Ratings and reviews

Simple to use and clear explanations. After 30+ years of quilting I can do all these calculations on my own, but this app does it in a nanosecond! For me, the time saving is great. Especially when I'm standing in a fabric store choosing how I want to make a design. That's when I often make errors in calculations. The app offers numerous options (like, mitered corners or not) and explains the terminology. I learned that the assumptions behind some calculations are found in the "help" screen.

I'm sad about this one. If premium became a one time fee, I'd re-download and purchase immediately. Not worth having for the free calculators & had to give my email just to open the app. Ultimately though, the subscription thing is what turned my friends and I off of it. We'd all HAPPILY pay a higher one time fee for the prem features cause this is a great app that consolidates the best things from other apps in a WAY more user friendly way...but it being subscription based only feels scammy.

A great organization tool, project and stash tracker, and quilt math tool all in one! I've deleted every other app as this consolidates all of those features into one very well made app, and does it better for what my needs are.

What’s new

We've made some improvements for an even better user experience.

Happy calculating,
