4/5Refund please
I was looking for an app where I could create a pattern. This seems like a cool app for what it does but just not what I want. And I don’t have a problem with that. My issue is that apple says I can’t get a refund?! Please help

5/5I’m a huge huge fan
I pretty much only stitch on projects if I can get my hands on a saga file. It makes stitching so enjoyable and really reduces the number of mistakes I make and have to rip out. I can zoom in on just the section I’m working on or highlight just a single color and saves my eyes so much strain. It also helps me with all my planning - cutting my fabric to size based on the count and determining how much of each color I need and if I need to buy about how long it will take me based on the number of stitches etc. I love the tracking and all the data it has of my project. It has so many amazing features and so many ways to customize the view for what works for your brain and whatever way you stitch (parking, cross country, diagonal). I’ve had the app for about 4 years and every update has new amazing features that I love. I once had an issue with an update because I was on an older operating software and they responded immediately, I sent a video of what was happening and they updated something on their end and it was fixed in a release by the morning. Amazing. I’m frankly too dependent on this app. I have such a hard time using a paper pattern now 😆 I highly recommend if you have access to the files (depends on designer) or can make them yourself using pattern maker.

5/5Awesome support
This is a fantastic app for iOS users that create/stitch full coverage. It supports cross-country (highlighting symbols), diagonals (draws the 10-stitch lines) and zooms in super close! The only drawback is that it does not (yet, hopefully) support PDF charts. Soon, I hope! Support is also amazingly responsive and solved my load issue quickly.

5/5The best one
Guys, thank you for this app, life is not life without it! Convenience, simplicity and functionality are a dream. Thank you for your support and improvement, it is always a gift from you!

1/5So disappointed! Heartbroken.
This app requires your PDF to their SAGA format. I can only find services, not apps, to do this and they charge $10 to $30 per pattern file. AI can’t convert it either. So I clicked support when it takes me to a web page in maybe Russian??? So no support, for an app that cost $15, that doesn’t work with a PDF, and in a language I do not read or speak. Ugh.

4.9.22
• Search by color number in the pattern key list (by layers). • On the texture view of the pattern, realistic display of embroidery — the "eye with eyelashes" icon, color isolation unites all types of stitches of the pattern without taking into account the threads numbers, without dividing by the marking tool (solid and all related blends). • Gesture of touching with 4 fingers for instant switching between the texture and technical view of the pattern. If necessary, the gesture is disabled in the "eye" icon settings window. • Optimization of the "Lasso" tool: An alternative option to create a 10*10 square by long-touching the pattern grid has been added to the creation of an area of an arbitrary shape (draw a circle with your finger on the pattern). The areas are moved separately by dragging with three fingers. If two areas "Rectangular-diagonal-zig-zag" and the "Lasso" are used at the same time, then when the first one is locked, the "Lasso" area can be moved separately by dragging with three fingers. • New buttons for scrolling through the color list added to the toolbar (their display can be turned on/off in the window for selecting the sorting type of the pattern key). • Information on the number of shades of bead, floss (solid, blend) has been added to the statistics: total number and inside the restricting area. • Interface optimization: The settings for the minimized toolbar are called by long pressing the "Gear ±" icon. • Bug-fixes Dear users, we are very grateful for your kind feedback and constructive suggestions on the functionality of the application.
