Xstitcher App Reviews

After playing around with this app I found it was the best compared with other floss apps I've tried. It does what it says it will do quickly and simply. Yeah!!!

I love how easy it is to store and view inventory. However I have no idea how to add floss to a shopping list and there’s no help available. Can anyone assist? Money down the drain if this feature doesn’t work.

Nice app and seems simple enough to use. Haven't been thru all the colors yet so cannot speak as to whether colors are missing. What I WOULD like is the ability to enter quantities of floss needed for the shopping list, preferably by project. Ideally, when looking at a project would like to be able to see not only quantity on hand for each color, but also quantity needed. And to be REALLY cool it would be great if we have a quantity of a color and could allocate it to specific projects (i.e. if I have 2 of color #310, I could say that's "in reserve" for Project A, but Project B needs 3 more skeins of that color). To be fair, this is the better of the available apps I could find to keep track of DMC floss. I'd just LOVE to have a One-Stop-Shopping application to track various brands of fibers all in one place, preferably with the ability to add our own because colors are added/discontinued all the time it seems. THAT to me would be well worth a heftier price tag.

I would like to be able to enter information on my iPad and have it show up on my iPhone but just being able to do this on my phone is a big help. I posted in the frosted pumpkin stitch along group in Facebook to see whether others have this problem. They can enter in one device and have it show up on the other . So, for most of you this won't be a problem.

Great app and something I've been wanting. A great addition would be an option to print the shopping list.

For a floss inventory, I liked it. It's easy to use and I like how the color is next to the floss number. Some things I'd like to see are: 1. A way to connect the floss inventory to a project, that way it'd be easier to see what needs to be purchased. 2. A way to link this app to an account so I can use it on my phone for shopping purposes. Overall, it does what I want it to do-but, I think the above would make it better.

This app is great as far as it goes. Please update it to include Classic Colorworks and Crescent Colors floss. Allowing the user to create custom floss inventories would also be helpful.

I've been using this app for years and love it- but please update it! I can no longer add projects consistently. However, it's still great for keeping track of the stash.

Wish that I could enter 1/2 when appropriate. Would be handy when checking inventory. Also, would like to see Crescent Colours or maybe a section to enter my own inventory of other specialty fibers.

I really like the functionality but wish it would sync across devices. I load stuff on my iPad but have to redo on my phone.

I just downloaded this app today and I am really enjoying it. However I feel that the threads need to be updates because I have threads in my boxes that are not an option to add to my stash.

I really love this app!!! It helps me to keep up with any of my floss inventory and patterns

An updated review... I have been using this app for a while now, and for the most part, I like it. It seems that I go cross stitch crazy in the summer, and when I do that, I need to know what I have and what I need. Unfortunately, the option to check what is in my stash seems to have disappeared, unless I want to look at the entire catalog of DMC floss. I would still love to be able to check things off of the shopping list and have them be entered into inventory. The project list, does not organize the required floss in any recognizable pattern. It would also be nice if the project list would indicate whether the required floss is in my stash or not. Finally, as a number of users have suggested, it would be nice if this app would sync across devices. It seems like all of the pieces of this app are entirely separate from each other. If they integrated better, I would truly love this app. Until then, my trusty Excel document will have to be my main method of tracking things.

I have to say that this app makes keeping my floss stock organized and at hand. No longer will I be standing in front if the Great Wall of floss saying to myself "I know there was more I needed". I highly suggest this app to anyone that stitches.

I like tracking my DMC floss inventory as well as shopping list of colors still needed. However, app won't allow you to enter quantities needed on list. Also, if it's going to provide a conversion table for Anchor, why can't it provide a stash+shopping list for Anchor thread as well? I use both brands, so it'd be nice to have my entire inventory all in one place.

This was a great app when it was updated along with Weeks Dye Works, GAST, and Crescent Colors. The last three apps are no longer compatible with my phone because they have not been updated, so a waste of money. Please update!

I use this app to keep track of thread inventory for my small business. It has saved me so much time to have the info handy on my phone for shopping or answering customer questions!

Hate I wasted money on this. I have many more colors that are not included on the app.

I've been using the app for a few months and really like the inventory and shopping features ('tho I wish the colors would sort by number in the shopping list). Still, those features work better here than in other programs I tried. One improvement I'd like is to be able to take pictures of completed projects and store them here. Also, I'd love to be able to put in my cross stitch books so I don't buy the same one twice (again). ☺️

Great app. Would love the ability to sync between devices. Also would love to be able to see what colors I don't have in projects screen as I already have input a bunch of projects for future and makes for easy reference instead of digging out chart when I've already input all that info in app.

They should not change the inventory number if you need more than one skein of a certain color. I had 2 white but needed 4 more for a new project and it changed my inventory to 4 when I put that number in my shopping list. Please keep shopping list separate from inventory. I was really glad to find your app other than that. I saw you are going to try to get app on iPhone and iPad to sync! That would solve all problems I can see. Also you do note have the color Grits #1091 from iWeeks listed! You also need to add a place to add colors not in your lists!

I only need this app on my phone, so that works quite fine. It's been thoughtfully designed for ease-of-use. I would like to see a section added so I could store information about my Kreinik thread, if I could make a request.

When it updated to current version, it not only lost my complete inventory, the inventory page only has blank lines - no lists & no option to add lists - AFTER I MAKE ANOTHER COMPLETE INVENTORY LIST IN THE BASEMENT!

So far I really love this app! This is such a great way to keep track of my stash. I do wish that it would sync between my iPad and iPhone. It is easier to manage my inventory using my iPad but when I'm out and about and run to the craft store I could just check my iPhone to see what I need. But as it is I have to manually enter into both.

This is a good app but it has potential to be a fantastic app. The light effects variegated variations etc do not update into " my stash " I have to leave my stash and go to the main page to see if I have these. Please update the stash to include everything we have! Also dmc just release 12 new colors 3880 to 3895 for 2013 when will this be updated in the inventory?

Just started using this app, so maybe I'm missing something. To keep track of my floss inventory in general, it's fine. If you have a color in more than one project, it seems to list the total # of skeins in both projects, which isn't ideal. I also wish it worked in landscape instead of portrait. Needs some work - I think I'll go back to my own Excel inventory spreadsheet.

This app is a lot more stable and open more quickly than the "other" floss inventory app. However this app only work with DMC, luckily 98% of what I have is DMC cotton so it works. I'd still have to find another app/ system whenever I decide to add other floss brands to my stash. One thing I really missing is the +/- buttons in addition to typing in the number of skeins you have for each color. Another nice improvement would be to identify the said field as numerical only so I won't have to hit the 123 button on the keyboard whenever I enter values.

I love the idea of this app. I have not had any problems with the inventory portions but it drops the number of skeins of floss in the shopping list. Because I stitch Heaven and Earth designs I need to purchase more than one skein at a time. So this is aggravating. If they fixed that I would love it.

Before the updates for iOS 7 I could using this to track my current inventory, create usable shopping lists, and even find conversion from Anchor to DMC. However my favorite feature was that I could store everything I needed by project and it would put all of my floss for that project in order. So when I went to the craft store instead of buying all the floss for every project I would just load into the project and see what I needed. Now they are all out of order and the only thing I use this app for is once in a blue moon I will find a Anchor project and use the marcher. This is not the same app as the one I purchased and spent my hard earned money on. I wish I could revert back to the old one that I used all the time. Until the app is at least fixed I recommend using notes. Or finding a different app.

I really like this app over the other options out there but can they update this app with the new dmc releases?!? It would be nice to enter in my new thread into my inventory.

Still wish that this app sync’ed across my devices. As I mostly use my iPad when I'm working on my stitching, I would be making notes and lists on this device.... But this information doesn't transfer to my phone, as this is the device that would be coming with me when I'm at the store staring at the endless bins of floss. This is a huge downfall for me, in what I find to be an otherwise very useful app. I really hope that the developers will address this in a future release - either through a web-based sign in system, or by offering iCloud integration. I would also like the ability to show only what I have in my inventory and delete things from my shopping list. Both of these things used to be things that I could do in a previous version of this app, and the functionality seems to have been removed in the most current version. I’m actively looking for other ways to track my supply, because this has just become so much of a hassle to do anything with.

This is great for cataloging my thread. I would like the option to be able to view the listing in the colored gradient that the DMC card uses as well. Another feature that would really help me is if I add a thread to my shopping list that I already have, how about a pop up or notification? This way I don't double buy (which is sort of the point of this anyways).

Does not have some of the popular brands. For some reason it is not holding all of my inventory. I have noticed some DMC colors I have put in get dropped. It's good when it works.

Would give five stars if color infusions was included. Great to keep track of what I have and what I need

It seems like every time I attempt to remove an item from my shopping list, the app crashes. Very frustrating.

Project list hides behind the menu bar if you have too many projects. Not all of the colors are in the app (light effects, metallics). Still not a bad app for the price, but definitely needs improvements.

My 1990 "Gloria & Pat" floss list just wasn't working anymore...so glad I found this app. It just needs a couple of tweeks...shopping list needs to be in numerical order, not order added to the list. And an indicator on the floss list of which have been added to the shopping list and project lists would be a great help. Adding DMC braids would be great, as well.

It has the long term stand-by DMC colors. However, some of the newer ones, like the varigated flosses are missing. It appears it will not let you pick project floss from the 'my stash" listing. Overall, it's a good program. Well thought out as to functions and degree of complexity. Until the list is updated, it's going to be of limited use for me.

The inventory isn't even close to up to date. The majority of the Light Effects range isn't represented, and not being able to add new entries leaves this app very limited. It doesn't offer anything other free apps don't.

I just wanted a simple app to dump my hefty dmc collection data into so I wouldn't keep buying the same (and unneeded skeins) and probably spent $7 on a few other apps altogether but this one is the only one still on my phone. The features are wonderful and keep getting better with updates. I also appreciate that it groups the special light effects, satin, and variegated floss separate from the main product line.

The reason I gave 3 stars is because I like that I can add the floss I need. Now I can have it with me on those quick stops to Micheals. What I don't like is, I can't add the floss I have in inventory. It only has a shopping cart in it. So it goes to my shopping list. How on earth do I keep track of what I already have? Maybe I'm not getting it. I feel like I got ripped off!!

I decided to finally put all of my floss onto bobbins and try to collect all of the DMC colors. This app is terrific for keeping track of what I have and what I need. Before, I was bringing my increasingly banged-up sheet of DMC bobbin labels to the store and looking for numbers of colors that I still hadn't put on bobbins and labeled. Much, much easier to have the information on my phone! I look forward to adding the colors I need for my next project to the app and having the colors and amount of skiens I need right there! I was confused about how to delete items from the Shopping List section (there is a little blue trash can icon on the bottom left side of that screen that I didn't see for some reason) and I sent my question to the developer and got a reply the next morning! Very helpful and nice! It does what it says it does! Well worth the price!! Full stars!

Does what I want it to do. Very simple to use. Wish the developers would work on being able to sync between iPhone and iPad. Would be a 5 star then!

Great way to keep track of what I have and what I need for projects. Latest update seemed to make the shopping list a little less user friendly--more steps needed to delete purchased items. It wasn't obvious at first that my purchased items were being added to my inventory. I bought this developer's other apps and use them often. Would def recommend them!

This app is great for keeping track of your thread, planning projects, and making shopping lists. Very simple to use and works great!

Just downloaded and have been playing with it. Love that it includes GAST and WDW threads. Unfortunately I am not finding a spot to put threads I have but are not in the current lists in the app and also any other specialty threads (for instance I have some Gloriana silks I'd like to enter and Romy's Creations). Secondly, a place to upload photos of finished projects.

I like this app,it is easy to use and the fact that DMC inventory is divided into smaller, more easily searchable groupings is a plus. However, it really needs some sort of data transfer function, either via the iCloud or iTunes so that it can be available on more than one device.

I really like this app for keeping track of my DMC floss. I would love to see a checkbox on the shopping list so that you can check off colors when you purchase them. Or as other users have said, a button to add an item from a shopping list to a project. I guess just an easier way to remove items from the shopping list or to move them to the project/inventory list. All in all, great app!!

Usefulness severely hampered by inability to export in any form. Emailing oneself a screenshot of a shopping list & printing it out is not an ideal solution...
