I previously gave this 2 or 3 stars but I’m upgrading to 5. A year or so ago I had endless trouble connecting to WiFi. Even a replacement projector didn’t work. I finally set Ditto aside for months. Don’t know if bugs were fixed or my new mesh system made the difference but I now connect on the first try! I was always delighted with how Ditto patterns fit. Now I’m delighted with consistent hardware performance. Goodbye tissue paper adjustments!

I purchased the Ditto projector 3 weeks ago and the first projector would not connect to WIFI and was required to use the warranty for replacement. Received the replacement Ditto Projector and it worked for 2 days and now the App will not connect to the Ditto Projector. This was an expensive mistake. The app only works with a mobile device this was disclosed prior to purchase. You can use a laptop to login to your account, browse patterns and setup your user profile and customize sizing for patterns however you can not access the patterns or projector. While using a mobile device the work space is too small and requires splicing the pattern to cut in more than one segment. The actual projector is a piece of junk and fails all the time. Bottom line: You pay for the projector and then you must pay over retail price for the patterns or pay for the yearly subscription and you will not own the pattern, it only downloads to the ditto site not your device. Most of the patterns will not even send to the projector therefore a limitation to what you can actually make. This product is poorly made and not worth the money. Only great in theory however there are too many bugs to be worked out. And there is a no return policy.

I just got the Ditto. I use this for bag making and garments. The app is terrible, not user friendly, and the pattern instructions are seriously lacking. Who make a phone app that only works in landscape mode?!? I like using my phone, not an iPad, not my Mac. My phone! For something so expensive, you would think they would develop the app for mobile UI/UX. And the patterns instructions are not designed for mobile either. It’s not a great experience for such a niche concept. I highly recommend you get a product design team to help you improve user experience. I should be able to purchase and upload patterns and stitch them in the app, not have to go to a third party. It’s a lack planning.

I’m guessing the BYOP feature is subscription based after 5mb because you’re storing the patterns in the cloud. An attempt to justify a paid feature that should be inherently free to the device. I’d recommend allowing us to store them on whatever device the app is on free and then using the subscriptions for fabric, and patterns, and unique elements like cricut. The projector was 799 and charging for a perpetual subscription to use your own patterns with the device you already paid hundreds is tasteless and greedy. The software is fine but for principle alone it’s 3 stars for me. I was lucky enough to get mine on sale but I can see why the reputation is poor on this machine.
