Sewing Pattern Buddy

★★★★★ I've been using this app for about a year I guess, on and off because I'm busy, and I really like it. I liked it enough to buy the upgrade so I can store all of my patterns, because to me it is worth $4.99 to not keep buying the same ones by mistake! Also so I can easily carry around my yardage requirements without having to worry about losing my pattern or writing something down wrong. I especially like that when I emailed the maker with a problem, I got a very prompt response, and on a holiday too! I never expected that. I only wish that there were a way to enter the patterns more easily, such as scanning barcodes or entering the company and number. It is pretty time consuming to enter patterns this way and I know I would be sooooo much further into my cataloging if I did not have to take all of the photos and fill in all of the information while our little girl begs for me to hurry up so we can play. My other wish is that there was room for lining fabric, secondary fabric, etc as well as more slots for measurements as some of us don't fit into any size perfectly. Some of us really need both waist and hip, for instance. Still though, a great app :)

★★★★★ This is almost exactly what I was looking for. There's a few things I would do differently, like have an option for One Size, and S/M/L/XL. Also, the patterns are focused on clothing only, so the sizes only have body measurements. I have hat patterns with head measurements, and nowhere to put them in the Size category. The search function for the tags is very precise. I have 3 "vintage look" patterns and 4 "vintage" patterns. Searching for "vintage" should bring up 7 patterns, but if I accidentally put in a space after vintage it will only bring up 3. It found what I asked for, exactly, with no wiggle room. It would be nice to have options for yardages for more than one "view," since most patterns include more than one item, when you input the yardage, yardage for *what?* The pants, the blouse, the vest? If it's a wardrobe pattern, in particular, that could get confusing in a hurry. Overall, though, I think the 25 free patterns, getting them put in to see how it works was more than enough to convince me to upgrade to the paid version. It will pay for itself by avoiding rebuying patterns.

★★★★★ Great app. Will be able to make choices about what to make much more easily! As others have said would be good to have sections for different views and for second fabric and notions

★★☆☆☆ Only able to upload 25 patterns and have to pay .99 per additional 20 patterns uploaded. Not worth downloading if you have alot of patterns

★★☆☆☆ I used this app successfully on my old oppo phone, I have uploaded 230 patterns. But so disappointed now that i have upgraded to a new oppo phone and the app wont open. Will have to start again with a different app, hours of wasted time.
