Reviews
No zoom, only for small patterns

Wish I had read the reviews! No zoom. Cannot even do a simple figure pattern with sizing that would actually be used on a project.
Spacing

Why can’t I type my entire needed pattern text and have it spaced correctly? I have to eyeball my spacing because you can only add one or two words in each box you create. Too hard!
Fun, but needs some work

I’m enjoying this app so far, but immediately ran into problems with the lack of options to resize. It would help also if there were a “fill” option so that, for instance, the background color could easily be changed.
Nice for play, not for pattern making

This is a nice little app to play with. With a few extra features, it would be a nice app for pattern making. Suggested improvements: change fabric size/type, erase single/multiple stitches to correct mistakes or make changes, instead of undo, more fonts that are adjustable in size, cut/copy/move elements to allow repositioning. Right now, it is a toy for the kids.
Good but has great potential

Just used this app. Very difficult to design a pattern using your finger. Would a stylist work on an I pad? My fat fingers had a hard time with a specific design. Spent a lot of time undoing stitch placement. I would like to have been able to enlarge the fabric size, especially for counting the rows. Maybe the app has the ability to do this and I haven’t figured it out. I look forward to using it more and discovering its capabilities Thanks
Can not zoom

I’m using my iPad to create the pattern. It doesn’t let me zoom in a bigger area since my finger is bigger than the design. Hard to use
A Pleasant Challenge

I have only good things to say about this application. It doesn't require wi-fi, never plagues me with ads, and is very logically designed. Even if you never intend to stitch any of your designs, you have the mental and tactile challenge of drawing something, or charting letters on a grid. My only wish would be for more colors. Thank you for this delightful diversion!
Need to make it bigger

It’s very limiting. You can only do simple designs. The canvas should be at least 14ct. An option of 16ct or even 18ct would be good too..
sneaky app, tricks user into spending money

very sneaky app. tricked user into spending money. the in-game "purchase" button has a misleading design, I only realized I was charged when checking emails from Apple. other users should be careful downloading this app.
