Ratings and Reviews
great app
this is a great app, both the free verison and the paid (well worth the up grade) being able to save designs has saved hours of time.
super easy to use and have great features, i love the simplicity ofthis programe, it works and you can understand it. perfect in my veiw
However:
i would have given this 5 stars , but i have only one niggle. you cant save larger files than 5x7 which is annoying as most files have lager than this files, which this dosent support.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your feedback! Yes, I would love to support saving larger PES designs, unfortunately I miss some internal details and PES v1.0 is limited to 5" x 7". At StitchBuddy's website an FAQ article mentions potential bypasses ... at least for single files.
Amazing software and customer service!
Downloaded this software and bought all the upgrades - incredibly useful. Had to email the developer on several occasions with an issue, which ended up being not an easy fix. After a month the app was updated with a fix that solved my issue straight away. Could not recommend this app highly enough. Thank you Matthias!
Developer Response ,
Cheers ☺️
Fab app...Brilliant customer service!
The app is great although because I'm using the free version, when I had a question I wasn't that hopeful in getting a response when I emailed. How wrong was I! Within 10mins I had an email back explaining how to achieve what I wanted - brilliant customer service on a free app! May well upgrade :)
