Help. Cannot backup. The UI is modern looking, I like the split mode - a list of patterns on one side and the chosen one with more details on the other half. When it gets overwhelming its filters + tags are extremely helpful in searching category, fabric type, sewing features (darts, slit neck, flare). Google Drive's back up/restore worked well. Purchased fabric material insertion is missing but can be add to Notes and photo. Altogether not too bad and worth the money.
Great concept. Unfortunately it kept crashing in the middle of putting patterns in, causing me to have to redo them multiple times. Then, it wants you to pay if you plan on putting more than 25 patterns in it, so I hope you only have 25 patterns.
I've been using this app for over a year and still loading patterns. It has been so handy whether in store or in a sewing class. It has never crashed on me before or after changing my samsung. The only thing which would be good is the decades only go to 2010-2019. Can 2020+ please be added?
Overall I've enjoyed this app. I upgraded to the unlimited version for $5 because I had a lot of patterns and it said unlimited. But now it's asking me to upgrade again for more money and storage and not letting me add new patterns.
Sept 2020 Very disappointed. Lost all the photos overnight and has now been restoring for for 5 hours but only got a handful of photos Update Jan 2021 App does not work, get an error message when I try to restore. Lost all photos, now just a waste of space.
Creator of the app doesn't respond. App has a GREAT concept, but the pictures loaded initially are distorted and eventually disappear. I emailed the app creator MONTHS ago and never received a response. Nice try though.
I have tried to contact someone several times to no avail. I have a total of 709 patterns and unable to backup. That is hours of work that may be lost!😡
Great until it wasn't. I paid for the full version. Now I cannot back up so I've stopped adding new. I will change my review once fixed! This could be 10 STARS!!!
I used this app successfully on my old oppo phone, I have uploaded 230 patterns. But so disappointed now that i have upgraded to a new oppo phone and the app wont open. Will have to start again with a different app, hours of wasted time.
I liked it until I hit a paywall. you can only store 25 patterns without paying. not worth it when there are dozens of other things that can do the same thing.
I love this app and have used it for a few years now on my Android phone. Now that ChromeOS can also run Android apps, it'd be wonderful if they updated it to run on my Chromebook.
I added new patterns but now I cannot do a backup. Message says contact developer. One or more Google services is not available. This is happening again now its March 2021
I love this app! I have 235 patterns stored in it. It's so convenient to use. I had a question, emailed & quickly got an answer.
I have no choice but to rate it one star since I've installed it 3 times and it still will not open for me. I'm done with it. Glad it works for some people, but I guess I'm not one of them.
As soon as I open the app it says that it has stopped working. I have tried thrice but it says the same. Cannot open the app.
Sadly does not open on a pixel xl. Upsetting because this looked exactly like what i needed for an app.
No longer lets me back up patterns. I have hundreds of patterns saved and I hope I don't lose them.
Only able to upload 25 patterns and have to pay .99 per additional 20 patterns uploaded. Not worth downloading if you have alot of patterns
App crashes immediately and will not load, possibly because it's not being maintained.
App doesn't open at all Unimstalled and reinstalled several times, still no success
After the last update, all the photos disappeared
I can even use it for the first time as it keeps shutting down. Very disappointed.
Wouldn't open on my pixel 3. It's a shame, I was really excited about using it.
2300 patterns and backup button does nothing!
Installed the app but it won't open. I have a Huawei P20 Pro ☹️
it doesn't show any pattern as mentioned
It wouldn't open on my Pixel 3.
It's nice and easy to use.
This app is great for sorting my insanely huge library of patterns, and makes them searchable. However, it would be nice if the app had the option to add several fabrics and yardage to each pattern, since very few of my patterns only use one fabric. I would also like an option for zippers and buttons. Now I am using the "notes" to write it all, and it would be better if it was more systematic.
