Ok

It does keep track of your flaws inventory however there are several flaws. One when adding to your shopping cart it also update your inventory. If you remove it from your shopping cart, it removes it from your inventory. Second flaw is the set up of tracking projects, the whole design and the scroll box is off.

Wonderful Essential App

Wonderful tracking floss system that shows the actual colors. Tracker has numbers and names of Anchor / Sampler Gentle Arts / Weeks Dye Works / DMC Reg and Special. This App has lasted thru every Apple update and I hope it continues!!

Response from developer

Thank you so much

Good app

I wish the inventory included the option to specify if the thread was regular DMC, Perle Cotton 5, 8, or 12. While there’s been a few additions over the years, it’s certainly not up-to-date. Overall, an ok app for keeping track of some of your DMC threads by needs to be updated to be really useful.

Perfect for inventory and shopping list!

I absolutely LOVE this app. It keeps me so organized and prevents accidental duplicate floss purchases. I also adore the shopping list feature. I can only hope the developer will keep updating the inventory list as DMC releases additional colors.

Great organization

Great App for organization, as long as YOU use it and YOU keep it updated. My only suggestions would be a full size view of the floss list when your in a project, instead of that little window. Also, showing the quantity of skeins in your stash, instead of just in inventory.
