer actually responded.

No idea what happened to your review … and my former response, that‘s weird. StitchBuddy uses the same document browser as other apps, giving you a way to navigate through all storage locations (including cloud storage) and open designs from there. The time when apps were restricted to their „container“ are clearly gone, and maybe the most recent video tutorial at StitchBuddy‘s website helps to benefit from the new file management capabilities.

Brilliant!

Just started machine embroidery and this app is marvellous for those little tweaks like resizing and changing the hoop needed. Takes a bit to get used to commands but it’s very good once you get them sorted!

Used to be great

Now it’s almost useless. Bring back the gallery view, and let me convert files like you used to. Every time I try to edit I get an error message. Essentially nothing is simple, and there’s no way to figure out how to do the things that used to be intuitive. Why did you change something that worked so brilliantly?

Fixing to lose a customer!!!

I have been using the paid version for almost a year and I loved it!! It was easy to put designs together on my iPad. Especially names, monograms, etc. However I am assuming it has recently updated.. with that being said I can not figure out how to work it. Also when I upload a file, it completely changes the file once added. What a disappointment!!!

While StitchBuddy HD's core functionality wasn't changed, file management capabilities and some menus were updated with version 3.3. Actually, this release is introducing significat improvements, but I agree: It comes with some new look & feel for existing customers. You might want to watch the most recent video tutorial "File Management" at StitchBuddy's website, there I'm showing the changes and new capabilities. Or contact me directly with specific questions...

Stitch buddy

This really is a great little app. I can view any of my embroidery files and even do some editing. It would be great if it connected to my brother machine so I could transfer designs from my iPad. But still enjoy this app.
