StitchSketch App Reviews

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)

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

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!
