### 2/5 — Can’t select designer

*2024-10-30, version 3.0*

I’ve used this App for years and loved it, but now I can’t add a pattern to my inventory because the Select Designer page won’t load.

### 2/5 — Terrible. Missing floss, hard to use.

*2023-08-02, version 3.0*

This app is fine on the surface but after cataloging over 100 skeins I realized it was missing some of the DMC line. Out of 150 skeins 5 were missing. On top of that, if I searched for an exact number like “996” it would only briefly display it in the list to select. I had to type in “99” and then scroll down to “996”. Additionally if you already have a skein entered it will just create a duplicate entry instead of increasing the quantity of the single color. I’m extremely disappointed in the quality of this app.

### 4/5 — Another feature

*2023-06-07, version 3.0*

Happily, I’ve used this app for years. One feature I would love to see added, the ability to add progress photos between “Started” and “Finished”.

### 4/5 — Android user

*2023-02-04, version 3.0*

Love this app, except I don’t understand why Android users have to pay for photos, and Apple users don’t have to.

### 4/5 — Not happy

*2023-01-12, version 3.0*

All the charts and things I input are missing?,!?

### 2/5 — App

*2022-12-31, version 3.0*

I can’t get my info to load. Is the app down. I hate to loose alll my information.

### 1/5 — Just use excel instead

*2022-09-15, version 2.8*

I did a lot of research to see what a good cross stitch iOS app was, and this one was mentioned multiple places. Trusting that and the numerous 5 star reviews, I paid to download this app. Its nothing like I expected, and honestly unusable to me. Possibly there was a recent update that caused a lot of bugs? But it seems more like it’s not been updated in a good long while - it’s on me if I missed that.  Moving between screens is slow, and sometimes almost impossible as the bottom navigation buttons are the same color as the main screen. Adding thread is time consuming, if there’s a way to bulk upload, it’s well hidden. After adding something to my journal, I discovered that the background isn’t solid or consistent at all - anywhere you enter info is subject to your light/dark mode settings. Just the background though, the text color doesn’t change at all making it impossible to read anything you enter. Thankfully it was only $3, because it’s worth less to me than the free thread tracker excel file I got offline.

### 1/5 — X-Stitch

*2022-08-09, version 2.8*

When I first started using I thought it was great. But then having trouble uploading to it. So now having to rethink if this is worth the trouble.

### 1/5 — Difficulties

*2022-07-27, version 2.8*

App worked great at the beginning but without any notice, it has now frozen. Can’t make any corrections or additions. I had recommended it to friends but no more.

### 1/5 — No data available

*2022-05-07, version 2.6*

I loved this app until today when all of my data went missing. It doesn’t show any of my threads or journal entries and only linen from one supplier. If I didn’t have this problem, I would have given it 5 stars.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-02-25, version 3.0*

I loaded a lot of my patterns in here to the inventory. Now I’m trying to add more and no drop down menu of designers is there. It’s like the whole thing quit working. Was it just a waste of my time???

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work.

*2026-02-16, version 3.0*

Designer list doesn’t show up.

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2025-04-18, version 3.0*

I used to love this app, it was easy to log things that you have to avoid purchasing something twice.  Now the app opens but it just constantly spins to load your inventory but shows you nothing.  Back to the drawing board to find something that works.

### 1/5 — Program not responding

*2024-01-17, version 3.0*

This program is not working for me .. I am unable to add or view inventory. Please fix this. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2023-08-04, version 3.0*

Home page shows the total of my inventory but I can’t view anything. I hope I didn’t lose everything I save in the app.

### 1/5 — There’s a glitch in the app

*2023-05-04, version 3.0*

All of a sudden. I’m having problems being able to add things to this app . I keep getting “save failed invalid session token “ I hope this gets corrected soon. Please correct this problem. I love this app and I want to be able to continue using it. Now I can’t get anything that I already added to come up.  I updated the app then everything went down

### 1/5 — Inventory still inaccessible

*2023-03-17, version 3.0*

It’s been months since I’ve been able to see my thread inventory and I’m just fed up with the lack of updates to fix it. The home page says I have 594 threads inventoried but won’t let me see the list. It’s beyond frustrating that I’ll have to record my stash all over again with a different app that actually works

### 1/5 — Problème

*2023-02-03, version 3.0*

Impossible de retrouver mes données après une mise à jour

### 1/5 — App not working

*2022-12-28, version 3.0*

Having trouble lately inputting information

### 1/5 — Where’s my stuff?

*2022-11-20, version 3.0*

Nothing I have entered is here. Everything is gone: inventory and journal.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-01-29, version 3.0*

Helps me keep track of my threads and charts love it !

### 5/5 — Wonderful App

*2025-01-13, version 3.0*

I have used this App for several years & it is probably the most useful App on my phone. It’s easy to use & easy to find entries. It has saved me $$ from duplicating prior purchases.

### 5/5 — update

*2024-07-30, version 3.0*

Love x-stitch! new problem: tried to save a thread and this message came up

up : Save Failed.  
Invalid session token

What happened)

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2024-06-28, version 3.0*

This is the perfect app for all my cross stitch inventory. I use it mainly for threads but have just started to add in my fabrics. Somehow my stash seems so much neater now it's inventoried and I've found loads I'd forgotten I have . Result

### 5/5 — Journal options

*2024-01-01, version 3.0*

I do wish there was an option to categorize as chart or chart only. That is what most of my charts are but I’m having to categorize them as kitted and make a note if they are actually kitted. Thanks

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2023-02-03*

This app is perfect for keeping an inventory of all my cross stitch supplies and easy to update

### 5/5 — Best tool for a cross stitcher

*2022-10-05, version 2.8*

I love having my stash at my fingertips. Charts and floss are most definitely a must!

### 5/5 — Great xstitch tool keeps me organized!

*2022-08-07, version 2.8*

Simple tracking system for the over 300 charts/kits I have. It prevents me from buying the same thing twice! Great value for stitchers.

### 5/5 — Disappointed

*2022-07-28, version 2.8*

I have loved the ap previously All my threads and kits have disappeared on my iPhone but seems to be ok on iPad.
  I still have my linens on iPhone, I have updated app.

### 5/5 — Inconsistent loading

*2022-06-07, version 2.6*

There are times when nothing will load- after adding hundreds of threads, I cannot access the list.  It only says My Inventory !
