User Reviews

Stitchly is praised for being easy to use, a value-packed one-time purchase, and strong pattern design with exports and planning tools. Users also like cross-device support and Apple Pencil use. Common drawbacks focus on color library limitations and inconsistent color matching, no cloud sync across devices, and missing essential design features (layers, shapes). Overall, it’s a powerful, user-friendly app that could be even better with expanded color options and sync capabilities.

Pros

Very easy to use and intuitive interface.
One-time purchase with strong value; no ongoing subscription.
Powerful pattern design and digitizing tools with image-to-pattern capability and exports (PDF/PNG).
Cross-device compatibility (iPhone/iPad/Mac) and Apple Pencil support for drawing.
Helpful planning and output features, including a shopping list of required threads and easy printing/export.

Cons

Color palette/library is limited and colors may not match real-world DMC/fiber options; requests for more brands and color books.
Lacks cloud sync across devices; progress and patterns are stored locally.
Missing core design tools like layers and basic shapes; drawing shapes and resizing could be improved.

I love this app. My favorite feature by far is when you can select the colors you don’t want. But before you do, you can see where that particular color is on the chart which helps determine if you can get away with not having that color or not. I already have a program on the computer which I have had for years and done loads of charts/cross stitch on there. I have to say this app surpasses that easily! The fact that you can upgrade to the paid version for one price and not have a subscription is the best!

I’m really enjoying this app, but there are a few improvements I would make if possible. One simple one would be to “highlight” everything of a single color when I choose that color, especially when importing a photo. It would make it far easier to determine if a color should be eliminated. Occasionally there are only a few stitches in that color but they are really important to the stitch out (highlights in eyes comes to mind).
