Perfect for Floss Tracking

I just inventoried my DMC floss collection and I’m obsessed with this app! It is super easy to use, and has a great tutorial to help get you started.
I’m currently using the free version, and it’s been so helpful to visually see what floss I have, what I still need to add to the collection, and true color charting with pictures of the actual floss. The paid features look incredible for those with multiple projects on their hands - especially those who embroider as a part time or full time job.
I had zero problems with any glitches as I moved around in the app which is a huge plus! I can’t wait to explore the app more!

Thank you for the wonderful review - We’re so happy to hear how much you’re loving Threadster and all our inventory features! We made the free version with stitchers like you in mind, and I’m so thrilled to hear how well it’s working for you.. I’m an embroidery artist myself, so I know how important seeing a real photo of the thread can be. If you ever need anything or have questions, just let us know. ..Happy stitching!!

Free on App Store but need a subscription

I thought this was a free software with an option to upgrade to a premium account but you have to subscribe to use anything in this app. I understand the developer’s desire to charge for their program so no shade to that BUT you need to make that more clear in the description. Just poor management unfortunately. The price isn’t too expensive ($2.99/month) but I didn’t like the interface enough to spend any money on it

EDIT (1/29/2026): Hello again! I wanted to reach back out to inform you that we just launched an update that now offers a free version of the app, as well as project management & palette creation! You can find a full list of features & what each version offers in the store description or the Home page of the app. We also completely redid the user interface, so it should be a much better user experience. I don’t believe there’s a way for me to reset your free trial, but if you reach out to me at: threadster@zeebam.com Or through our Support page, I would be happy to give you a promo code so you can try the new update to see if it meets your needs. Thank you! ———————————— EDIT: I wanted to reach back out to let you know that we have updated our description in the App Store based off your recommendation, and you should now see a statement near the top of the App Store description clarifying that Threadster is a subscription based app and requires a subscription to use in app features.

Where has this been all my life??

This app is a must have for embroiderers. So long messy notes app. Hello organization.

Response from developer

Yes, I love to hear this!! I personally used to keep my thread inventory organized in a notes app too, so I know how frustrating that can be to manage. I’m so happy to hear that Threadster has improved your embroidery organization.. thank you for the wonderful review! 💖

Convenient time saver

This app is wonderful! I’ve accumulated A LOT of floss and my pervious system of remembering what colors I had and didn’t have took too long. After easily and quickly adding my inventory it’s been so easy to find colors I need or didn’t even think I had, when I’m starting a project. The devs are also wonderful and it’s excited to see where this app will go in the future.

Easy Tracking!

I’ve been able to replace several tools I use with this app. The mass update feature makes adding initial inventory so easy. The app also includes a similar colors feature and has the DMC inventory with color cards extremely similar to the actual floss colors. I have found myself using the app to help select color palettes as well. I also plan to add my non-DMC inventory via the custom feature and can’t wait to try it out

Response from developer

That’s amazing that you’ve been able to replace several tools with our app! We have plans to incorporate a color palette library at some point too, which I think you’ll love. We you to be able to create and save color palettes to use with future projects, so it should be super handy! If you ever want to request a feature, just reach out ^-^

I’m so in love with this app!

I absolutely love love looove this app. There’s so many features that I just love at launch that all the other thread trackers lack. Searching for specific threads is a breeze especially with the clear button. Being able to edit multiple threads at once is an absolute marvel. The ability to see photos of the threads to verify color matching is insane. Being able to mark certain colors as being used in a project. BEING ABLE TO ADD YOUR OWN CUSTOM THREADS!!! This one takes the cake!

I can’t get over how amazing it is to be able to add and edit my entire inventory in an instant and adding custom hand dyed threads I’ve casually been collecting. Especially being able to add a photo reference as some of the ones I have shift into very different colors. This will make it easier to pick out colors without needing to take out all my thread boxes.

Chefs kiss

Chefs kiss to the people who made this app. It is AMAZING. It’s so easy to keep track of all my threads now!!!! Ive found Threadster is so so much easier than other thread tracker apps!

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback- We’re thrilled to hear how much the app is helping you! If you ever need support or have a new feature request, please don’t hesitate to reach out. ^-^

Organization at its finest~

I’ve absolutely been loving this app so far! Considering there are over 500+ DMC floss and countless other brands and specialty threads, it’s great being able to track everything I own! There’s been countless times I’ve lost track of my inventory during projects and accidentally bought more or less than I needed to, so I know this app will save me time and energy. It’s also great being able to see similar thread colors when you’re tracking, and having the pictures of the threads is also convenient to have. The Add Custom Thread option is also SO useful, especially when you can add the exact pictures of the thread color into the app itself.

Knowing that the creators of this app are also fellow artists, I know they’ll have the best interest for their app! They know what would be missing since they experience our exact issues, so I’m looking forward to the updates to come!
