StitchSketch App Comentários

O melhor pra fazer desenho por pixel

Muito completo o aplicativo, não só pra quem faz ponto-cruz, mas pra quem quer fazer desenhos pixel a pixel. Ele tem muitas opções, inclusive de importar uma imagem e "pixelizar" essa imagem.

IOS UPDATE 18.1

Locks up

So useful

I was using excel but this is so much better

Indispensable

Love this app for my tatreez work and I even use it for making fun pixel posters. It works great with my iPad pencil. Docking a star because it does not automatically save your work and I have lost many valuable design hours that way. Makes me feel like I am in high school again and have to constantly remind myself to save my work.

Cross stitch pattern maker

Love the app, but please update the current DMC floss charts. It’s currently using some DMC floss that has been discontinued. Thanks

F This

I used to love this app, now it’s unusable.

Glitches Galore

So many issues for an app that is intuitive and has a fast learning curve. Crashes and failing to do a function. Forget text or more than a few colors.

No up-to-date user manual

I am having hard time figuring some stuff and the link for user manual takes me to release notes… have a user manual where you put everything together so people wouldn’t have to go through all release notes. Also I think there needs to be an option to hide/unhide symbols. I can’t tell how my design actually looks like because of all the symbols

Big learning curve, no auto save?

There is a big learning curve to this app. I consider myself good at picking up technology quickly, but this app has been difficult to get used to. I’ve also run into some glitches where the app stops working and I’ve had to close out, the issue with that is I loose all my work since there doesn’t seem to be auto save...seems like auto save would be a default (My app and device are up to date)

More symbols please

I have to improvise on symbols a lot. I use app to take my patterns from paper to pattern keeper. Works well. Giving it 4 stars because of lack of symbols. At times color is hard to add with symbol. Would also like mill hill bead option. Thank you.

Better tutorials

The app is hard to use, it takes a lot of hours trying to figure it out. I download it weeks ago, still haven’t been able to use it the right way.

Great for Crochet

I use this app to import pictures that I want to Crochet. I’ve done Movie Posters and other Collector Themed Items.

Confusion

This is super difficult to use

Trash

This thing is worthless, they need to hire some UX researchers badly. The “users manual” online is a joke, it only goes over updates, not actually how to use anything, add colors, etc.

Go To App

I also do bead patterns and I believe this is the ONLY app that includes Delica beads. For that purpose, this gets 5 stars. And oh, I also do cross-stitch so it’s a win-win!

Great for beading designs

I use this app on my iPad for designing seed bead bracelets. The pdf file of my design is so helpful. I no longer need to use graph paper and colored pencils

Wish it had better grid lines

Love this app! Its close to perfect except those pesky grid lines. Please add an option to thicken lines every 10 squares and export with darker lines every 10 squares. We really need this when counting during stitching. Ive tried a bunch of cross stitch apps and so far this one has the most features.

Color numbers

Some of my delica colors / numbers are not listed. Also I went to read the user Manual and I am not sure of which one to use. For the most part I like it but I guess I need practice. It would also be nice if we could design peyote stitch on this tool, it would be so helpful. I would even pay a small upgrade fee for it. So I guess I should bump up the stars to 4 not 3.

Needs Update

Pretty good for what it does, but it’s kind of limited, and it hasn’t been updated in years. I wish it would get some developer attention; it’s useful.

Love this application

I love using this app for my cross stitch charts. I wanted something I could use on my iPad that was more of a drawing feel because it’s far easier to write backstitching like that than on a computer. My only complaint is that I can’t seem to get the color palette on my pdf’s anymore, which is a bummer. It’s not the end of the world but it is a bit annoying and I can’t find any links to reach out to the developer about this issue. Other than that, though, I love this app so much!

Solid app!

This is a pretty great app for pattern designing! A bit glitchy on occasion but nothing that can’t be worked around. Honestly this is the best pattern app for the iPad that I’ve found A few recommendations: larger than 250x250 for patterns (pro iPads should be able to handle it fine) Partial stitches that aren’t weird lines, it makes it difficult to follow the pattern when half/quarter stitches are designated by backstitch colors rather than normal color + icon

Great, but a couple suggestions

I’m loving this app so far for my cross stitch projects, but I have a couple suggestions. I would like to be able to make the grid lines darker, especially the ones where it marks the every ten squares. They are very hard to tell apart from the rest of the lines, especially if I’m using a dark color. Another thing I would like made easier is adding colors. Right now, I have to click at the bottom, search for the color I want, apply it, then do it all over again. I’d like to be able to just create a list of colors I’m going to be using. Also, it would be great if we could sort the colors in numerical order. Other than that, I’m greatly enjoying the app!

No other app like it!

I downloaded several other cross stitch pattern apps and this is by far the best one, and I’m not just saying that because it’s free. Thank you!

Good for designing, not so much for details

I do my basic designs on SS, then add details as I stitch. Using the text feature rarely works out. I wish there was a way to write notes on the design. Copy/paste feature works well!

So far, very glitchy

I downloaded the app recently and already I’m having trouble with some lag time between clicking and having the menu show up. I’m using it for bead design. It’s nice that it has the Delica color options, but the color chart is not showing up for me, it’s just a blank screen. So far, I’m disappointed.

Clunky

As compared to my desktop pc software that I've used for over 20 years. But, so far, StitchSketch is the most versatile cross stitch app to use on an iPad.

Disappointing but……….

I WILL UPDATE MY REVIEW WHEN FIXED. so I just bought this app today 8/26/21. I read all of the reviews and information I could find it sounded like it was the maker for me. It does really good in design your own grids. BUT BUT BUT…… Every time I try to get a photo from my camera roll it completely closes the whole app. And as this is one of the features that made me chose this app. I am very disappointed ☹️ to see that I paid 7.99 for something I can’t use the way I wanted. Please fix so I can update my review

Great App

Easy to learn, great for creating and editing cross stitch patterns from photos. As a beginner it was very easy for me to figure out.

Not easy to add colors to palette

I’ll say right off the bat that this is NOT an intuitive app to use if you’re using it for cross-stitch. The user manual is basic at best. My biggest complaint is that it is unnecessarily and frustratingly difficult to add colors to the palette that you’re using. When you want to use a new color, the app doesn’t allow a smooth transition. In fact, what does happen is the most recent stitches change to the new color. Erasing can also be difficult. It only allows a few “undos” of your most recent marks. If you want to erase stitches that were done much earlier, you’re out of luck. At least that’s how I’m finding using this app. The developer needs to work on the above issues for this app to be fully worthwhile.

Great app, request for one feature

This app is terrific. Very intuitive and simple to use , with great features. Well worth the money, especially compared to other apps on market. *Feature request: The only thing I find that I would prefer is: putting in inch measurements of what size I want my pattern to be and having the system calculate how many stitches high or wide for me. The app, at the moment will tell you what size your finished piece will be based on stitches and count/gauge. It would be more useful to me personally if I could tell the app “ I want my design to be 8x9” and have it calculate the number of stitches up and across. Other than that, this app is wonderful. I’m also someone who prefers using pen and paper or computer mouse for quite a number of things but have been able to use this with ease on my iPad.

Half stitches need a better option

Overall I enjoy better than hand charting. I’d love the half stitches to be filled as opposed to lines. It’s hard to keep track if there’s a ton of half stitches. An option for a filled half stitch would be great.

Please fix!

Cross stitch has really grown and the ability to design on an iPad would be so helpful! I have my colors all selected and when I try to switch colors, it's not letting me select with righter my finger or Apple Pencil.

Great, but the UI could use some love

This is my go-to app for creating new cross stitch patterns and it’s wonderful. I’ve used it for years and it does exactly what I need it to do—I love the tracing paper feature and exporting patterns to PDF is a breeze. My only hang up is the UI. It’s not exactly intuitive and it could use a facelift. We’re talking stuck in 2013/still looks like it belongs on iOS 6 vibes. I’d love to see a refresh but the lack of attention to updates for two years makes me worried that the software will be obsolete before long.

I love this app but I wish it was better

First of all I use this app everyday. When it comes to designing a name tag or a birthday pattern I use this app first. However. I think there would be some features that would make it so much better. For example. Make it easier to use the line tools. Once the line is down. It is hard to erase it. I think either by adding a line eraser or even making erase Ong a line more accurate would make adding outlines so much easier. With that said. I think another addition that would be great is layers. Like other painting apps. You add layers to edit the picture without ruining a drawn on layer. By adding layers it will make tweaking and experiment with designs much easier.

Needs a detailed manual or tutorials

I love this app, but am frustrated by how difficult it is to figure out. There were a few independent tutorials on YouTube that were helpful, but there is nowhere that details all the options and how to use them. I know that there are things I should be able to do,but don’t know how to do them. There are things that I can see to select, but have no idea what they are or what they do. The only other thing I’d like to able to do is change thread color—maybe it does this—replace one thread color for another—but if it does, I couldn’t figure it out. What I have figured out how to do is great and I love the PDF feature...makes it so easy to get my working patterns. And being able to do it anywhere, any time on my iPad is terrific!

Colors won’t select...

The program itself is pretty easy to use. However, once I made a pattern, deleted a few colors I decided not to use, and went back to the main screen, it will not allow me to select any colors than the first four. I have tried saving, tapping all over the color icons...nothing. For a program that’s $8, I would expect to not have little bugs like this. If this gets fixed, I’ll give it 5 stars for sure!

Not user friendly

This app is not user friendly. I am good with technology, use complicated photo editing software daily. This app is bland, it is hard to find tutorials and I wish I didn’t buy it. I tried to use it for about two hours and I have already deleted it from my phone. Props for having DMC numbers but that is my only prop for this app.

Awesome

I really like it so far. I can’t backstitch on it though

Works with Apple Pencil

This program does exactly what I was looking for AND works with my Apple Pencil. Not everything works with it (like color selection) but I can use it to draw my pattern and that’s all I wanted. A little glitchy at times and doesn’t auto save so be sure to save regularly because it does crash occasionally. Worth the price even with it’s problems. Much better than having a subscription like other programs and apps.

I love it. But it needs MAJOR UPDATES!

A little ridiculous to not be a free app when it need so many improvements. Need to be able to have updated dmc colors, need to be able to fill in a half stitch etc

Pretty good

Works pretty well. A couple features I’d love to see: ability to change it to a 10 square grid instead of 5. Being able to organize gallery into folders. I have over 200 files and I haven’t even been using it a year. It will be a mess to sort through in another year.

Great

This is best app I've found to convert photo to pattern

Free the colors

Seriously, I need to be able to use more than 4 colors in one chart. What is the point of cutting us off?

I love it!!

This app is easy to use and makes creating a cross stitch pattern from your own pixies super simple!! The one thing I'd like to see is the option to merge colors. I create my patterns with beginners in mind and like to use all full stitches and minimal colors. When there are two of a very similar color, I have to go into the pattern and manually change all of one of the colors. A bit time consuming, but I still love that I have the option to change, add, or delete stitches with the colors that generate. There is one more thing....maybe far fetched...but it's love to be able to see what my pattern would look like as a finished piece. 😊 Otherwise, this app is great!! ☺️

Nothing else like it, very nearly a 5 star

This app does everything I wanted and more. The user interface is not intuitive, and the documentation is not well organized or thorough, but if you stick with it, you and figure it out and you’ll be glad you did. I’m able to enter exact stitch gauge (though the interface uses weird terminology) and design perfect embroidery, intarsia or fair isle patterns for my knitting.

Crafting game changer

I was hesitant about spending $8 on an app, but this thing is amazing. It really makes my cross stitch patterns look better and easier to read then pen and paper. I love the idea of being able to trace over images instead of just converting because I have been wanting to create a cross stitch of my dog’s face but not all the background in the photo and I should be able to make that work with this app. I used this to also create a visual for a basic quilt pattern. Completely worth the money.

HELP

I really REALLY need someone to help me with this app. I want to use it so badly, but I am completely unable to figure out how to make my stitch patterns into a 5 square grid, rather than 10 squares. PLEASE I have read over basically all the material on the website and it just WONT WORK. I need my chart to be sized down to 5 square boxes, it SHOULD be easy, i have no idea why it has taken months to get this worked out. This is like my third time leaving a review PLEASE do not re direct me to the website for information. I JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT GO FROM 10 SQUARE BOXES TO 5 SQUARE BOXES. My friend who also bought this app says that hers automatically came on a 5 square grid. We can enter in the exact same data when starting a new cross stitch pattern, hers comes out 5 square grid, mine comes out as 10.

Fair

I find this difficult to use the way I would like. The explanations are not easy to follow. It is hard to get the right size/count, other than what the app. thinks you should use. I do wish it were easier to follow.

Ok, but could use some enhancements

This app is pretty decent, does what it’s made to do. Would love to see fuller Apple Pencil support, updated UI, and some usability enhancements. It’s not incredibly intuitive. But it does the job, all in all it’s perfectly serviceable for my needs.

I love this app!

This app is great for designing cross stitches. I use it all the time, and it’s really helpful! The pdf generation tool is amazing. Thanks for a great app! :)
