## Review summary

Users overall like the app’s concept and its photo-and-category approach, with positives around image handling, organization, readable thumbnails, and a usable free version. Recurrent downsides include stability issues, time-intensive data entry, restrictive photo cropping, lack of export/import and advanced search features, and metric-only measurements. Many want cross‑device sync, auto-fill by pattern number, and more flexible data management.

### Pros

- Strong photo management: you can capture, retake, and crop pattern images.
- Flexible organization: supports multiple categories per pattern and keeps notes.
- Helpful thumbnails improve readability, especially for aging eyes.
- Free version is usable and offers a clear path to a paid upgrade.
- Supports detailed pattern data (e.g., fabric yardage) for each entry.

### Cons

- Stability and usability issues: app crashes and some icons/helps are not intuitive.
- Data entry is time-consuming, with concerns about storing a large library and risk of losing patterns.
- Photo cropping limitations: crop box is not movable, making it hard to center and crop effectively.
- Missing export/import options and limited search capabilities: no easy export to PDF and requests for better search (e.g., by pattern number) and data import.
- Units are metric-only (cm/m) with no option to switch to feet/yards, which is inconvenient for some users.
