Community Insight:
We love this game so much,this is one of our the most favorite cross stitch game ever.
Really love this we have cp and we can do it but it takes us a to do it.
We loved this app so much! But then they started adding adds and sure whatever we can deal with a couple adds. But now there are pop up ads that are driving us CRAZY and sometimes we cant even close them! Its half the screen and we have to close them whole app.
This app use to be amaizing but since they have only benn using ai for there pics it makes the app so bad but still does what it is saposed to do.
We cannot update this app because we need something special for us its not fair we dont like it because of that now Im not happy.
- Im tired of being prompted with ads every time we exit a picture or choose to not triple a prize we get for coloring 20% of an image. 2. We scroll down the All tab, but the app literally crashes every time we scroll far down enough, not letting us see the rest of the pictures.
Lately the app closes unexpectedly. And one has to restart from the beginning. Also there is no new Daily, what comes up is a finished puzzle. There has also been a few times when the puzzle we select appears with all the squares grey. We have to unstitch all squares to play.
We love it and its so relaxing but its very laggy for us at times and sometimes the music cuts out for a second and the adds just feel so long But other than that, its great.
We do like this game but there are two points that really annoyed us. 1. In our opinion, there are too many ads. We do not like the fact that you have to watch an ad to get into a puzzle. 2. This may be a problem with just our device, but whenever we click on a new letter/number the screen moves to go to the closest group of that number. We personally find that really annoying because we do the picture in groups and in there we switch the colors quite often and a lot of times it took us out of our group to go and color somewhere else. Otherwise we think it is a pretty good game but that really bugged us.
The pictures look awesome. We love doing them, but YOU HAVE TO WATCH AN AD FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!!!! So if you have it less ads we would love it.
We really enjoy the app. We even paid for it. We did them to wind down and sleep. However, they dont seem to change up the pictures once you do a lot of them and we havent figured out how to redo the pictures we liked. So we havent been able to play it much. Kinda disappointing – Once they figure that out, five stars.
If we could fix anything it would be to move error upper icon and upper upgrade bonus to the bottom colors numbers area. With them being at the top they block any clots that need filled in the way.
Stopped working all of a sudden. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Made no difference. All our other apps on our iPad are working.
Love the game.. Only thing is at this point in time it will not load..?? Cant get into the game to select support.. To get help.. Please fix we play this over all other games.. It is relaxing.. Thank you.
There are waayyy to many ads and they last for far too long.
Ever since the update it keeps crashing. It was our favorite app . Please fix.
It will not work. Comes on and then blanks off again.
After the most recent update we havent been able to open the game. It crashes after the loading screen.
Just got a new iPad and installed appwhen loading it crashes right away. We have deleted and reinstalled and restated iPad and still crashes.
We love playing this game but Ive noticed that lately the game has been freezing or stopping all together, is there an update that Ive missed or something else going on.
Game is fun. We would like to see a change in the mistake (seam ripper). When trying to zoom out or in, you almost always get an error or have to rip it out. We would have given it 5 stars if not for this. It seems a little sensitive to the touch.
Well Im just going to say this app is AMAZING we dont know how to cross stitch but when we do it on this app we can import a picture off our phone and cross stitch for someone to but a smile on there face! … But we got to say something the adds are really aggravating when ever we start a new cross stitch we get an add and when we finish a cross stitch look another add and another add another ad and another ad so on Sometimes we get two ads in a row (might be just be our device) The ads that are shown aggravates us there was one out where its at for only 1% of people can do this that gets us aggravated please lower the ads thank you have a good day.
In this review Im going to talk about things we like and things we dont like. 1. When we import an image, it makes the picture stretched out and the end result looks terrible. We have tried to restart the game, and we have tried to reposition the picture so that it gets everything, but it doesnt work. 2. We think there is way too many adds. Whenever we go out of a picture, or whenever we finish a picture, it has an add waiting for us. Also when we go into a picture it has an add 3. (This might be a problem with only our device) When we go into a picture, we notice that there are some glitches on the sides of the picture. This problem just recently started and its really annoying. If you have any ideas on how to fix this problem, may we please hear them? Now we will talk about the things we like 1 we really like the graphics and how when you use a pencil (Apple Pencil) to color the squares in it fills just like how you would hand stitch. 2. We like the daily picture option too because it gives a new picture everyday, and its something to look forward to. Overall, this is a really good game. Also a reminder, the things that we have listed in this review are suggestions and opinions. Please dont be affected by this review. Thank you and have a nice day.
We got this thinking it would be fun and because we love to cross stitch. Every picture is supposedly free but you have to watch a piss long add just to get to it. Then again if you have to do anything that pauses the game. Major waste of our time.
We would like this game a lot more if it did not freeze up so much.
The app keeps crashing when we play it.
When we get to a point to watch a video to earn a reward the program freezes up. Ive closed down the program and started over. Ive closed down the program, turned off our iPad and then restarted. But it happens over and over again. Please help, KC.
Ive had this game for a very long time. And just last night its started freezing up. We think lots of the bugs need fixed with this game.
Ive been using this app for a long time but the past few days it keeps freezing on us and we cant complete a picture.
We love this app, and we wanted to unlock all of the pictures through a yearly subscription. We got the boosters, but no new pictures. Ive tried doing research but we couldnt find anything. How do we access the locked pictures that we paid for? Oh we get it, since we already spent our money on this app you guys wont respond. Thanks for absolutely nothing, Im cancelling our subscription.
Very interesting and beautiful pictures.
It is full of glitches. Once you move the picture to your next area and let go it jumps off some and sometimes the zoom size changes. The most annoying part for us is that it freezes constantly. And Im not exaggerating when we use the word constantly. We tap or glide along to fill a square or squares and its hit or miss whether itll fill or not. Between waiting for your stitches to fill or catch up and the ads, makes this more of an exercise of patience. Which makes this app extremely frustrating and not relaxing at all. This may be the reason we delete it if they do not fix this.
Im willing to watch an ad to unlock certain puzzles. But just going back to the menu, or reselecting a puzzle, prompts an UNSKIPPABLE ad. We dont know if this is the norm, or if Im just unlucky, but Im not going to waste our time to find out. Im sure this game is fun if youre willing to pay for no ads, but Im not exactly enticed to spend $2.99 on an app that we cant really test to see if we actually like or not.
We love all the options in this game! We also love the mystery option! This game is amazing and we would defiantly recommend it to a friend.
We love the brightness of the colors as we an doing the cross-stitch.However, we are always dissapointed that the finished product loos so faint instead of a bright image like the yarn coloring.
This is our go-to app for relaxing. We find it very satisfying.
You need directions for so many things we had no idea what they meant we should do. We would be nice to have a send button so we can send to other interested people.
It takes an hour if not more than a day to finish a picture thats the only thing it a lot of work and coloring.
We had the original cross stitch and it was great. This one stinks.
We probably should have given it a one star. We love playing this. (5star there) but its so frustrating when it goes to a blank screen for no reason. We have played since last night and only got maybe 40 stitches done of same color in one small area when it happened tonight. Normally we have to wait at least a hour to several hours before it comes back to were we can play again. About ready to delete this game/app. Again if it wasnt for that reason we would given it a five star.
On google this game kicks you out you cant play it. But on apple it works great.
We think the is the most realistic game ever and so fun and we LOVE it.
We like cross stitch but continues to lock up on us. Other than that we like it.
We were hoping for a nice and relaxing and fun cross-stitching game to play and we downloaded this app, but that was our first mistake. When we opened the app, it didnt even work. We had to open it 3 times for us to actually start something, and then hen we did, it was vey slow and glitchy. It wouldnt toggle properly and we are very upset for waisting our time on one of the worst games ever.
We like this app but its very frustrating. It locks up after it plays smoothly for awhile. It can take several minutes to be able to play again. Then it freezes again. Sometimes it never unfreezes and we have to shut down the game. It may be several more minutes before it plays correctly even when we restart it.
Its stuck on the loading screen, Ive reinstalled it and restated our iPad. Ive done everything and dont know what to do. Hey sorry felt he confusion it was just our WiFi. Got things sorted out and it works now!!! Overall great game!! Probably one of our favorites.
Every time you get 20,40,60,80% through the puzzle, it asks if you want a bonus by watching an ad, or no thanks but even if you hit no thanks it still plays a long ad that you have to sit through. Anything you do you have to watch a long ad. And its near impossible to color the edges because it keeps jumping to the middle.
We really enjoy this game but theres just too many ads so we wouldnt download this game unless you want to spend the rest of your free time watching ads because its mostly ads not just coloring in the game. When we played this game while watching tv, we noticed there were tons and tons of ads. Dont waste your time.
We cant really go on this app because it keeps crashing on us, either after it opens or when we are in the middle of a picture.
Was really fun but dont receive the daily anymore so going to delete it after 2 years.
