Design for Cricut Space ‪‎‬ 4+

There are a lot of things to love about Cricut Design Space if you are a creative person, however updates can take an extremely long time. I have not found a way to opt out of them in order to work on your project at that time and then run the update at later.

I used to LOVE my Cricut, but at this point looking at possibly selling it or just donating it to my local Goodwill store. I originally signed up for a lifetime membership and used it for several years. Iwas sick over most of the fall and winter of 2022 and used it very little. When I tried to log in today, January, 2023 Cricut wouldnt open on my MacBook Pro like usual. After following directions to delete Cricut and download and reinstall, I can now open it but NOTHING from years of use are available to me!!! All my previous work apprears to be lost and they want me to purchase yet another package in order to be able to use Design Space. I am beyond heartbroken!! WTH is going on? I thought updates were supposed to be helpful, not disable you from accessing all that you have created before! I am done with you Cricut, if you cannot repair this situation!

This app was embedded into the real Cricut design space somehow that I thought it was a needed upgrade. Ended up erasing the other app, and it displayed an identical icon to Cricut (different than the one displayed on here). This app doesn't do much at all except offer some clip art I guess. It is very simplistic and not at all what I thought it was. It caused me a few hours of wasted time panicking I had lost all my projects from Cricut design space. I even clicked to subscribe to the free trial of the "pro" version to try and get to the regular features. Luckily I didn't pay for anything and was able to cancel it before it automatically renewed and would have charged me. I'm not usually so gullible with these kinds of things, but this one really caught me off guard . Super deceitful.
