Embroidery Design Doodler 4+

I feel that in time this will be a spectacular tool. Has a learning curve, but watched the video and I understand where this is going. Patience as long as there are updates available often for IPad. The ability to try and view tutorials is valuable. Will amend when I get a hang of this and actually buy the program

It’s been 14 months since this program/app has been released and there have been several updates over the past 6-8 months which have greatly enhanced the experience of using the iPad to create embroidery designs with the artistic flair that is hard to achieve elsewhere. By simply choosing your stitch style, fill style, underlay, etc. and using the pencil or even your finger on the screen, you can easily sketch as simple or complex a design.
With the new auto-save feature, a whole new stitch engine, and almost limitless choice of stitch and motif stitches including a fully personalized option for creating Appliqué types, you’ll be designing and stitching in no time at all.
This Free App is a nice companion to the full featured Windows PC Program allowing you to sit and design anywhere, send your designed file to your PC and convert it to the file type your Embroidery machine or even Long-Arm Quilting machine. Yes, it converts to almost all long arm formats!
Within this short amount of time, and with all of the feedback, the developers have been able to get the updates synchronized between both the PC Version as well as the iPad app so that the tools and features stay the same across both platforms.
Keep in mind, this is a Companion App for the full Windows Program which is required to be able to actually convert your designs into stitch files for your machine. You cannot just create a machine file with only the iPad app.

I've been using this app now for a couple weeks on a iPad with the latest software and my PC. I have had constant freeze up and shut down problems with this app. It started with just using the reshaping tool so I stopped using it and now it does it using the tapering tool. It’s very frustrating to spend time on a project just to have all of it lost because it freezes up, there definitely needs to be a change in the software. I have been troubleshooting with the representative and neither of us can figure out what is happening. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. It just seems to make it worse. As much as I love the potential for this app, I am at the point of hanging it up. I’m giving it two stars for the potential that it has and in the effort given to try and help figure things out but unless you save repeatedly after a couple of changes to your design, which is unrealistic, you lose everything the minute it shuts down on you.
