## Review summary

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.
