## Review summary

ThreadBook is highly praised for inventory management across many brands, strong color matching, and built-in shopping lists that help with purchases. Users also value quick, helpful customer support and ongoing brand updates that expand the library. However, repeated drawbacks include a steep learning curve and usability challenges, difficulty adding or correcting threads (including single-thread edits), and gaps in the brand/color database with missing popular brands. Some users experience crashes or data loss and question value for money when key features or brands are absent. Overall, it’s very useful for serious projects, but needs improvements for broader adoption.

### Pros

- Comprehensive inventory/tracking across many thread brands
- Excellent color matching and cross-brand color reference
- Built-in shopping lists and easy organization for purchases
- Responsive customer support and frequent updates/bug fixes
- Broad, expanding library of thread brands with ongoing updates

### Cons

- Steep learning curve and usability can be hard to figure out
- Difficulty adding or correcting threads; cannot easily add single threads or correct entries
- Incomplete brand library with missing popular brands and colors
- Stability and data reliability issues, including occasional crashes or data loss
- Perceived poor value for money due to missing features and brand gaps
