This along with the machine is draconian. No light my hand cannot comfortably fit under the machine to raise the pressure foot I gave been trying to initialise the machine for a month now it is the same as lemonused cars. A to rip off. Does nit work is really clunky nit to talk about reverting yo Japanese characters. A huge wSte of space. Ut I suppose rhe plastic. Could be melted down yo make prosthetics. At lest it would provide a useful device.

I'm surprised by the negative reviews. I'm not someone with extensive tech knowledge, though I do use this app with my embroidery machine and don't generally have a problem. You are able to add whatever designs you want into the app, so I will either buy or download free ones and then add it to the app. It works best when near my wireless internet, so I use it in the rooms that are closer. It does what it's supposed to do.

App keeps crashing, won't connect to Dropbox. I keep getting an error message telling me to update the app when the developers fix the bug.

First time embroidery machine. I love my machine and it works well. occasionally it jams but while talking to my friends that have other machines theirs's do also. Although the patterns that came with it are limited I have found a couple of site on line that I love and the patterns are very cheap and download easy. I am still trying to figure out how to use it with my laptop since I have a program to convert a picture to embroidery pattern.

I have had this machine for months and note used it....this software is so clunky and not user friendly. I have been on you tube to work it out and most of the functions they talk about aren't available on this app. HATE IT!

it was a bit to figure this app out. but once you are conencted and it is working it works great. i wish they had an app for the computer rather than the phone. its hard to see computer would be better

Have just started to use the machine. Have not had any problems so far. (dont realy expect to) As far as the designs go, yes a bit limited. Finding it a bit difficult to change designs and send to machine, not the easiest app to use. Am still trying to import new designs but no luck so far. As far as a rating ....well .... 8/10

Its only usefulness is that you need to have it to use the machine. It's out-dated, difficult to use and clunky as heck. It's frozen multiple times while I've tried to edit a pattern. Get someone in to upgrade your app FFS!

It feels like an app that would be current if were 2009. It's very clunky and not user friendly at all. I've managed to get my way around it okay, but I'm a 35 year old guy with decent tech knowledge. I feel incredibly sorry for anyone not used to dealing with frustrating technologies or outdated user interfaces. Come on Elna/Janome, get your act together! 2 stars for the basic fact that I can get a custom design to work on my Air Artist.

Started crashing and never worked after that on my Samsung. Tried unistalling, deleting apps to make more space on the phone etc. Nothing worked! And the machine is useless without the app!
