User Reviews

Users praise PieceWork Magazine for its rich textile content and patterns, and its lower cost compared with print back issues. However, multiple reviews report critical stability and data issues: purchases and subscriptions not being recognized after updates or device changes, lost access to bought content, and difficulty downloading, offline viewing, printing, or locating downloaded issues. The app also suffers from crashes, slow or missing restoration indicators, and weak customer support or guidance. Some users cite compatibility problems (iPad-only despite claims) and misleading pricing. Overall, content quality is strong, but app reliability and account management need urgent fixes.

Pros

Wonderful access to textile information, history, and patterns.
Rich, historical stitching content and patterns.
Digital subscription is cheaper than buying hard copies.

Cons

Purchases or subscriptions are not recognized after updates or on different devices, leading to data loss.
App crashes on startup or during use.
Cannot download, save, print, or access content offline.
Weak customer support and incorrect or absent guidance.
Device compatibility issues and cross-device subscription problems (iPad‑only despite claims).

I had to reinstall the app after all the updates and lost all my purchases. It didn’t recognize my account and I have not changed my information for this account since I got it over 20 years ago. I finally have the time to make the things in the magazines I purchased, but now I can’t even do that because everything has been deleted. Happy retirement to me. I will NOT be purchasing them again.

Can’t open this app, it immediately crashes. I tried killing all apps and restarting the iPad, but that didn’t help.
