STITCH THE CHARTS YOU ALREADY OWN
Your cross stitch charts, from any designer, in one digital workspace.

I’ve been using this app for several years, ever since the cross stitch bug hit me. It is straightforward to upload patterns, easy to mark them up and provides that sharp dopamine rush as you see the % completed creep upwards. The only fly in this wonderful ointment is what’s missing. I really wish there was some way to take the floss lists from more than one pattern and turn it into a consolidated shopping list. Basically I want the features I’m used to from the inventory management systems of manufacturing companies in the app I use for my hobby. I said it was a wish, but a girl can dream…. I only put this here because the app is very good at interpreting a variety of formats of floss lists and keys from the patterns uploaded. And it is simple to change one colour for another, if you want to.
Brilliant app and fantastic support service

I’ve been using the app for several years now and it’s been great for keeping track of progress on my projects and I couldn’t imagine going back to the old pencil and paper method - particularly for more complex designs. There’s a substantial collection of videos giving advice on hints and tips of using the app. I’ve also recently had a particularly tricky pattern that I just couldn’t get set up right and reached out via the website for additional support. Had a response within a day with detailed advice on how to get my pattern set up correctly. This advice worked a treat and I’m now ready to get started on my latest project!
Wouldn’t Go Without

I cannot imagine stitching without Markup RXP at this point, it makes following patterns so easy! I‘ve used a range of patterns from different sources and have not had many issues at all. And when I did have an issue James was extremely fast in helping me, and it turned out the issue was with the pattern rather than the software. I also love the feature that it tells you an estimated finish date, even if that’s something many stitchers might not be ready to confront 😆.
Good, not great

This is an “ok” app for cross stitching. Yes, you can mark off the stitches you’ve done, but it’s missing some key functionality.1) You can’t use gestures. If you’re in “markup” mode, you can’t use two fingers to move the pattern. You have to swap modes. If you forget, you end up either marking or unmarking lots of stitches. Frustrating!2) You can’t upload parts of patterns or progress with existing patterns, for example with a stitch along. You should be able to export progress and apply it to a new file, or apply a new file to an existing one.3) It doesn’t support back stitch, French knots, half stitches, and cross stitches with different thread counts, all of which are very common.There are other things too… but for me those are the most frustrating.It does a basic job for a simple PDF pattern, but if I have the choice I prefer to convert my files and use another app with a four letter name. I really hope the Markup RXP team or developer finds some time to make some changes and improve some of this basic functionality. It has a LOT of potential, but feels like it’s an alpha build rather than a full release.
