Cricut Design Space App Reviews

I love the app but you really need to have to curve feature and more edit features for pics.

I gave it only a 4 Star just because there is a few things missing that you can do on a computer but not through the app. Other than that I love it

Absolutely love the convenience of the app being right there!

I hate getting on my computer so this is awesome and mainly what I use Everyday on my iPad for my cricut Had some issues a few weeks ago but everything is good again. Thank you for continuing to update and add to the app!

I have been a user of Cricut products for well over 10 years, and to be honest did NOT want to go wireless or digital at all. But I must say it really is not hard like I feared there is lots of help out there if you need it also. I feel like if you haven’t done it yet you should. Loving it :)

We purchased our Explore Air 2 today and can’t do anything but stare at it because the app keeps crashing (for hours and hours now) when we try to “register” our machine. I am contemplating taking it back! Is it always this difficult. I can’t see getting anything done with the app acting this way.

This program allows for a great amount of creativity for all skill levels. Love creating my own creations . The upgrades keep improving. Need upgrade to allow to rename the levels and add instructions with in the layer

I was charged twice as an in-app purchase and have yet to be informed as to how to rectify this

I paid 4.99 for a mat and it will not let me proceed.

I’ve been using Cricut Design Space for several years now and absolutely love it! It’s so easy to use and there are endless possibilities in the creations. I see so many things around me for inspiration and I can go into Design Space and find something similar or use what is there and create my own design. So much fun to use! And it just keeps getting better! I also love that Cricut listens to the users. Thank you so much for all you do!

I exclusively use my iPhone with my Air Explorer 2... it's a learning curve tho, but what I can’t figure out there’s YouTube videos for & I'm able to get it done.

Every time I try to register my device the app shuts down. I’m unable to even use my $300 device because I can’t register it.

As my title says, I think this is a good app. I’m giving it four stars right now because I’d like to see an option to omit things in the search feature. For example, I’d like to be able to omit sewing projects or those that require print then cut if I so desire. Other than that it’s great!

I have been using Cricut Design Space for 3 yrs on my iPhone. It is great! Can get any questions answered by calling Provocraft or watching video on UTube. Great product!!!!!!

The app wouldn’t let me begin any kind of cutting because it said the machine had to be registered. The machine constantly crashes when I try to register!

App constantly crashing and I lose all my work having to start all over. So annoyed!

Even though I am new to Cricut and design space, I have found it easy to navigate around. I do have some learning to do with it but Cricut customer service has been a great help! Love all of it so far!

Same features as Windows version. I would love the Option to change canvas color, Making Curved text, Keep fonts I use from Windows as sometimes it changes to a plain font if I don’t actually download my text in svg format. Otherwise it’s a great program, easy to learn. I do love that I can move objects and spin them on mats window in “make it” mode to save vinyl.

This is the most useful tool I could ever imagine! I use it to design wood signs stencils for ceramics church decorations and the ideas keep coming. I use the design app on my computer at home and use time waiting in offices by designing on my phone! Amazing! And I called customer service and they gave me immediate replacement on a bad circuit and followed up to make sure I was happy!

This app is quite the time saver. I no longer have to wait hours and hours to start up my computer with other machines whilst I can just take a second to start up my iPad! This app is defiantly good for what it’s worth. I think it should be in 5th place on life stile. Not first because of the errors and disconnections every now and then. But this app is amazing and I totally recommend it.

Cricut Design Space is like Pinterest on Steroids! I can favorite and like everything but then go back and have all the tools and designs to make all the beautiful things with a personal touch too! Thank you Cricut!

I like this app but I wish there was more options for editing

No issues. Works fine whether on iPhone, iPad, or MacAir

I love my Cricut! I use it weekly and various projects. The software is easy to use and works well. The only issue I have is the print and cut feature. Even with a vibrant image it fills the color. When you print multiple images such as planner stickers the machine gets stuck or shuts the app. I know this because I have been trying to get it to cut planner stickers for the last 20 min.

I use the app on my iPhone and I’m in love!! So glad my husband purchased the cricut for me!

I love this machine, there’s nothing I can’t do with it! I’m in heaven!

I am a newbie in design space but really have had no issues learning. I have a Cricut maker and exclusively use an iPad Pro to design and cut. Yes there is a learning curve but have found the cricut U-tube videos very helpful. From someone who had the very first cricut machine with cartridges, I feel like I have died & gone to heaven. My only criticism is that you cannot load your old cartridges from the iPad.

Love working on this app and then when I get to craft I have projects ready! It does so much and hopefully they will keep adding. Please 🙃

So...maybe I’m beginning to feel my age because I’m having difficulty figuring out my way around this machine. I have normally been technically savvy...not so much. Took me forever to learn how to print a sticker and when to use transfer paper..I love this machine just wish it was a little easier to navigate through my iPhone and iPad. Maybe if I used my computer it would be better but, it would be nice if for all devices it was a better layout. I’m only 30 too 😂

This App bridges the cutting machine to your own imagination! Choose to create completely on your own With the App, partially designed with their images, or choose a ready to make project! This app will suit any skill level! Extremely user friendly and yet, if you know more about imaging software, you can expand the experience! This is a must for anyone who wants to bring their world to life and or wish to give incredible, personal gifts!

Cricut Design Space app works pretty well on my iPad. The app on my iPhone, I deleted. It’s just too cumbersome and non-responsive at times. I usually use design space on my laptop. My second choice is my iPad.

So far I’ve used the app to familiarize myself with design space since my laptop isn’t compatible with Cricut and my Cricut Maker is left at work. I have been able to play with it, downloaded images, made sketches, used the snap mat feature. It does take a while to load sometimes but I able to do everything I need to do. Love it! The app helps me practice at home 🤗

The app works great for me! I love designing on the go.

This is a great app from Cricut. The more you use it the more you learn and the more you appreciate how easy it is.

Sometimes the machine will not connect or will stop in the middle of a job. You can not start from where a job left off. It completely ruins a project if stopped in the middle.

Great way to access your designs on the road, create basic designs, and download designs from Cricut Access. Not so great if you need to design on the fly (then again the same issues exist on the computer; I often have to design in Creative Suite and import my designs). Biggest issue is accessing and editing my Hebrew and Yiddish language designs. I installed the same typefaces on my iPad that I have on my PC, but when I try to edit the text, Design Space seems to be accessing a *completely different* code page, inserting random Eastern European and "unavailable character" characters. The issue is NOT the iPad: the characters are correct in the text box; the wrong code page characters display on the mat. I need better design tools and global language support for this app to have any use beyond browsing designs and Snap Mat (when it works) for graphic only designs.

It’s working great on my phone.

It definitely complements my machine. I bought the cricut explorer air 2 about 3 weeks ago and it works like a dream. Since then I’ve created my own projects using this app and each one came out great. It takes a minute to understand the app and all its features but once you learn it, you’re set. The only hiccup I’ve come across is that certain fonts aren’t compatible between the desktop ‘Design space’ center and the mobile version. Example: I’ve created a project on my phone and want to open it up on my desktop. Depending on the font I used, I may have to change it (or it’s automatically changed) to a different (but similar) font. Other than this small issue, I can’t seem to find anything negative to say about this app, or cricut. Wishlist 2018: Cricut Maker

I have been fortunate that it has always been great. Simply to use.

I love being able to create things when I'm not at home, not sitting at my laptop or desktop, not in the room with the Cricut. When an idea hits me, I can work on it before I get home. Love it!!!!

So easy to use! Love it.

This app is unreliable and does not work 50% of the time. It is frustrating and disappointing when you work on a design to find out the app will not save the work you had done.

I use the app via an iPhone 7 Plus and an iPad mini and it works beautifully! I’ve created designs, uploaded images, sent them via Bluetooth to cut and I haven’t had any issues!

The cricut system is a must have for all crafters! The possibilities are endless when it come to Cricut and Cricut Design Space! I highly recommend this product and app for anyone who enjoys crafting! It is a great way to bond with your kids as well! I love setting up my Cricut Air 2 and opening design space let my daughter pick out a project and spend some one on one time together! Must Have Hands Down!

This has been pretty easy to use once I watched a YouTube video. I haven’t had any technical issues with the app at all. In fact I find more ideas on the app than on the web site in design space. This was a great choice!

I use this app all the time with ease. Love the step by step instructions!

Very easy to work on the IPad with - LOVE LOVE LOVE this APP

The latest update is horrible. It is so slow and I can not get anything done on it. PLEASE FIX ASAP

The only issue I’m having is with my Apple Pencil it Freezes then go white screen then I have to do backspace and starting over again but honestly everything else is going great at the Apple place and time and enjoy every bit of it if you can fix that one hiccup that would be great

I love this app and my cricut Air 2 so very much. Thank you for making something so revolutionary. I would kindly suggest that for us iPhone users (no WiFi in the country) that we be able to change custom settings more easily; be able to curve text; and upload files in some kind of improved way as these are available from a desktop in the app. But really I’m so very happy. Thank you.

I just want to know how long we have to wait before Cricut will allow curve text in the app?

Have tried to upload my own personal pic but it keeps saying Results not Found.

I love love this app and have zero issues with it!!!!!

The latest update causes multiple crashes. The machine stops and crashes during cutting - wasting vinyl. Until this is fixed the machine is useless. It was great before the update.

Absolutely love everything that can be done!!

I bought my Explore Air 2 in May 2018. I have already used it to make no less than 25 custom shirts, many many decals and more!! ❤️❤️❤️ I can’t say enough great things about the ease of use and perfection of the work!! The Cricut Design Space is SUCH an easy tool to work with. I have used the app from my iPhone, iPad and my home computer (typically I am only using my home computer to download and then upload SVG files I have obtained outside of cricut since this is cumbersome from my iPhone). All have the same functionality and ease of use within Design Space, but I actually prefer using my iPhone just for handiness sake since I always have that right with me... DEFINITELY an app not to be without while using your Cricut!!

I’ve been using Cricut Design Space both on my desktop and iPad since September ‘17. It’s so nice being able to take the iPad to my business and have the option of cutting out HTV designs created at home (on the desktop) since everything is saved in the Cloud. The convenience of the app is great, but quite a few of my projects won’t load properly on the iPad. Sometimes it says the file is corrupt and to call Cricut or the font just does not transfer correctly. Many times I’ve had to weld parts together at home on Design Space just so I can cut them out at my business using the iPad app. (I sell many personally designed products in my store.) The other frustrating aspect is how difficult it can be to create a new project on the app compared to on the desktop. After a few failed attempts at making something new on the iPad, I’ve given up and will only work Design Space on a computer. Perhaps other users have only been on the iPad app, but I for one prefer the desktop.

I totally love my cricut machine! I've wanted one for so long and got it for Mother's Day! I've purchased so many accessories. I'm addicted to making custom items for friends and family!!! I also love the fact items like vinyl other fabric and transfer paper go on sale now! Happy customer here!!

Being able to design on the go and then open on any of my devices... game changer!!! I love that the app looks and feels the same on all options. This program opens up a door to your creativity!

Love to design while away from home to cut later!

I absolutely love this app! I use it on my iPad and a laptop. It brings me so much creativity.

I can never seem to finish a project because the app continuously crashes. When I finally get it to open and stay open my project is gone, so I have to start all over again.

The new app with its ability to upload photos from your phones, is such a time saver. I’m very pleased with the app. It makes my use of my Cricut machine all the more convenient. 😊

I love everything about this EXCEPT... I have a project made on PC using straight lines only... when using the app on my phone, it will not let me move my 10.5” “attached set” of lines all the way to the corner because of the invisible blue box when highlighted therefore the app thinks my 10.5” image is over 12” and will not cut it because it’s too big! Please fix!!!

Love the quick access on my phone. Can be a little slow to load sometimes but very easy to use.

This app is not user friendly, constantly freezing up, and randomly shuts down. I am actually considering selling my machine so I don’t have to deal with this horrible app anymore.

This is a great app

I really like the idea... however I’m disappointed with the whole system. We paid $300 for the machine and downloaded the app. Almost every project needs payment, and once you pay it’s a one time use. Yup! You paid to use the pattern one time. For example a card is anywhere between $1 and $15.99 (not even kidding! I actually saw a card pattern for $15.99; after purchasing the package!). So it’s just about a must to buy the monthly or yearly package. Even with the package there’s so much that cannot be made. The app is very slow to load... especially on the weekends when it’s prime crafting time and most likely a lot of people are using the app for their projects. For example, I just deleted the app and re downloads it in hopes it would work better. In the time it’s taken me to write this review the first page has ‘finished loading’ but has no projects, blank... If you go in to make a card, be sure you look at the dimensions. Parts of the card are almost always the wrong dimension. I just made a layered ‘Love’ card and the two pain parts were 2X3 inches when everything else was 5.3X4.2. Also the scoring lines are likely not in the right location and needs to be altered as well. This app is supposed to be a convenient platform to make professional looking projects. It ends up taking me more time to use this than just doing it the old way. Now I’m $300 and counting in so it’s difficult to justify not using the program. It’s a big money/time pit at the moment.

I’ve had this App to use with my Cricut but it barely ever works. I open it on my phone and iPad both and the “New Project” box loads and opens but none of the designs or favorites show up. How can I use my Cricut if the app doesn’t work! About to return it and get a different brand!!!

🙌🏽

I never have a problem when using the computer with design space, but always have problems with the mobile APP. It will only load about 50% of the time on both the IPad and the iPhone. Very frustrating!

I love cutting from my iPhone and designing from my PC. Customer service is excellent with cricut design space.

I had the old school Cricut and it took a while to master the Expression Air, but it was worth every second. Once I ‘let go’ of my cartridge and small monochrome view habits, I wouldn’t trade your new platform for anything. Less mistakes, less wasted paper/vinyl/fabric and TIME. LOVE, love, love this app and the new hardware as well.

User beware! I just realized this app has been charging every time I go to make a project for fonts or images I purchased already. Unfortunately Apple could only go Bay 30 day for over charges.

Ive been using the app to refine my images clean them up and use my uploads in my cricut space. Love how well i can interchange from one to the other.❤️👍🏽

I actually use the iPad app more than desktop. The only thing I would love more is the pattern fill option!!!!

Love this Cricut App and updates. Thanks

Perfect when I am out and about Ivan check to see if my new idea is over Cricut. Love it!!!

I can not stand the constant buffering on my IPHONE 7. Works fine on the computer. However I like to use my phone or iPad and the cutting out constantly is the crashing just really makes me think why anyone would give a 5star rating right now I give you a rating of 0. Why because of this issue.

Would not want to be without Design Space or my Cricut. I found a whole new life with crafting in my old age. Design space gives me more ideas to be creative, and of course, my Cricut maker is the best. There is nothing better on the market to compare with a Cricut. Thanks Cricut. Catherine

For the last two year the cricut and I been buds! This last update killed it. 😒 errors to uninstall on mobile device and reinstall -after error! Repeat! Any advice getting me back on the cutting edge?

I really love the software and my Explore Air 2. I just wish that I could do everything on my iPad that I can do on my computer.

I love using the snap mat feature so I can maximize my materials with as little waste as possible!

This app is much better than cricut craft room was even on a computer! It’s kind of hard to do complex designs on my iPhone but it’s easier to cut from bc it’s wireless!

Why isn't the curve text option on iPhone/iPad device like it is on Windows computer? This frustrates me. So many of us rely on iPads and have done away with computers. Please add that to the iOS app!!!

As with any app this one has glitches and I have found that 9 times out of 10 that if I turn my phone off and back on that the glitches stop if not clearing the apps out usually takes care of any issues. The app is wonderful especially when it comes to having someone out of the blue ask if something can be made for them and it’s as simple as taking your phone out opening the app and showing them what can be made for them and saved till your back around your machine to cut the project out. The only issues I have had with the app on my iPhone 8+ has been not being able to pull up my system fonts all that wants to load are the DS fonts but I’m not totally sure if using system fonts is even a possibility on Apple devices.

I’ve made a lot of custom projects but I really like the idea of doing projects on my phone (although smaller and not easy on the eyes). I love the idea of the Bluetooth capability to cut right from the photo to the Cricut.

I love my Cricut and this app. Very user friendly.

Got a circuit maker almost 2 months ago and love it! I use my laptop for the most part. But when i do use the app on my phone the only thing i wish that i can use are the fonts i download on my lap top from dafont.com othef than that i love the app!!

I love the app on my iPhone and iPad. I can design something anywhere I am. Got a few minutes on my lunch break and I can work on a project. Another reason I love it is I can be talking to someone at the craft store and can show them on my phone what I am working on and get feedback for projects. Easy to use once you learn how to work it on the iPhone or iPad.

I’m so annoyed right now. I really like this app but right now it’s giving me a hard time every time I try to load my saved projects it’s loading and loading then just crash and he closes the app please fix ASAP. My iPhone 8 is my only Device to get my projects done. Also if can include the curve feature it would be grate. Thank you.

I have never enjoyed anything as much as I do my cricut and the app 💕I have iPhone X and prep all my prints on phone go home from work set vinyls up on boards and start cutting 💕😍

This app used to be amazing, and when/IF it works, it still is! The past few weeks have been a nightmare trying to get things done in a timely manner. It has gotten SO SLOW and crashes so often that it takes me an hour to do a project that used to only take 15-20 min at the most! PLEASE fix this so I can enjoy using my Cricut again, instead of dreading the fact that I’ll have to put up with the “loading circle” and crashing, and devastating loss of hours of work that just disappears so often now!

When uploading an svg file why is Cricut not available as an option to download to? There’s a bunch of picture, video, and editing apps that pop up. Why not Cricut? Can you fix this so items can be directly added to the app

Couldn’t be more satisfied with how well the app and the machine work together seamlessly. It’s not like one of those gadgets that in theory would be a good idea, but in he end is too complicated to be efficient and fun. It’s amazing. Beautifully done!

Love being able to multitask with this app ....

Easy to navigate, endless projects! Love this app!

With the updates I have seeing the improvements in app one thing I would like to see in next update is text solid write feature and text shapes ie arch, circle etcs One other thing would like to see in next update clear menu in cartridges is a navigation bar dedicated to singe images that I have purchased online

The app has always worked for me, although I don’t always use the app I feel like it gets the job done. It’s great when you are constantly on the go, even if you can’t cut it ‘cause you don’t have your machine you can get what you want designed and then cut it later. I have no complaints about it.

Cricut Design Space has opened up a whole new world of crafting. There are so many possibilities where you can take what you imagine and turn it into something great! Cricut Design Space is pretty intuitive which makes it so easy to use. Love this app! So much fun to go in and start creating. Thank you so much!

I love this app and the convenience of being able to design ideas anywhere. I just wish the curve text ability was available on the app.

I love my Cricut Air 2 and the Cricut app. I have made so many things and a ton more I want to make!

I have wanted a Cricut for a long time. Finally got one and I love it! The app is pretty easy to figure out.

Great app, makes everything easy!

In the beginning things can seem overwhelming with the app, but once you figure out how the app works, you feel unstoppable in the craft world! Lol Plus, if you’re ever unsure about something with Design Space, look it up on YouTube or Pinterest. There are all sorts of step by step tutorials on various projects!

Admittedly, I am a skeptic at heart. I assumed that the Cricut would be overrated. And being a techy, was very turned off at the thought of being locked in to using design center. Thus far, neither have let me down. For the purpose of this review I’ll keep it to the ios design center app. It has not crashed on me. It is responsive. And you’re able to execute nearly everything from the phone that you can from the Mac web app. For the most part I use the computer to build out jobs. Then use the iOS app when I’m ready to send the jobs to the Cricut. I have been impressed with how Cricut makes the software easy to use for the novice or casual user. It also supports inputs from more advanced applications (Illustrator specifically) for power users. I work in software development, so I have a great deal of appreciation for achievements like this. As for constructive feedback: * I would like to see a back button or a ‘history’ feature to be added to the ‘Home’ section. I do a lot of browsing and sometimes you just want to compare something found in a search to something you have stored yourself. The only way to do this is to re-execute your searches each time to flop between the two. * Maybe more of an overarching feature here - but I would like to see the addition of ‘lists’ to the design center app. So when browsing projects you could add them to personal lists (maybe create a list for a specific occasion, idea, present for a person etc). Similar in nature to a wish list in apps like amazon.

As of today the app freezes on my iPad or iPhone. I’ve had a little better luck with design space on my laptop. I’m unable to do anything on the iPad and iPhone. The last several weeks have been terrible. This review is solely for the app as I love my cricut but if I can’t use it then I have an issue. Please fix design space!! It has fallen off the mark of where it was and is failing. So sad :(

I have been using this app for a while now and overall it has worked just fine. Recently though it has been freezing and crashing. I cannot even get through a project. Please fix this.

The iPad program keeps not loading and even closes. I have reinstalled. I was really loving this program until the last few weeks it won’t load things right and takes forever. My iPad is new and WiFi is working perfect. I use the program everyday creating projects and printing so it’s very frustrating. Please fix it

So I spent all this money on the cricut maker and I have a brand new iPhone, yet neither cricut app works correctly and I’m lucky to even get it to load up and show anything, but it doesn’t save my favorites, it’s just a super c***** unusable app, an app that without it makes my very expensive machine worthless..should have bought a glowforge

I’m not sure what’s going on, but just like another review said, the last week or so has been abysmal. Spinning wheel, blank screen. Kinda wishing I’d gotten the Silhouette at this point.

Takes forever to load. Very frustrating. I love my machine, hate the app.

I am in love with this app. It’s great to be able to design projects on the go. I had a little bit of learning curve with the tool bar but after a few projects I got the hang of it.

I also am having a difficult time getting anything to load on my iPhone X or iPad. Sometimes the page will load after several minutes but most of the time all I get is a blue box that says new project and the rest of the page is blank. This is very frustrating when you are trying to find a project to make! Sometimes refreshing it several times will bring up projects on the page but this is very inefficient!

This is amazing when it works. The when is key. Design Space rarely works in the evening. Maybe it’s the flood of users overwhelming their servers, I don’t know. But I should be able to use a $250 machine after dark if I want.

Rather than drag laptop and craft supplies to campground, I enjoy designing with phone and then cut when I get back home

Long story short. It takes forever for the app to load, the gray circle just spins. Once I’m finally to get into the design space, it resets! When I’m looking through ready made projects, the page CONSTANTLY reloads and starts at the beginning of the search. Very frustrating and time consuming. Until they fix these bugs I’ll continue to work off my computer!

Cannot even design with this brand new machine because this app is a joke. Will not load no matter what we have done. iPad and IPhone are the newest ones too so it’s not the system

This app is working out well so far.

Loads forever then comes to a blank screen with the only option to create new project. This has been happening for weeks, I even tried uninstalling & redownloading.... very disappointed.

I have been exclusively using an Ipad 3 as the main driver for the Cricut Maker. I have not had any problems with saving and retrieving designs. I am exclusively cutting fabric and am not using the pen at all, so that may be where some of the problems for others have come in. My major complaint is the steep learning curve to figure out to use the design space app. I got most of my help from online blogs and you tube as the developer instructions I think assume you already know how to use it! I started with the Maker and am very pleased with out it functions. Now that I am experienced and have cut out over 1000 pieces, my only complaint about the app is that you cannot save your mat layout. I do a lot of production cutting, where I cut the same layout lots of times, but other times I need to cut multiple different layouts. Having to redo the mat every time is tedious and time consuming. The machine gets 5 stars +, the app 3.

Love it!

I'm trying to us my Cricut Maker. I'm online at design space and it won't bring any of the projects up, in any category. I have done everything I can think of! I’ve been dealing with this for days now. On my iPad and iPhone, same thing. I am new to Cricut but intelligent enough to know when something isn’t working correctly. Maybe returning the Cricut is the next step!!!

This app is great- easy to use. However, there are a few things on my wish list. I would love to use the curve feature on my iPad. And it would be so amazing if Cricut would get the conical warp like silhouette has. If those two things happened I would give it 5 stars.

Worked great until recently. Now when I long in images on the home screen doesn’t load. The search ch function doesn’t work. Had an image saved and the app wouldn’t work. Went to my laptop only to find out it was access item. I have installed and reinstalled the app several times-no luck. Can’t even rate the app because all the nicknames are taken.

I know this is long but please read. Is anybody else having this problem with an iPad or an iPhone. 8/18I am beginning to wonder why I bought this cricut explore air 2 - 3 weeks ago. I downloaded the app like the instructions said and everything was fine; I used it one time through the app on my iPhone 8+ and everything was fine. Then 4 days later I went to use my Cricut and none of the pictures will load on the app all I get is just a swirl. And after about 4 minutes of the swirl it just loads a blank screen with the square on it. The square says new design that’s not what I want because I don’t know how to use my cricut. I called support and they had me uninstall cricut design made sure I didn’t have cricut basic installed as well because apparently those two apps fight each other if you have both of them installed together and then re-install this app. And of course the same thing happened. They even tried at tech-support to log onto my account and try it there the same thing happened for them as well they told me to wait a few days and see if it continued. Tech-support said that other people that had iPhones and iPads were having the same problem as me so just wait. And the problem will resolve itself. Well as you guessed it it’s still continuing this is so frustrating all I want is to use this $350 machine that I have purchased.

I absolutely love DS- when it works. All I ever get anymore is an orange error at the top telling me toco tact DS because it can’t load. After running around kids, school, and work and finally getting some me time at 930, the last thing I want to do is call customer service.

Great app! Create anytime & anywhere! Only wish the curve text function was available on app!

This is my favorite app ever and I love my cricut.. but every since the new update my design space app is running TERRIBLY, it keeps kicking me out and taking forever to load any of my stuff.. idk what is going on but can someone please fix it?!

Love that I can use the app on my iPad anywhere. Works great with my cricut explore air 2. I love making things for my kids, family, and friends.

I love this app but it takes up 233 gigabytes it’s a lot *update the new update fixed it yay

Easy to use and modify

The absolute best tool any crafter could have! Whether you need a last minute card, want to organize & label the house, design gifts and clothing... this does it all. The possibilities are endless. The groups that are available to learn from others are inspirational. The only thing I would recommend to people scared to take the first step, jump in the deep end! It is such an amazing product, you will love it!

I have the explorer air 2 and with this app in combination with the bluetooth is just amazing!!!

App is improved on iPad. I can now work without having to start over again and again. It is not perfect but close to it.

Procrastinated on buying my Air 2 for months, what was I thinking?? DS lets you create things I never even imagined possible! There are a few things I wish were additional options but the app works great!

This app works great on my iPhone and iPad. I have no trouble at all making my own designs or even using a design that comes with the program!

I used Craft room, but this is SO much more!

I’ve enjoyed using the app. In the beginning I had a few hiccups connecting to my iPad. I am at ease with a computer so I wasn’t intimidated. Sometimes it worked sometimes it did not. Whenever I called the help desk the techs were awesome. They were knowledgeable and professional. Now I occasionally have trouble with my PC talking to my Cricut access. Not a problem though since I usually use my iPad. It connects every time. The app has plenty of fonts and images to choose from. Even the ones that come with the monthly subscription are varied. I like that. All in all, I am happpy with the Cricut app and use it often.

This app is great and easy to use i love my Cricut machine

With the updates I have seeing the improvements in app one thing I would like to see in next update is text solid write feature and text shapes ie arch, circle etcs

I love this app! I work a lot so I design projects all the time while I’m working third shift and when I have time I cut them out! I like using the app on my phone better than the computer because the iPhone app has the guides. The only reason I like the computer is that I can’t get all my fonts on my phone.

I love having the flexibility of working on my phone and iPad. When I am at my sons practices I can work on projects. I also enjoy being able to upload images.

Love how easy and user friendly the app is. Great ideas and tutorials.

Cricket Maker Wonderful machine! Quite-powerful. The variety of materials and thickness provides possibilities of creating many and varied project. This machine and the online design studio increase crafting project possibilities.

Love this app.

I have the maker and i love it!!!! It easy to understand and to work with

I love this app. It works flawlessly on my iPhone and iPad. Kudos!!

I think the app is nice but I think you guys should make more stuff free...I get you guys. Wed a profit but make some more stuff free and lower the prices please.

One word, convenient. Anywhere I am at anytime I want to be creative. This app is right at my fingertips. That is what makes it so wonderful! I love it! Natalie G.

This is a wonderful app. It helps me with ideas and how best to execute a design idea. FANTASTIC!!

I just wish design space on the iPad contained the options for working with wood instead of having to switch to my computer/laptop. But over all it is amazing! Works great with Procreate! It has reduced the time I spend completing my orders by 10fold!

Love the app when it works! VERY frustrating when I am constantly getting a Communication Error and I have to try to connect a million times. SO annoying!

Love the app when it works! Very frustrating when I am constantly getting a Communication Error and I have to try to connect a million times. I have the new version but still get the error message.

Does everything I need it to do. Can make all kinds of projects and not have to turn on my computer.

Every single project I work on, something goes wrong with it. The app will either completely shut off, of course in the middle of a cut, or it freezes up to the point I have to delete it and redownload it. Talked to customer service for them to not be helpful at all!

I love the app a hardly use my laptop I just wish the app had the same founds but other then the I love it 😊

love it

App works great Love Cricut DS

Love my Cricut machines ! I have the silhouette and the brother scan n cut, and the cricut is my favorite and by far the easiest to design and operate. LOVE the app the only thing I don’t like is when the software is down like cricut is working on their software you can’t cut, so you can’t be a procrastinator like I am usually it’s just for a night but if you have a project due there’s nothing you can do but that has nothing to do with the app so still 5 stars from me !

Great, portable app! I love being on my iPad while designing a project and if I need the other features I can save to cloud and complete on my desktop for the other features.

Love it so far! Im able to do everything on mobile but it seems to crash at least twice a day!its so buggy!

As a graphic designer this simple to use app come in handy to cut on the spot!!!

I love absolutely everything about this app and thank you so much for all the wonderful features! May I please make 1 request? Please allow the pattern fill feature for the app? I do projects with my kids all the time and our funds are too limited to keep buying card stock, and the pattern fill saves a lot of paper and money for us. Pretty please? Thank you!

The app isn’t super intuitive but it works. What doesn’t work is the fact that several materials and the knife blade are not available. They need to keep up with all the accessories they are selling otherwise the accessories are useless.

I love my cricket it is my Buddy on the lonely days. I love learning of all the new things and everything it does.

I use my iPad for everything but uploading SVGs which I do on my laptop. I think the app for the iPad works better for me, easier to use, than my laptop.

Love this app. So easy to work with across multiple devices.

I'm new and have been having fun. No issues that I'm aware of.

I love this intuitive app. My only wish is that developers would consider to add a “Shadow” option for uploaded or proprietary designs.

I typically prefer to use my home computer over my phone or tablet for things like this. But the program is super user friendly! So easy to use! And the Snapmat feature makes utilizing even the tiniest scraps a breeze!!!

I love using the Cricut app on my iPad and iPhone. I can do almost everything I can on the laptop. I would like to have the other features like curve text to come to the app.

I have emailed and submitted requests repeatedly for my pw since i have been locked out of the ap but i have yet to receive a response. Nice to know uou could care less about your customers. I wouldnt recommend Cricut or anything associated with thrm if my life depended on it!

I absolutely love this app! Recently I have seen how beautiful the lines are when you pull something off the internet and you are able to really edit down to the detail...love love love greatcoat cricut developers

I love my Cricut Air 2. This machine is pretty easy to operate. It was plug and play right out of the box. Couldn’t have asked for an easier system to learn.

It's so convenient to be able to use the Cricut design space on my phone and iPad. It allows me to design something whenever the inspiration hits me. This app is very user friendly and I would recommend it to anyone that has a cricut machine!

I love being able to create things when I'm not at home, not sitting at my laptop or desktop, not in the room with the Cricut. When an idea hits me, I can work on it before I get home. Love it!!!!

THANK u for ADDING the upload option to the APP but the cleaning it up option is not really working too great .. i click spots and it dont clean them up.. but sure u will get it fixed soon! But the app is awesom now! Get that fixed and its 5 starts for me!!!!! OLD POST >>>>I baught the cricket air 2 because they said it could be used with ipad and iphone .. with the APP! .. WELL the main reason i wanted it was to use a pic of my kids and make stuff with there pics but this GREAT app does now allow you to upload ur own images! .. thats stupid! $300 for a machine and now im supposed to buy a computer?.. you need to fix the app so you can upload ur own images!

Every time I try to use the app I click on a project or template, or anything really and it has a spinning wheel for a long time before eventually saying it can’t load and try again later. After trying multiple times over again still the same result both on WiFi and using data.

I absolutely hate using design space on my iPad or iPhone. It’s ridiculous how many small features are only available on a laptop or desktop computer. It’s quite frustrating. Especially since the Maker is Bluetooth and optimized to work with mobile devices. I think I’m going to stop using the app and my Cricut altogether until they make some improvements on the app.

This app is the best when your on the go! You can work on it anytime

The best design program ever

I am just so amazed about how much there is to do on Cricut Design. I hope I will be able to enjoy doing every one of them. Judy Piland

Love this app especially when I am on the go!!!

So easy to use and the selection of fonts and images with the subscription is well worth the nominal fee. Great bang for the buck!!

I usually use my laptop to design. But when I use my iPad or iPhone, I love it! The app always does what I want it to.

Love this app! I find I do 99% of my work with my Cricut through this app. The user interface is very easy and the Bluetooth connectivity is always seamless. I highly recommend as it's so much easier than getting out my laptop.

Love this app, allows me to work from my phone anytime i like!

I’m really enjoying this app!! Only having one problem and that’s finding my saved projects.. 🤷🏻‍♀️ If anyone can help, I’d greatly appreciate it!! Thanks in advance!!

This is a amazing app it works great.🤪 you cane easily arrange whatever you need to and move around on the canvas you can also access your projects from other devices or your computer.its really convenient for when you go on trips because you can just pull it up and start working on it

I’m addicted to my cricut! Love the app got no problems with it. Recommend this to everyone that loves crafts

Love it love it love it. Makes crafting so much easier

Awesome app, Awesome designs

My computer is broken, in the mean time I need to fill orders. I downloaded the app and it took me a few to learn the app but once I got the hang of it, it’s been wonderful!

*UPDATE #2, Still not working. Almost every thing I've tried has had problems. Right now I can't open projects, Edit projects, open any project to view it, and it won't even cut. The font does work until you try to cut. It first says it has to have visible items to cut, but there is text, so it's not reading it, then it goes to another error saying it can't cut. Frustrating as heck! UPDATE: App worked after this last fix, now they released another update and is no longer working...again. App just opens and closes windows over and over again without displaying anything. Can't cut, or use the machine AT ALL, for the second time in a few months. Definitely NOT worth the money I spend for a subscription. Tried on two different iPads and a laptop. This program is way scaled back and is organized like a 10 year old threw darts at the wall and picked random ideas to fit together. It is lacking in MAJOR design basics. You can't warp or move font into shapes without having to go through a bunch of hoops. After the last update it no longer goes to cut. After designing and pressing the "Go" button closes the entire app. I've tried on two different ipads. I hate paying money for such unreasonable unreliability.

It’s very frustrating and annoying otherwise when it does work it’s a good system. Has a long ways to go to compete with photoshop and illustrator though. Cricut needs to invest in better technology

I prefer using my iPad over my laptop when it comes to designing and searching. That being said, I feel cheated because not all features are interchangeable. So I cannot find certain features on my app that I can in the PC version. If this was possible I would be all in.

I’m rarely at my desktop so the iPad app is perfect for me .. as many features as you need & being able to save to the cloud makes working on projects seamless.

Works great 99.8% of the time. I designed a vinyl project that required using the mirror feature and I was not able to find it while making the project. I had to save my project from my iPhone to the cloud and do it on my laptop. I am pretty sure I have done this before but perhaps it was my iPad. At any rate being able to turn on this feature is much needed on this app. Thanks!

Love using the I-pad with this app. Very user friendly and easy to run. Much easier than running on a pc. Thank you Cricut for a great app!

So, Cricut works good on my iPad or phone but not on the computer. Super slow to download what I was working on my iPad. Once I’m able to open my project on the computer, the size is changed or incorrect. I can size something to be 3X2.5 on the iPad but will save or print out way smaller then that.

I’m loving this app!!

I’m still learning how it works and I want more outlines that have awesome designs but I’m still learning

Great app, would be nice to have capabilities to download different fonts like you can on the desk top. Other than that works great.

Nice to be able to use this app when away from home!

I love it, specially when I’m out of town I can work on my projects ❤️

Easy to use

I love absolutely everything about this app and thank you so much for all the wonderful features! May I please make 1 request? Please allow the patter fill feature for the app? I do projects with my kids all the time and our funds are too limited to keep buying card stock, and the pattern fill saves a lot of paper and money for us. Pretty please? Thank you!

Cricut Design studio is a well designed crafting site. Design presentation is appealing. Photos of finished projects are motivating. Projects that are offered are within the abilities of most novice crafters. Complete list of supplies needed and easy directions are provided for each project. Site also, provides opportunities for those that want to advance their skills and create their own projects. Customer service is outstanding!!! A simple phone call connects one to a knowledgeable person that can provide one on one assistance.

I love working from my tablet but find sometimes I can’t complete a project unless I’m on my laptop

This app took a little bit to get used to. I am very new to the Cricut world so I don't have very much experience navigating through design space on IOS or my laptop. Luckily there are loads of instructions available online to teach me.

I love working with this app on my iPad. I honestly have no desire to work with design space on my computer anymore because of it, aside from needing access to the 100,000 fonts I’ve purchased and downloaded from other sites. I just wish the erase and clean up tools were better so that I didn’t have to use other apps. One of which I paid for.

I’m brand new to the cricut family and this app is so user friendly! It is an awesome program and helps make ideas look very professional!

I’m new to cricut but this app makes it so easy and fun to use ! 😁

Love this app!

There is a search bar in the Cricut Community but it won’t let me click it to search.

I’m having so much fun with my new cricut maker

So exciting to see all the wonderful treasures she brings to the table one thing I would like to see more of is tea party favors and just all things for tea parties love you Anna you alway get just what we need I also purchase your dyes from HSN if anyone is looking for activities look to Anna's machines like cricut explore and cuttle bug I am blessed to have all the machines I make wonderful gifts of art my name is Marilyn Blum on Facebook let me know your a crafter and I will share all my wonderful gifts that I make with her dyes as well as her embellishments but you will find they are unique not the everyday stuff people make okay see you in my tiny craft room under the stairs

Awesome app and with recent revisions, I seldom do anything on the computer. I can do pretty much everything from my iPad and/or iPhone. Love it!!!!!

I have been doing all my crafts by hand, so when i bought my cricut i was so happy. It is somewhat hard for me to maneuver around and understand some of the settings, although after a few 100 times I eventually catch on. I do all my work with my IPad, so when i watch some of the tutorials it’s different. But, all in all, i am so happy i purchased my cricut!

I use Design Space for all my Cricut projects.

I keep trying to work on a project on that keeps crashing the app. It is a project that I have saved in the cloud. I have been going back and forth between iPad and computer but now the app is unusable. For some quicker work I wanted to use the iPad but just UGH! Every time I load the project and duplicate an image it crashes or when I slice it crashes too! Just WHY!?

It works outside the US territory!! I have no complaints! I love it. When I had a problem the support team help me and solved it.

Use to love this app, now it is as slow as the computer! I can’t even select multiple objects unless I drag my finger across the screen 8 times! Go too fast and it closes and I lose everything

I think this app is amazing I like how it gives you ideas and it talks you through everything I like how this app is modern and doesn't have adds and has NEVER glitches up so that's why I rated it 5 stars I really do recommend this for slot of people I love arts and crafts and spend most of my time reading and doing my cricut machine so I love it

*UPDATE: App worked after this last fix, now they released another update and is no longer working...again. App just opens and closes windows over and over again without displaying anything. Can't cut, or use the machine AT ALL, for the second time in a few months. Definitely NOT worth the money I spend for a subscription. Tried on two different iPads and a laptop. This program is way scaled back and is organized like a 10 year old threw darts at the wall and picked random ideas to fit together. It is lacking in MAJOR design basics.

After designing and pressing the "Go" button closes the entire app. I've tried on two different ipads. I hate paying money for such unreasonable unreliability.

I really can produce some nice designs with this app. Some recent improvements were appreciated. Definitely recommend it. Can be a little tricky to locate instructions to see how layers “connect”.

I need help downloaded the app for the Cricut maker. Screen opens but won’t let me click on anything just like its frozen. But can’t get it to clear screen either.

Has the potential to be fantastic. It would be much better if it didn't crash so frequently! Many features and tools could use improvements.

I love the app. I really like that you can move on the cutting mat one design to another mat before cutting. What I would love is the way you change colors. I can never get two images to change to the same color.

This app works very good! I've never had any issues.

Easy to use! Love playing with the Cricut!

Prefer this app over the computer. Things line up easier. Everything is all the same as the computer. Cricut didn’t miss any details. Thank you Cricut!

Love it. Works great on my iphone and ipad

With the new update I can’t get my uploaded images to open up and use on my iPad Pro. It says error cannot download image and it is images i have used before and I know they work.

The app is great. I use it when ever I am out and have an idea then do my project when I get home.

App crashes often. It’s slow. Overall poor for the price you pay to have a cricut machine.

Does more than I thought an app could!

Perfect for designing when I’m on the go!

Purchased an item from this app got charged 4times for the same item. Talked to the app developer on chat and they said to talk to iTunes so aM back and forth with nothing done. Very disappointed

I am new to this community and I want to say I LOVE this app. I can cut from my phone and computer! I am learning and this is making my life much easier from cleaning up my pictures to layout and cut! Doesn't get any better!

I love using Design Space to do all my projects! It is so easy to understand. Love the ease to create what I have in mind always!

I have been using this and it works great along side my laptop but it’s easy and user friendly

The fact that I can work from my phone is amazing. However the app is constantly freezing, crashing, and losing work. It takes forever to connect to my machine. It’s so frustrating.

How come there is no curve feature like on the Cricut design space? I prefer to use my iPad over a desktop or laptop. Add it already to the app

I love working with this app! I find it so much easier than using my computer. I love being able to use the touchscreen vs a mouse. It is so much easier to pick out the details with my fingers. I also love that I can clean up my images in design space without an internet connection.

Ever since the last update in May the app is slower and now if I upload and image and try to open it says that it cannot be opened at this time and to try again later. I can however open it from my computer! Super disappointed because I use the app more than my computer. So basically now the app Is worthless for me!

I love the Cricut app. It makes designing so much easier. Two request... a template and being able to curve letters would be super awesome to have on hand . 😉

I’ve started using this app instead of a computer, and it was okay to begin with. The app shuts off randomly, and I decided to write this review because this app crashed while I was using it, resulting in my phone restarting without my control. While erasing clippings from photos, the eraser will slow down and erase the whole image, making it to where I have to start over again. All of my fonts are gone, and it has increased in difficulty to use.

This is a great app

I love to use this app to design, it is user friendly and allows me to design ANYWHERE which is GREAT. BUT I have trouble purchasing fonts! Ones I have purchased and used then asks me to purchase again!?! Or they make me purchase twice!! It feels like a GIANT rip off when that happens. I do not mind to purchase what I need and want BUT when I’m charged twice or my purchase disappears the next time I go to use it I find myself wishing there were other options....

I use this app almost every day to design cards ahead of time. I love that I can take my iPad anywhere and design. The only bad thing is that it is not the update you can do on a computer and some of the new additions would be very useful to me(like curved text).

I am constantly designing custom party decor for my Etsy customers and so I use the app on my phone a lot! It’s very user friendly, easy and smooth to use! In general design space is great, the one main thing that differs from using design space on my desktop versus on my phone is that you can’t select same colors from the color pallet that you create on the phone as you do on the desktop. I created a ton of like items on my phone, but had to create colors each time so then when I make edits on my desktop I have to readjust all the colors to be the same so it knows to cut on one sheet versus a ton just because the yellows are ever so slightly different.

Okay so the desktop version of this is great. It has the templates and doesn’t crash ever. This app needs the templates. It would make things so so so much easier. Also the app itself crashes constantly on the middle of things. I beg you to put templates in this app lol

My Projects are always available to show or edit. Thanks Cricut. Is it too much to say I'm in love?

I am really happy I made this purchase, its still a little difficult to maneuver around. But, I am enjoying this and my easy press very much. Having a cricut party with my old chums to make T-shirt’s.

The app will not connect to my machine! Very frustrating it's connecting to my phone but not the app.

I love the iPad version of Design Space but for some reason the mobile version of this app has never worked correctly on my iPhone 10. It seems like it actually gets worse with each update. First it takes forever to load the app (even when I am at home, connected to wifi), once it does load (before I do anything) I instantly receive an error message “unable to load offline content, if error continues reinstall app. When I start a new project a blank mat opens but as soon as I click on the “+image” to open the image library I now get the error message “unable to load this image.” It is incredibly frustrating and makes me want to cancel my monthly design space subscription.

The app always charges me double when I am purchasing a font. The app never lets me upload anything. The app never lets me write where I want on a space. But besides that, it works pretty good.

I love the snapmat function for when I have scraps that need using. A wonderful design program that’s surprising capable for an app.

I love being able to design on the go. It’s nice to be productive when I’m sainting for my kids or anytime I have a free minute.

This software is very powerful!! Love it!

Easy to use, great for when I get ideas and I am out and about

Dose any one else have this issue? I keep deleting my apps and reinstalling because it give a error code 4 and it say to delete apps and reinstall it again. I come across this issue several times help any suggestions worse I have to restart my work all over😢 I have to put a five star because it won’t let me post

Why am I being charged $4.99 for each design I want to make?

Works great 99.8% of the time. Just a few snags with some Design Space projects, but it could have been the design or a snag in the WiFi connection.

Truly a workaholic app!

I love using this app on my iPad. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because there are features on the desktop that are unavailable in the app, specifically the “template” feature that would be awesome!

I was working on a project on my iPad, when the app started going very slowly and not recognizing when I selected items or tried moving them. I clicked the home button to switch to another app then a minute later went back to the Cricut app. It restarted as if I’d closed out, so I tried opening the project and now it says it can’t be opened. I’m beginning to hate this app and the website doesn’t work much better.

I love this app!!!

I’m so glad they have this app because I can cut or design anywhere. Nice is when you can design offline as long as all your images are downloaded well cartridges do however hope one day they will do automatic downloading for the cartridges since they are already in the account... however those that do complain aren’t giving it their best check videos check Cricut sites or even Cricut the official page on Facebook quit complaining... I Love Cricut they are the best

Where can I purchase the cricut machine? I’m watching videos on you tube on how to make all types of fans and I noticed they use a machine to print and cut. Fill me in...☺️ so excited to get started on making these for my family & friends 🤪

This app is AMAZING! It’s so easy to use, I actually prefer the Mobil app to my computer design space!

I spend most of my time in this app...has never let me down in the year and half I've been using it.

I love this app it works great but I wish we could use it upload SVGs!!!

I am new to the cricut and having so much trouble with the app. Nothing loads and it crashes constantly. Even after their newest update.

Would be nice to be able to “attach” in mobile app

I love using Cricut. It allows me the freedom to make so many projects, using my pictures that I take, draw or upload from places like Google and/or Bing Images. I only have 5 complaints with the entire Cricut Design program. 1. Sometimes it kicks me off after a few minutes and won’t stay on any longer, no matter how many times I sign on. 2. It will only allow me to Slice a certain number of times on my iPad, and then tells me that I need to sign on to my computer to continue slicing. I prefer to use my iPad, so it therefore that aggravates me because I don’t have the same freedom of movement with my laptop as I do my iPad. 3. After it tells me on my iPad that I can no longer perform slices, I get on my laptop. I will either have started doing slices or other projects on my laptop and when I try to save it, it says it is unable to save the project at this time, and if it continues, to contact cricut customer service. Well it is usually in the middle of the night, so there is no way to contact customer service, and by then I have spent a lot of time working on something only to lose all the work I have put into it. 4. I also wish you would fix it so that you could attach or weld an item and still slice it also. 5. I wish you would improve your cleanup board, and make the eraser so that it can be as small as you need it to be regardless of w big or small the picture is when left its norma size or when you zoom in & out. It gets really small when the picture is zoomed in, but then it is so small you can’t see what you are doing, making it impossible to clean it up without making mistakes. If the picture is zoomed out the eraser gets bigger as the picture does, but the eraser seems to get bigger in comparison to when the picture was normal size, prior to being zoomed. When the picture is zoomed the eraser should be able to get smaller and be as small as possible to get inside letters, and pictures, etc. With the same token there are things that you have improved so that I have more flexibility with my iPad and one of those things is that I can upload my own Photos so much easier now, so I really appreciate that. It is easier to see all my projects at once. I love being able to use chat when I am having any problems, so thatI don’t have to wait for days and days for an email. It allows me to find the issue or answers to my questions that day, and to continue with the project I am working on. I know there is more positive things that I can say, and I will do my best to do this when I am doing it and it comes to mind. Regardless of my complaints, the positives of Cricut Design greatly outweighs the negatives, and I appreciate being able to make my own projects using my ideas or ideas I find. I thank you so much for continuing to make improvements.

Love my Explore Air, I just wish there was a way for Cricut to automatically apply your rewards points when you purchase a cartridge, especially a digital one, perhaps at the same time they're sending you your receipt via email versus having to call or email them and having to request your rewards points be credited. So many users aren't even aware of the fact there is a rewards system... Design Space is unstable at times, it's so frustrating when it's working great one hour but the next you begin receiving "Shockwave Flash" errors, regardless of which browser's in use. Why is it so hard to add curved or warped text to put projects? This seems like it would be a simple feature to add versus having to create a circle, isolate or ungroup your text, individually position each letter around the circle, delete circle and then attach your word... so many steps for something so simple. Additionally, there needs to be more emphasis on new users needing to watch Cricut's videos on YouTube OR Cricut should improve the manual that comes with the machine! New users seem to be lost when they first begin. If the above were added or changed, the overall Design Space experience would be the best on the market and provide guaranteed fun at all times!

App works well while away from my laptop. Only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars is that there are no templates!!! That would make it so much easier when designing away from a laptop or desktop. Please make that feature available.

Great app; does exactly what I need to make me fall back in love with my crafting. Am I missing something though on how to curve text?

UPDATE: We now have the ability to upload pictures on the app!! Fantastic job!! Thank you! This is a great app. I love the fact that I can work my Explore Air 2 wirelessly right from the app. The only drawback...and it's a BIG ONE...you can't upload images from your phone into the app's design space. Having to do it from a PC or MAC is a big inconvenience. Please fix this!

It works great and will sync well with your machine.

My only regret is that I did not buy the Cricut sooner! I recently bought the Air 2 and it’s a DREAM. Although I can use my laptop I have exclusively used the machine with my iPad using the Cricut app. Everything can be saved to your iCloud Drive (but have option to save to iPad). The great news is I can then access my iCloud Drive via my laptop if needed which has honestly been rare. My background is in advertising and marketing so I have a great appreciation for the ease of creating in my home as opposed to paying a professional printer. It reminded me of reading a negative review from someone trying to create intricate wedding invitations who was frustrated with the machine/app. Don’t let that deter a decision to buy or not buy the machine. The higher prices from printing companies are due to the misprints and mistakes. You can’t expect a machine intended for home use to mass produce large quantities with such detail on the first try and achieve perfection. Just like you shouldn’t expect absolute perfection as you are learning the machine and how to create your designs (if you’re a newbie like me) without a learning curve.

I got the Cricut Maker for Christmas. The first project I tried to make, half the instructions are missing. I messaged customer support. I’m still waiting on the response a month later with an entire project cut it and missing instructions. The second project I found on the Cricut Facebook page and it will not load at all. It is a sponsored project they advertised on their Facebook page and it won’t load. Very disappointed

I just updated and now I open projects I created on my iPad and no fonts are supported. Why is the experience so different on a computer, iPad and iPhone when you boast about being able to use any? I paid a lot for this including Cricut access and you missed the point of ‘access’ cause I can’t access it half the time. To get my point across, I am not only a crafter, I’m an IT pro.

Great app but I would love all the features available from the desktop version in the iOS version! PLEASE bring an update with the curve feature for iOS!!

Can’t open many of the projects since I updated. Wish I hadn’t.

I love this app and working with it, I think the finally pleasure would be a chat with all the people use this app..like game world of Warcraft that I use to do in my young age❤️

I've been using Design space for weeks now, and it will not allow me to use system fonts offline

Love the app, but it is extremely faulty. The connection to my Cricut Explore Air 2 connects and disconnects between cuts. It really slows down productivity. I have also been kicked out of my account several times but when I request a new password it sends me nothing as if I don’t exist. Cricut has a lot to learn in the app department. These issues made me reconsider my purchase.

I’ve had my Cricut Explorer for 6 months now. In large part, I opted for the CE over a Silhouette due to the reviews of the Design Space app. Since getting it, I’ve not been disappointed with its ease of use. And I love the fact that the app is fully functional. I’ve used it only with my iPad, never a computer.

I love my Maker. I wish that you could make the print to cut feature bigger. I waste alot of vinyl due to the sensor marks are so spread out. Thanks.

My fonts disappear and difficult downloading new fonts not easy,then these disappear. Everything you do cost money, think we should get a lot more free

Great app but when is Text Curve coming to the app?

Creativity has never been so easy and convenient. Who doesn’t have a phone 24-7 now to be creative?!? I love how I can work without WiFi and save it for later. This AP is terrific! Better than Wasting time on FB too!

Fantastic app for cricut machines! Fairly easy to navigate! Use it whenever I'm crafting.

I love using the app. It’s convenient it’s easier than the webpage and makes it much faster to create projects. Where I live is rural and it’s hard to get the internet connected to the phone WiFi and w the app I can just work straight from my phone.

I’m in love with this new updated Cricut app.

My only complaint with the app is that I can’t figure out how to look at my saved projects. I have to get on the computer to get to them.

This is a great app. Super easy to navigate...I found it easier than the computer version.

I have only had the Cricut a few but have already encountered so many issues. I have seen error message after error message. Sometimes if it’s for the connection to my phone or unable to download the image I clicked or even to open a saved project. Sometimes it just freezes. Terrible.

Love using the app on my phone and my iPad but wish they would put the option like they have on Design Space for computer to select a canvas to work with. Sometimes I’m not near my computer when I need to design a shirt and I have to use my phone or iPad. I like seeing what it’s gonna look like on the shirt or other canvas items.

I love using the Ipad app... MOST! The Ipad app seems to have more tools than the laptop app. The snap mat feature is amazing! I would love more image editing tools. I am a bit sad that Cricut hasn’t updated the App as they have the Laptop App: by this I am referring to the word curve tool. Otherwise I couldn’t be happier.

Dying for this functionality, which now exists at a UI-level, but unfortunately the favorited projects data doesn’t persist. Refresh any view and you’ll see it didn’t save. “My Favorites” screen also remains empty. Otherwise, a phenomenal app.

I have been using the design space app on my iPad for about a Month. I normally use images from my photo gallery and use the editing tools to make them into images suitable for cutting. I updated the app yesterday and now the remove tool is not working at all. I’m very disappointed with the latest version as it has basically made the app unusable for my needs. The app was definitely a 5 star product before, because I was able to do everything I needed from the app. So disappointing.

Here is my story ... I knew about Cricut years ago and wanted one, but when I saw the price of cartridges and I only wanted 1-3 images ... no way. Ok ... a friend of mine had a Cricut Air and her husband bought her the Cricut Air 2 Christmas 2016. She is a devoted mother as well as helping husbands busy job ... so, she asks me ( I am a retired teacher and love to teach anything, especially techie stuff) if I would learn how to use it and teach her ... this was in Feb 2017 ... by the time I learned how to use it and saw that I could buy images one at a time ... I was hooked and before I taught her how to use hers ... I had ordered one for myself ... fast forward ... HSN Craft Month (Oct) ... I then ordered myself a Maker, and convinced my wonderful sis in law ( who loves to sew) to get a Maker ... so, March of 2018, she got one. Yep, love doing a lot on my Maker and CA2!

After updating the app on my phone and the software on my computer I lost all of my favorites and some of my saved projects. Whenever I try to save a project to my favorites it won’t save anymore. Some projects won’t open. This happens on both the iOS and computer. I’ve talk to other Apple based users and they’ve had the same problem.

I love this app I love to make my own greeting cards and scrap book pages as well as quilt and I can see how it will look and cut it out witch saves time but you can't do your hole quilt to see how it would look the only thing I wish I could do is build the hole design then break it down to what the cricut can cut just to give me a little more freedom in my designing but I do love it and use it every day

I updated my cds app this morning and since the update I’ve been unable to open my projects. I keep getting a message saying my project is damaged or corrupt. Even on things I’ve designed since the download. I use my app on my iPad the majority of the time because the app is a bit less frustrating and glitchy than cds online. If they’re both about to be awful to use I’m looking into buying a Silhouette.

I’ve been using the cricut machine from the 2nd generation. I use cricut design space all the time. I do have problems here and there but it always works out for me.

Everything I’ve created and put in my cloud can’t be opened in the app which makes the app pretty useless.

Love this app! We have horrible internet connection in the area I'm in however my data works great. It makes it so much easier now that I don't have to get on the internet using my laptop. It makes everything super quick and easy. Only thing I would change is being able to use fonts downloaded on my computer in the app. Other than that it's great

I love this app. I love that I can work on a design in my living room with my family on my iPad and then move to my office and it’s all there still on my computer. Both devices work seamlessly with the program!

The designs that have been created are very easy to make. However, I do have trouble when trying to create my own designs. It will take some work and some fun to get familiar with the space to create my own projects.

When my laptop is acting up or updating and I’m in a crunch; I use this app for Designs I have in my cloud to do a quick cut. So convenient!!!

This app worked fine until this latest forced update or whatever. It’s a true inconvenience to be in the middle of a project and then the app becomes corrupted or malfunctions, deleting my progress AND slowing down completion times! Please fix these issues and leave it alone. We don’t need a Cricut community and we can’t share projects IF THE APP AINT WORKING!

I have used Cricut and Design Space for years I love every thing about cricut !!! Thank you for all the great time we have making all crafts!!

Make this feature available on mobile!!!

This app is so easy to use. I can design and print out stencils for my painting so fast with this.

This app works so well! I love it! It is easy to navigate and very intuitive! Thanks cricut! ❤️

I really like Cricut, I have made many things as gifts, decorations, and cards. I just wish I could warp text and images to fit around curved items. I make candles and would like to wrap my entire jar but it only works if the jars are even all the way around.

I love this app. The project easy to do. Some of them are really pretty.

I love the features of this app, but the crashing problem is extremely annoying and inconvenient. 5/12/18 The crash issue continues to be a big problem for me. No other apps on my iPad have this level of crash issues.

Love it .

The app works really awesome the only thing that I have with it is that the special fonts that I have downloaded on my computer aren’t available so I have less options and it’s harder to move around the screen at least on my phone

I have this app and after the new update it not only asks me to pay for in app purchases when saving my project, but also to pay again when I make the project. Cricut help told me to contact the app developer and when I click on developer website it says can not be found! I love making projects on my cricut but I am getting ripped off!

I love the app it’s so convenient and easy to use whilst not hindering your ability to create literally anything you could on a laptop. Which is great for me bcuz I’m always on the go and This allows me to literally design and prepare any project I have for cutting on my 3 hour commute to and from work everyday!

This app is the absolute best eve, I’m serious . I’ve never been more proud of Cricut . I love the fact that you don’t need any outside programs to be able to have a good traceable function. The trace function is spot on replica of what you trace . Also Cricut stands behind there products 100% let me just start by saying that. They are very giving and extremely generous and they are not happy until the customer is satisfied and let me just say they make the customer satisfied on the first report of an issue . Crucut I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing me back over from anyone cutter that I never could master, wasters tons of money and vinyl on due to the fact it just didn’t cut completely through my vinyl like the Cricut . I will truly Be forever thankful for your generosity !

Easy to use and enjoy working with all of Cricut items!

Has been my absolute favorite app! However tonight it will not load offline content to use? It is all that I have saved in the cloud.

Keep getting an error 2 code says it can’t download content

I love this app!! Easy to work with!!

I absolutely love my cricut explore and everything about this app except the fact it uses 35 GB of my storage on my iPhone. That’s almost half of my storage. I will be deleting this until I can figure out a different way to use design space :(

The changes in the upload you own image need to stop. Now you can handle upload anything!!!

I've had a Cricut Expression for over 7 years and have always used the Sure CutsAlot software to create things, but recently I upgraded to the Cricut Maker and Cricut Design Space. I've never used the Cricut Design Space before and I'm just in awe of all the incredible things I can do now! Best of all, NO MORE CARTRIDGES to keep up with bc they're already in the program! I also love the fact that if I have a question about a purchase or need a little guidance, the ability to talk to someone any time I need is incredible! One would need to try the Design Space and the app to see all the possibilities. I give this app a two 👍🏼👍🏼 for ease of use and project ideas!!

Love everything about Cricut, so naturally like this app . It is so convenient!

If you love to 'cricut' this is the place to be. Yet the site cannot handle the traffic and also gives and the takes designs away. Frustrating Hoping this is just growing pains and the team at ds figure this out

I love the idea of having an app on my phone and love being able to work from my phone. With that being said the app seems to get a lot of errors, it crashes and freezes on me rather frequently, and then just recently it told me a design I spent like 5+ hours working on and saved multiple times was corrupt and now the design won’t even come up at all. It took me forever to get it the way I wanted it just to have it go MIA and not work. 😞

I love this app!! Easy to use!! If I can do it anyone can...I’m not very tech savvy!

I can have my iPad in the craft room to design and cut and no more running back and forth from my computer. It works pretty well.

I loves this app cause there’s so much you do and so much you can make like for Example I made my sister a Easter card for Easter it came so pretty

Could not decide which I wanted the ScanNCut, or the Cricut. Found a good deal on the Cricut, purchased it and have never looked back. It has been a blast learning the system. The new “curved letter” program is amazing. Really just enjoy everything about it. Thanks ...

I use this app almost daily. It is close to the computer website. Only wish it was exactly like it since my computer is old and entirely too slow to use.

I would love this app if I didn’t have to delete and reinstall it every couple of months. Each time I’ve had a problem I contact Cricut and that’s all they can tell me to do. I understand that may be the only way to fix it, but how about not having that problem in the first place. I’ve had everything from no connection, to crashing when I open the app, to the newest “error code 4”. Oh and when I tried to report the latest bug, the app crashed!

This is one of my favorite apps love it

Slicing on the iPad seems to be non existent. I slice my text and image and it turns gray. Does not slice the image. When will this be fixed?

Now that CDS has the new curve feature, it looks like it is not available on the iPad for designing. Where is it?

This is design at your fingertips, and you can save your work either on your phone or online start from on one finish on the other. Well done

I love the new curve ability. But if you could make it happen on the iPad next, that would be fantastic. Still love this new app. My business is booming.

The newest update says that to access offline content, I need to delete my app and reinstall. This likely deletes my offline content, I’m a little confused by the message. Furthermore, when I click on “make it” to send the design to my printer, it says it cannot connect. I have rebooted the device, my machine, etc. while I had trouble with earlier versions disconnecting in between cuts, now I cannot cut at all from my phone. Please fix this ASAP! If you have not already downloaded this version, you should wait!

After writing my last review I have no longer had anymore crashes and the offline error has been fixed. But new issues have risen since the update to fix the offline error it seems it’s made the app very slow. I experience this mostly when uploading images I get upload error messages. I try 2-3 times then they go through. It also takes awhile to leave pages and continue the task I was doing.

I this app works great. I just wish that there were a couple of features. 1. Delete multiple Uploaded Images at once - deleting one at a time is a pain 😓 2. I wish that the lining up feature where yellow lines come up, were also on the computer.

I love this app but can you add the pattern feature.

I like Cricut Design App for my iPad. Not so crazy about the one for my Samsung Galaxy. Terrible transition. When I save a design on my phone to the cloud it changes when I open it on my iPad or computer and vice versa. That said, really enjoy using the app on my iPad. Easy to use and good options to manipulate the designs to my specifications. I like the snapmat and the ability to reposition on the mat before cutting my projects. Lots of choices for images and really like the fact I can create unlimited, personalized design.

I’m new to my Cricut and this App has been very helpful!!

It has been awesome working with my new Cricut Machine in connection with the Cricut App! The App has worked well and made it very easy to make most projects. My only frustration has been, sometimes when I have gotten a bunch of work done on a project the program freezes, shuts down and then when I open up the App again, my work is lost.

This app is GREAT!

I am loving my Cricut and this app really has so many creative projects to choose from! It’s pretty easy to use once you figure everything out after a couple projects.

Love this app so much! Cricut is always improving it and adding more and more features! Great!!!

This app is so much more intuitive to use than the web app on the computer. No, it doesn’t have the fonts that my computer has, but literally every thing else is better once you figure out where all the settings are.

This app would be perfect (and the desktop version too) IF script fonts automatically connected. Instead we either have to edit in another program first then convert to SVG or ungroup letters, move, and weld... time consuming.

Helps me create whats on my mind when I’m on the go!

Love the functionality of the app. It is super easy to create something without having to use a computer.

I’ve loved using a Cricut for years. This app takes it to the next level. The ease of use is wonderful. I bought it right before doing a big project. I thought I might have to wait to learn how to use the app after that project was done. I tried it and was able to use it for that project.

I use the app on my iPad all the time. I just wish all the feature that u can do on you computer would also be available on IPad.

Can you please add a rectangle to basic shapes? Need to use it for canvas projects. Love the app! Thanks.

I like the app and they have added many new features making it great. The new uploading files from the app is very helpful. However the app only works half the time. And I have lost all my files more then once. DON’T EVER STORE ALL OF YOUR FILES ON YOUR DEVICE! YOU WILL LOSE THEM! You must backup on the cloud. Working from the cloud is tough since their server is slow. This morning no stock projects will load, all receive the message the file is corrupt. The app only works 2/3 of the time. Hopefully they will continue to improve their servers.

Used my Gypsy for years so this was a big step and I’m still learning. But the convenience of using my iPad plus the larger/workable space - I love! Cricut also provides a wonderful staff for those few issues I couldn’t figure out myself. Thank you! So glad I upgraded.

On my iPad I have no problem using the app but on my iPhone anytime I want to clean an image it will not let me use the remove tool. I can crop and use the erase tool but anytime I try to use the remove tool it makes no changes.

It’s so easy to use! I’d be lost without it

I love the features of this app, but the crashing problem is extremely annoying and inconvenient.

I use my laptop to design using the curve text on DS. My laptop system is Vista but will not connect with my Maker. I use IPhone to connect with Maker, but the app is not able to cut items that have curve text. When will the app catch up?

I like the fact I can review my project on this app but I can’t figure out how to pull up the canvas that I’m working on. The fonts are different so it’s not true to what I’ve designed. This should mirror the design page on the internet.

Initially wrote a bad review about not being able to upload photos from iPad or iPhone, but an update has fixed this and it’s awesome now, well done Cricut.

I’m In love with my Cricut endless projects endless possibilities.

Don’t know why I did not purchase this a year ago

The app is a much better alternative to using design space on my pc.

I love how easy this app is to use. And it’s great for the most part. Sometimes it freezes and doesn’t want to work. Cricut is pretty good at fixing it quickly.

Eh trabajo con cricut hace tiempo y últimamente ah estado fallando bastante Primero porque cuando estaba cortando solo salió del sitio y mi trabajo se echo a perder y estos días tarda mucho en abrir la aplicación realmente me desespera !!!

Pro that slice function is much easier to use then the desktop The snap mat is ok but kind of hard to use if you don’t have a steady hand. Love that finally added a upload files function but can’t upload svg files yet Great app especially if you want or need to design on the go. Can’t print & cut patterns yet. Can’t curve your text yet. I also wish the would bring back the ability to upload for the desktop & app vector files.

Wow! I am so happy with the new update....it’s awesome!!!!

The app developers need to do something about this update.

I like using my iPad instead of the PC at times. I can create whenever I want.

I absolutely LOVE being able to design from my phone. I would like to be able to download and add fonts from my app. But that’s not a huge issue. However, seeing that the design space online on the computers has the curve text feature, I’m kinda hoping and wondering when the app is going to add this feature?! Also, I have an iPhone 8plus and at times when I’m ready to cut, I will keep getting an error that it’s not connecting to my machine- the explore air 2. I’ve only had my machine for 4 days, and I’ve turned Bluetooth on and off and reconnected and such but it still takes 4-5 times of closing the error out and trying to click cut before it starts working. And my phone is only about a month old so all software updates are current.

Easy to use and fantastic ideas

I been wanting a circut and now that I finally got one I can’t connect it to my phone. It won’t pair. Someone help!! I thought it was my phone so I turned it off and back on. I unplugged the Machine and plugged it back up, turned it on.. yet nothing.. it’s not working.. someone please help me out.

I am a novice Cricut user but I have had plenty of help from app.

I started off learning mostly just to do me and my family shirts and decals, now I’m basically making shirt designs and decals myself now using this app! The App has changed a lot since I’ve started working w/ it! I’ve still not learned everything I need to know on how to edit w/ My I Phone so that’s why I rated it as a 4! I watch a lot of UTube videos to get where I’m at today! But other than that I love the App just wished they had more explanation on how to use the App! But I learn something NEW everyday working and playing w/ it!

I can’t say enough great things about my wonderful Cricut machine (I have the Explore Air...hoping for the Maker in the future🤞🏼), and being an iPad user over Windows for the most part...I LOVE this DesignSpace app!! I just love the portability of my iPad and being able to create anywhere I can take my iOS device! The developers are truly genious, and you’ve made the ability to create with the amazing Cricut soooo easy and fun! There are just a few features I’d love to see come to this app ( PRETTY PLEASE!) Please add the new curved text feature and ability to note project favorites! Those are both awesome features new to Design Space on Windows! I think it would also be a tremendous app feature to be able to add shapes by dragging and dropping where you want them on the project canvas instead of them appearing in the upper left corner of the canvas. Finally, if you could make it possible to highlight/select multiple items in the layers panel by tapping (just as you would by holding the shift key on a computer) that would also be soooo awesomely great! Thank you for this app that makes crafting so fun, and thanks for considering my comments! Have a great day!!

Love the Cricut Design Space! I usually work this from an iPad or my iPhone. Sometimes it is slow or has connection issues with a busy WiFi but over all it work good. I bought it to use when I am scrapbooking but have started branching out and using it for more craft projects.

What’s the point of having an app that keeps telling you to open your project on a computer

App is way better now that it has all the features as computer!!
