Needs Update

This app has some great potential. In the future would love to see:
1. Link / import with google drive
2. Blank canvas
3. Ability to add multiple designs on one project without having to copy / paste.
4. Easier ways to add stitches (to fill gaps if needed)
5. Better organization of saved / purchased images. Maybe sizing option too.
6. Add skyline s9 to computer selection.
7. Viewable alphabet of purchased font package.
Not horrible app, but for cost would expect developer to read comments and update program as needed.

NEEDS LOTS OF WORK

It is a real shame that Janome does not offer better app support! So many problems with this app!!! Supposedly it was recently updated but now major problems getting it open and not crashing! It is a shame that Janome does not support the users as Bernina does!! Terrible since I have owned many Janome machines over the years, 15000 being the last machine I purchased but am seriously considering purchasing the Bernina which has better software and larger hoops. Really aggravated with the lack of support! I do not recommend Janome products any longer! All the ladies in my quilting and embroidery classes have questioned me about my purchase but I have been unable to express any enthusiasm over my purchase!! Also, I see there is now an App for instructional videos. I cannot trust that it is not the same caliber as the other lacking apps offered. I feel that for the money I spent, these apps should all be free to those that purchased this very expensive machine. Part of support for a product is providing instructional services so the users will be thrilled with the product! Janome has fallen short in this area!!

Embroidery Editing for my iPad!

Love being able to edit my embroidery designs when I travel.
I am really enjoying the cute new designs and the software works perfectly with my other designs stored in my Dropbox folders.
Lettering has fun fonts and is easy to use.

No new designs in the last 7 months :(

Nothing new since Sept 2015. Janine is really missing out on an opportunity with this app. Yeah, there's other apps for the iPad but I wanted something I could use on my iPhone. Oh well.

MemoryCraft 15000 owner VERY disappointed

When I was shopping for my wifi capable, seemingly Apple-friendly sewing/embroidery machine, I noticed this app “includes 650 designs.” So, where are they? Am I really supposed to sew out those cartoony critters or use the various outlines? Where do these qualify as “design”? They might more accurately qualify for a “visual annoyance” category, but not “design.” The whole process of using this app is clunky and its designers not particularly imaginative, especially in light of all the creative possibilities offered by Apple! In one word, I’d describe this app as BLAUGH! It came free with my sewing machine, but after paying a hefty 12K for the machine, Janome now expects users to rejoice over the shoddy free “designs” and shell out MORE money to be able to do lettering by purchasing a module! FAIL! Would love to see massive improvement on this app and integration with Janome’s other app, also limited, AccuEdit. WAKE UP, JANOME! When you enter the Apple kingdom, you gotta play in the world of possibilities, but you have made so much almost impossible and not user-friendly with a bunch of separate apps that seem to battle with each other. (Possible exception is AccuMonitor which is sort of handy.)

Need to update Hoop Sizes for the Janome 500E

I purchased this to use with my new Janome 500E, but they have not added the 500E hoop sizes. I think it's a good idea and hopefully they'll update it soon.

Not Working

Updated my iPad to the latest version and now nothing shows in the screen when you tap on a design. The clothes line is there but it is empty. Frustrated with the lack of updates with Janome apps.

Still needs work

They won't fix the bugs!
We were told the full version would be released which still has not happened, of the 500 designs about a 1/4 are useless as there is no lettering capabilities who wants to embroider logos and weird random words, There is no way to delete the preloaded designs so you have to weed through them forever. Still has buggy tendencies to crash. Still hopeful...that they will finish this app it has so much potential just not there.

Really.... All the designs in lettering useless without spending another 50 dollars to get the lettering app. Boo!

Very Poor Designs

Don't buy this for the designs! They are the worst collection I've ever seen, as if they're from a cheap 50's coloring book. Someone must have selected all the designs that didn't sell on various sites to make this collection. Shame on you, Janome!

Disappointed

I can not get files to upload to Airstash. I have tried DrawingsSnap which is the same program basically and it works fine. AcuDesign still has bugs. Once these are fixed I think it will be a good program. Right now it's not worth the money.

So so

I like being able to d/l designs to my iPad but still have to go into computer to send to flash drive. Also I like to have the PDF file for directions, which this doesn't give you. Not sure if it really saves any time. Maybe if you have a Janome machine that you can send designs through wifi

A little disappointed

I hesitated buying this app but decided it would be worth the price for 500 designs especially if some of the designs were the ones displayed. Don't be fooled, the pretty butterflies are not part of the package. I haven't found the functionality of the editing to be very easy but I also haven't worked with it that much yet.
