SewingKit HD App Reviews

I bought it because its the only app to register patterns. But half the time the barcode reader doesnt work. It shuts off often. Im trying to catalog fabric now and some of the yardage didnt save and some just dont show up on the first page. I cant change the width of fabric. I cant add a pattern company that they dont list. Some patterns they put on multiple times! I cant delete some duplicates. There are just too many bugs in this app! Some things i add with my phone dont show up on iPad and vice versa. Wish they would work on it and give good update!

Buggy app... Crashed and lost all my entered patterns... Backup and restore from Dropbox not working and gives errors...great idea but a big waste of money!

Disappointed. The app didnt sync across my devices. What use is it if I need it when Im in a fabric store and info is on my iPad, not my phon? Fabric choices were very limited. Lots of kinds of fabric not available to select. No ponte knit. No lightweight denim. I could go on. Categories are very limited. No options for crafts, quilting, holiday, home dec, doll clothes, and more missing! At least they could add the category other with a way to add categories. Also missing -- a way to specify zipper length or the size of buttons and how many are needed. Lots of kinds of interfacing, but not a way to choose the type needed for any pattern. How do I know my entries are saved? No message to suggest that the save occurred and apparently it only saves to one device. Whoever designed the database interface is not a person who sews!!!!! This app is definitely not worth buying, and I regret my purchase. It is clunky and takes too much time with very little practical use if a user cant sync the data and have it ready when needed. Waste of money.

There seems to be a category for everything you want to keep track of, and the part for keeping track of patterns is very good. But for fabrics, you have to use the choices in the pull down menu for materials, colors (very limited choices), stores (also very limited) and there are only two choices for fabric width, 45 or 60”. And the “category” area has choices for patterns, not fabrics. Also, the stretch percentage number disappears when I close the window. There needs to be some improvement here. I, like many sewers, have quite a stash of fabrics at home and being able to keep it organized in my phone would be very helpful. Once this app does everything it aims to do, it will be awesome!

I had hoped to use this app to catalog my patterns and fabrics, etc ., so that I know what I have, but this app is too limited in what you can enter. I entered a bunch of patterns and photos of them manually and now cant even access those. (Im not sure if there was an update or its just a bug -- I could see them before.) even the patterns that can get entered using the UPC code seem not to upload any info about yardage, fabric recs, etc.

Ive been sewing for 50 years and have quite a stash of patterns & fabrics. The revised app works great on my new ipad! I had it on an ipad 2 earlier and it did not work well. I guess too many links & too much data for the old ipad. I love being able to track & look up my patterns (with size, pattern envelope info & pics), fabrics (with yardage & pics), projects & people (with measurements) and link them together.

Features are getting better. But the most recent update totally borked how things appear. They’re squished, with the images especially awkward.

My patterns seem to load after typing in company name and pattern. Would be perfect if I could edit pattern categories. Current categories list seems clothing oriented. The majority of patterns I make are not clothes. Where is the pets category? Where is the home decor category?

I use this all the time. Especially useful for not buying duplicate patterns. Great for organizing Projects fabrics and equipment.

I just got this app this week, and I love that I can look at my pattern inventory while Im out to determine how much fabric I need. However, there are two things wrong with it. The photos that you take within the app dont display the way they do when you take the photo. It ends up with lots of space above and below the subject. Inexcusable. You can take a photo with your phone and upload from your library, but that makes the process more cumbersome. The second issue is that sometimes the photos dont "stick". You know you put them there, but when you pull up the pattern, theyre gone. Totally defeats the purpose of the app.

The website isnt working correctly, and technical support seems to be nonexistent

If you are like me, and you are a costumer looking for a digital way to keep measurement sheets.... This isnt it. The "People" list promised by the description has very narrow categories, mainly family members, that cant be changed or amended, so you couldnt sort by show or character name. The place to enter measurements is just a list, youd have to enter your own labels, so not much more useful than a note taking app. This might be useful for the home seamstress, hard for me to guess, but it isnt useful for costumers.
