## Review summary

Most reviews describe a predatory paywall with hidden charges and refund problems. Core design features are gated behind subscriptions, with limited projects and no export capability. Users also report connectivity issues with cutting devices, unreliable content playback, and poor support. A minority express initial excitement, but overall sentiment is strongly negative.

### Pros

- Free trial option is available (appears in multiple reviews).
- The app is marketed as a design tool for crafting and cutting-machine projects.
- Some users reported initial excitement about trying the app.

### Cons

- Billing and pricing confusion: charges after free trials, unclear pricing, and cancellation issues.
- Core design features require a subscription and are limited or non-exportable; users report few project options and inability to export cut files.
- Device connectivity issues (e.g., inability to connect to Cricut Explore Air 2) and general integration problems.
- Poor customer support and refunds: hard to contact, refunds not issued, with some reviewers labeling it scam-like behavior.
- Reliability and usability problems: app crashes or fails to load content, logs out frequently, and videos not playable.
