User Reviews

Overall, users praise Dotterly for being easy to use and feature-rich, with strong photo-to-pattern capabilities, extensive palettes, and flexible design tools. The top drawbacks are color mapping limitations (too few colors relative to available options) that affect quality, reliability issues (bugs like file renaming overwriting, color-picker prompts, and clipboard errors), and pricing concerns tied to perceived value and price hikes. Some request improvements like zoom-in previews, layers, better printing options. Despite these, many consider it a game changer for diamond painting pattern creation.

Pros

Easy to use with a powerful pattern creation flow, including photo-to-pattern conversion, editing tools, and a helpful wizard.
Rich color/palette management with multiple brands and custom palettes, color counts, and color swaps.
Comprehensive design tools and pattern options (grid types, drill types, cropping, text, copy/paste, print-ready color numbers/symbols).
Described by users as a game changer for pattern creation and diamond painting.

Cons

Color mapping is limited to around 276 colors, leading to poorer pattern quality despite more colors being available.
Bugs and reliability issues reported (renaming overwriting files, repeated color-picker prompts, and paste/clipboard errors).
Pricing concerns due to price increases and perceived value.
Preview/UX limitations such as lack of zoom before pattern generation and intrusive hints.

Recent reviews

I HATE that I cannot zoom into the generated image before creating patterns. I’m not able to see details when choosing size, brightness, contrast, color count, etc. I also hate all the annoying hints/tips that pop up while trying to use the software. Lastly, it keeps doing a poor job of mapping my photo, looking very pixelated (at 24”x26” size even) due to insisting on not using more than 276 colors even though there are over 440 DMC colors available. I paid to unlock the software’s advanced features, but they don’t help with creating a better pattern.

This app and its various features are great! What would really bring it to the next level would be the ability to work in layers. I hope to see this feature added in an update. :) Thank you for this great app!

Love the app! Easy to use with fantastic features. 🙂 I have 3 issues: 1. I do not do social media so I have to use the review in App Store. Maybe provide an email address for questions not answered by FAQ. 2. Please consider a way to sort current colors by “symbol” order. 3. Please consider adding a way to include (color key) to margins for professional printing. Thank you for creating an amazing application for diamonds painting enthusiasts.
