Best on the Market! 🌈
The best on the market at the moment! Does everything I need. I would LOVE more features & a few changes.
Other apps & programs fell short by long shots. This one is set up to make amazing original patterns! I make repeat patterns & this one is the best!
Thanks for this! I would love it if there were a few changes to make it easier & faster to create on! I would pay more for this too!
Could be Perfect if it was more consistent.
This is still the only app I use for designing my knitting charts. Unfortunately, turning my charts into PDFs is very hit and miss, sizing-wise. Even when I select “fits to one page”, my chart often is randomly split into two pages. It becomes trial and error, and is a bit time consuming. Also recently, for some reason, if I leave the app open for a while, then go back to it, the chart seems to slip and freeze within the frame, and the various tools disappear.
These are observations and constructive criticisms, not rants! It is still my favourite app and I still use it in spite of these glitches, but it could be totally amazing!
Perfect
I use this for Cross Stitch & it is perfect. Allows all the functionality I need- full DMC pallet, backstitching etc. the pdf patterns can be made to fit to one A4 page so dead easy to get print outs from it too
Wonderful app
Incredibly powerful app. I use it to design colour work knitting patterns.
Could be better…
Choosing the colour is one annoying job, as the layout doesn’t makes sense. It goes sideways and up and down at the same time in a small window. Also, a function of storing the colours you already own would be a great advantage…
Great!
Love it. Easy to use
Wonderful
I’m still learning how to use it, but so far it is brilliant, I’m very happy with this app. Will be able to make all kinds of projects. It’s great !
Bit of a learning curve
(used for cross stitch only) This is a great app once you get the hang of it, but be warned there are no instructions in the app itself. The developer website has a range of tutorials and notes which are very useful to have until you remember how each button works. Sometimes it can also be a bit fiddly (especially when placing specialty stitches and back stitch) but works well with Apple Pencil.
Easy to use
Great that it’s on the iPad so mobile - easy to use and doing what I want
Excellent app
This is a really great app to make cross stitch patterns. It took some time and playing about to work out the backstitch bit, but it was worth it.
I’d love it if it was possible to digitally cross off the parts of the pattern I’ve completed IRL.
