Love it
The problem is I don’t know what I have at home. I don’t think anyone does, really.
So a whole bunch of floss was stacking up at my place and I decided enough was enough. $5 for an app that doesn’t have a subscription strategy or tracks everything I do inside and outside the app? I’d say it’s worth it.
I organized my skeins and then started going through the app adding however many I had (no surprise DMC 310 is the winner and B5200 takes the second place but third goes to DMC 35 which was a bit of a shock since it comes up so rarely in the patterns I do) and building my inventory (or collection as it’s called in the app).
All told, I currently have 177 colors and 287 skeins.
Adding more is easy, as is subtracting when you finish a bobbin. I think the hardest part is going to be remembering to keep it updated as I stitch so for that reason it stays on the front page of my phone.
Anyway, it’s a clean app that’s easy to use and satisfies a need I had. I like that it’s a one-and-done purchase and it doesn’t track me. For $5 this feels like an absolute no-brainer to me.

Basic version unusable
Response from developer
Hey! Sorry to hear about this. I made the basic version indeed a bit limited to try it out, but I’ve tried to make the Pro version (in my opinion) affordable enough and just a one time purchase instead of a subscription. An alternative would be to include ads in the app, but that would inevitably mean selling user data and I really don’t want that. Since making apps is my full time job as an independent developer, I also need to make money to maintain and improve the app. I use an external program for my paywall, where I could select this image which I found very fitting. That is the only place where an image as such is used, as no other graphics are used (only the colors for the threads that I’ve manually put it). Once again, I’m very sorry to hear this. A one star review is very damaging for the discoverability of the app, so if there is anything I can do to help you change your opinion about the app, please let me know! I’m very happy to help.
