### 4/5 — Update?

*2026-05-31, version 3.4*

When will the app be updated with new thread names. All the Nashville new thread colors have not been added.

### 4/5 — Missing Threads

*2026-03-01, version 3.4*

Pretty good inventory app for threads but missing some Rainbow Gallery threads like Fyre Werks and soft Sheen Fyre Werks and Au Ber A Soie Trebizond. Hope these are updated

### 4/5 — Linen manufactur

*2025-11-17, version 3.4*

Please take out requiring a linen manufacturer. I don’t know on 95% of them. I know the count and cut. Otherwise I love the app.

### 3/5 — Frustrating

*2025-10-12, version 3.4*

Please fix this problem.  It would change the rating to at least 4 stars.

The app needs an update that makes it so I can add a designer. It will not let me enter miscellaneous as a designer either, even though that is the recommended fix. If I can’t add a designer from your list of designers, I can’t even save my chart title entry. Very frustrating.

Also, when I enter the chart name and hit tab, it takes me to the notes section, not the designer name which is below the chart name field.

### 4/5 — Wonderful App

*2025-04-08, version 3.3*

Wonderful App, great price point, but infrequently updated and NO ABILITY TO PRINT AN INVENTORY LIST!  Hopefully developers will work out how to print out an inventory list!!!!

### 4/5 — Need an option to add designer or skip that field

*2025-02-23*

Love all the options for adding thread and photos and even uploading pics of a chart with info. The one issue I have is…. If the designer is not on the pattern I have, or if it’s a publisher, there is no way to enter either ‘unknown’ or add a new designer. 

The app forces you to choose a designer and if the designer isn’t in the default list, you can’t add the chart!  

Other than that, it works great and helps me keep up with not only floss but with fabric and patterns.

**Developer response:** Hi Emme52 - thanks for the feedback!  We're glad you like the app!  The app does allow you to choose the "Miscellaneous" designer if you can't find what you're looking for.  We also add new designers all the time based on recommendations from users like you.  You can recommend a designer by going into Settings and selecting Provide Feedback option.

### 5/5 — Great Inventory Program

*2024-07-01, version 3.3*

Best program on the market Easy to use and so many features. Since it’s usable on a phone, inventory and shopping list is always on me

### 4/5 — Updating for floss

*2024-02-07, version 3.3*

Only complaint is I wish I could add my floss and comment on the same screen

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-01-24, version 3.3*

This is a great way to keep track of your cross stitch inventory.

### 5/5 — Like it but….

*2023-12-13, version 3.3*

Like the app but I wish it had a better system for purchasing that linked it to a specific project.

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2023-07-28, version 3.2*

This app helps me easily keep track of my entire stitching inventory, charts, threads, fabrics and more!  I use it constantly.

### 5/5 — Paid and cannot access

*2023-07-01, version 3.2*

I paid for my subscription on 6/28/23 and I still cannot access the app on either my iPad or my android devise. Very frustrating!!

### 5/5 — Handy App

*2023-06-24, version 3.2*

Like this app quite a lot. Really handy having all my threads and linen listed in one place.

### 5/5 — Love!

*2023-06-09, version 3.2*

Awesome app!  Love being so organized!

### 5/5 — Cross Patch Gets Support

*2023-05-25, version 3.2*

Following problems accessing the linen function I wrote an over-hasty 3star review! As it turns out it was the fault of this numpty not being able to follow a simple instruction. Anyway the developers contacted me pronto and viola all sorted! So now I’m wreathed in smiles and back to five stars. I have had this App for a few years but this is the upgraded version with more bells and whistles.

### 5/5 — Get it for sure!

*2023-05-16, version 3.2*

Where has this been all my life!  If you are a collector type cross stitcher, keeping track of what you have in here is amazing ❤️

### 5/5 — Xstitch Plus

*2023-05-16, version 3.2*

I love this app to keep track of my floss, projects and fabrics.  Because it’s on my phone I can refer to my thread inventory while shopping to know which threads I need to purchase for my next project.  The app makes it easy to add and delete thread as purchased/used.  Love it!

### 1/5 — Can’t log in.

*2024-02-16, version 3.3*

I’ve tried numerous times to log in. I’m not able to change my password. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.

### 1/5 — Beware!

*2023-09-22, version 3.2*

I loved this app previously. Had tons of thread inputted into it, and it recently renewed for another year. Suddenly today, it wanted me to log in, and I had to reset my password, after which it informed me that my “free trial” had ended. I have proof it’s paid through August 2024.  I plan to dispute the $9.99 with my credit card, but now I have to re- inventory all my thread, find a new app, then re-input all that data! I would give it zero stars if I could.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!

*2022-05-17, version 2.1*

Makes me sign in every time, which is annoying enough on its own.   Completely unstable.  Every time I try to use the chart “by designer” option, it drops out of the app.  When I try to add a chart through search, it won’t save.   Fairly useless so far.

### 1/5 — No way to Cancel the App!!!

*2021-09-09, version 2.1*

I’ve enjoyed using the app for several years but I need to cut my expenses for retirement and I cannot find where to turn of auto renew? I’m more than happy to write a great review for the app itself- as long as the developers don’t make it impossible to ever cancel the payment.

### 1/5 — Xstitch plus

*2021-08-07, version 2.1*

After paying for the second year, I discovered that all the information was deleted. After contacting Apple and Xstitch plus and trying all their suggestions…nothing made the app open up with all the information. Finally, I had to ask for a refund so I could start all over again. I am not happy.

### 1/5 — Ability to add

*2021-02-04, version 2.1*

App is okay for thread and fabric inventory, but for charts, well it’s very frustrating. Not all designers are listed and you cannot add a chart without choosing a designer, no ability to add missing designer either. Very frustrating and time consuming. Also the lists are long. I would like to add my own so my list would be short and accurate without me having to just select someone to add it to inventory. Currently not using this app.

### 1/5 — Sneaky - it’s only a free trial, then $$$

*2021-02-02, version 2.0*

I might have decided to keep it, but the scummy marketing practice of listing it as free, but burying the fact that’s it only a “free trial” deep in the description, made my mind up for me. I can keep my own inventory list, tyvm. Also $10 _per year_ for a LIST app? LOL Good luck with that.

EDIT 2/2/2021 - my first review was in Feb 2020. The developers waited an •entire year• to respond and then tried to address my issue after at least a couple of updates have been made. Doesn’t instill confidence, sorry.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2020-11-18, version 2.0*

I have many charts by Priscilla Blain of The Real Housewives of Cross Stitch. She isn’t listed as a designer and there is no option to add designers. My inventory cannot be complete or accurate. I can not even add a chart and skip the designer listing. I hope this will change soon, if not I will never recommend your product.

### 2/5 — Not contact info for help

*2026-03-07, version 3.4*

I lost all my inventory and there is no way to get assistance

### 2/5 — Could Be Better

*2022-01-25, version 2.1*

I was trying to send feedback within the app but it didn’t work. Anyway, I’m rating 2 stars for now because I believe this needs severe improvements. I like that I can include my floss ( but I hate how I have to save then go back into floss number for quantity instead of including quantity at the same time before I save). Not only does this

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-07-24, version 3.4*

This app is wonderful. I use it all the time and it’s saved me a ton of money, by preventing me from buying duplicates all the time. I love being able to save photos of my patterns.

### 5/5 — Excellent Inventory On the Go

*2026-03-21, version 3.4*

Love this app as I have all my fibers, linens and patterns at my fingertips. Easy to use. Includes pictures as well. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Exceptional app

*2026-03-10, version 3.4*

I love this app. Very easy to use, I am to keep track of my patterns along with Start and Finish dates.

### 5/5 — Love this

*2026-01-05, version 3.4*

I love this app to keep track of my patterns and current projects. Can you update the Android version? I have friends that want this app too and it doesn’t work with their version of android.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2025-11-15, version 3.4*

I have been using this app for several years & it is THE BEST!! It’s so easy to enter information & to find it when needed. It has saved me lots of $$$ avoiding buying duplicate patterns. Great user friendly interface especially for us non techies!

### 5/5 — App review

*2025-09-20, version 3.4*

Love this app!  Wonderful system to get your cross stitch supplies organized. Yo can easily look up what threads you have and the shopping cart can create a list of what you need. The calculator is a great help when buying fabric.  Wish there was feature in linens that allowed for new fabric makers.

### 5/5 — The BEST Cross Stitch Stash App

*2025-08-14, version 3.4*

I think this app is the absolute best at keeping your cross stitch supplies inventoried and managed. It lets me have a picture of the chart and all the information I want to include, plus a place for fabrics, threads, trims, paints, beads, and more. I love it! Well worth the $25/year we pay!! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Need an option to add designer or skip that field: edited to add response to your response!

*2025-07-03, version 3.4*

7/3/25 
Thank you for responding! 
I never even thought to look for a ‘miscellaneous’ entry option. I feel really silly now. 
Truthfully, I am a big fan of this app! 

Original question believe:Love all the options for adding thread and photos and even uploading pics of a chart with info. The one issue I have is…. If the designer is not on the pattern I have, or if it’s a publisher, there is no way to enter either ‘unknown’ or add a new designer. 

The app forces you to choose a designer and if the designer isn’t in the default list, you can’t add the chart!  

Other than that, it works great and helps me keep up with not only floss but with fabric and patterns.

### 5/5 — Great Application

*2024-11-12, version 3.3*

I have been them for over 10 years.  The service is great!!!.  If a new thread color is not yet on the list just email and within a very short time they add it.  Can’t ask for better, quick service.  Great prduct!!

### 5/5 — So useful🪡🩵

*2024-09-09, version 3.3*

Using several years now, still love it.  Tools and thread inventory are wonderful!
