Ratings and reviews

I'm surprised by the negative reviews. I'm not someone with extensive tech knowledge, though I do use this app with my embroidery machine and don't generally have a problem. You are able to add whatever designs you want into the app, so I will either buy or download free ones and then add it to the app. It works best when near my wireless internet, so I use it in the rooms that are closer. It does what it's supposed to do.

This is one of the worst apps I have ever used and I'm an I.T. professional. I was able to get it working after a couple hours of rebooting my phone and uninstalling and reinstalling the app, clearing my cache, etc., but... I would not recommend that people with limited computer\phone skills try to use it. It really is the most user-UNfriendly app I've ever seen. I had trouble getting the app connected to the machine and even when the app seemed to be working, it would disconnet, lock up, crash... It was just a nightmare to use. Also, I tried installing this app on my Kindle, but there is no app ini the Amazon App Store. I would've liked to use it from my kindle, because I had to keep my phone available for the dot app. I can't minimize the app as it shuts down and the machine stops. So, I couldn't use my phone for anything else while emdroidering. That makes it very inconvenient.

Have just started to use the machine. Have not had any problems so far. (dont realy expect to) As far as the designs go, yes a bit limited. Finding it a bit difficult to change designs and send to machine, not the easiest app to use. Am still trying to import new designs but no luck so far. As far as a rating ....well .... 8/10
