chart files, a file format specifically made for the app. But there is one big issue, and that’s its dependency on. The new app from Ursa software (the makers of WinStitch and MacStitch) is a dream to us and is the ONLY app on this list specifically made for the purpose. However with more and more bugs being reported, with no customer service, and a VERY questionable set of permissions required to use, it’s no longer as good as it once was.Ĭross Stitch Markup (FREE) – 9/10 Based on 78 reviews

You can undo incorrect markups, even if they were from weeks previous, and the app saves as you go, meaning no mistake app closing losing your work. It’s lightweight (doesn’t take up too much space on your tablet/phone), can open any pdf with ease, and its mark up tools appear to be designed especially for cross stitch. It still works, its free, and its great at opening any PDF, however, the app is considerably larger than the alternatives, and it’s just not as good on our tests.ĮzPDF ($4) – 4/10 Based on 25,800 reviewsįrankly, ezPDF has everything you want from a markup app. PatternKeeper appears to be much more favoured by cross stitchers, but R-XP has a great set of tools which most prefer if they give it a try.įoxit (FREE) – 8/10 Based on 179,000 reviewsįoxit is a great app for editing pdfs on the go, however, it’s built with that purpose, and therefore doesn’t easily control cross stitch markups. Our personal favorite is the pattern scanner simply take a photo of your pattern and it automatically identifies the pattern and converts it to a pattern you can mark up! They operate much like other mark-up apps, however unlike others, they offer a suite of tools that are perfect additions. Whilst Markup R-XP is a relatively new player, they have quickly shot up as a great app. Markup R-XP ($9) – 9/10 Based on 136 reviews
