Ratings and reviews

It's a good app to use for making blackwork patterns. I'm still figuring out the logistics, but right off I would say, it would be helpful if the actions in the toolbar were labeled, and if there was an option the mirror flip an image. There is a rotate option, but this only moves images around, instead of being able to flip over.

This is a very simple app which does everything I want it to! As an embroidery designer and tutor, I need to make patterns and instructions, and for most things, I use a vector graphics package. But for blackwork, you need a graph grid that you can vary the size and zoom on, with a pencil tool that draws straight lines that snap to the grid intersects. You also need an erase, undo, copy, paste, save, share. That's all. And that is what this does. Could not be happier!

Not very intuitive, but takes a bit to figure out. Once you do, you're set. The only issue I had is difficulty contacting the developer and receiving a response. The activation cost isn't a one time fee and I had to pay twice on two different devices under the same profile. No way to resolve.
