Magic Cross-Stitch: Pixel Art Reviews

by TatsuhikoInoue

So, MagicCrossStitch is VERY similar to a pixel color-by-number app I used to use (probably same or similar developer). In this case, the pictures are cute, but the colors aren’t varied enough to be pretty/artistic/satisfying at the end (the pixel one did NOT have this problem.

Biggest problem for me, though, is the amount of ads you’re expected to sit through. I understand these apps aren’t free—but why do I have to watch a video between each color (on average) on pictures that have 8-10 colors (again, on average). Use banner ads, buddies. I used to LOVE apps like these, but the ad saturation is AWFUL.

I am unable again and still to collect my bonus money on magic puzzle. Down to today to collect. Have to go to other zimad site to complain. This continues to happen. Can’t even get into work on my puzzle. Please explain. Yes, I have completed the task. 30 days to collect. Down to one day to bonus. Next day try to collect and it locked up. A few days later, it unlocks and goes back to 30 to bonus. I did not receive prior bonus due to no fault of my own. Please give me my bonus on Magic Puzzle. Please advise. No response on Magic Puzzle page.

MagicCrossStitch is a lot of fun. Lots of pics, daily quests and a daily gift box. They have a daily pic but that suddenly stopped in July. There hasn’t been a marathon for almost a month. I have a picture that says I’ve completed it but it’s stuck at 98%. I’ve contacted support about it twice but it hasn’t been fixed and it’s been almost 2 months now. Whenever an app stops holding events and stops adding new content usually means MagicCrossStitch is going to be discontinued. My own lack of help from the support team doesn’t help either. I’m hoping the developers are just on vacation and we’ll start getting our marathons and daily pics back soon.

I have been trying to keep up with a picture a day but the biggest problem is the ads you have that will not go away.. I have had to quit several times because the ad stays on the screen. I was trying to catch up for the 26 th today and after an ad refusing to leave, when I finally got back to the picture the first color which was light blue and almost finished was gone. Not started. I was out of most of my bombs and so I need to start again but the ad will not leave so I quit for tonight.

I absolutely love MagicCrossStitch, but it absolutely obliterates my battery and makes my phone really hot. >.< I fell asleep one night playing it and woke up to find that my phone was lying under my arm and where MagicCrossStitch had gotten hot it literally burnt my arm… I had a blister on my arm from it. Not even kidding. Other than that, it’s a great game. More bugs need to be fixed and it would be perfect. Regarding battery life- my phone goes from 60% to 10% in less than 10 minutes….

This is the best cross stitch app I have found so far! I love the daily tasks and prizes and the tons of categories to choose from. You can even choose easy, medium or hard puzzles. The only thing I would add is a screen lock option so the screen doesn’t move when swiping your finger coloring large sections. If you add that, 5 stars for sure, but MagicCrossStitch is still my favorite!!

I really enjoy MagicCrossStitch, but I wish the three shortcut boosts at the top were in a different location. I do not use them, and it’s annoying when you zoom in and they stay on the screen. Maybe have one button on the top, that when pressed, expands into the three options. Or add an option in settings to hide the feature altogether. Also, it would be great if there was a zoom-in button with a couple pre-set magnifications. I have downloaded almost every cross stitch app, and this is my favorite so far. With these adjustments, it would be perfect!

Really love Magic Cross Stitch, play everyday. I do have a problem with the import challenge. My import never looks like a pic, so out of focus. That is a horrible challenge. Also, what is the back arrow in the upper left corner? To many extras in the field of play, needs to be hidden and a tap on like magic puzzle.
Great job, keep it up

Omg i love this game so much and I play it 24/7 It’s THE best and I really enjoy it but every time I try to use the bonus it takes all of my bonus’s and I only press it once but it’s ok😊and anyways this game is so good but maybe you try to make it better IF you want and I hope you make more games cause I admire your work
Thank you for making this game cuz i ❤️LOVE IT❤️.

I looooove MagicCrossStitch! It’s something that keeps my mind busy when I get nervous and is just over all so much fun! I love that I can choose how difficult I want the picture to be and I really love the mystery pictures! They take me out of my comfort zone and can be challenging, which is wonderful. 100% would recommend. In addition, I would really appreciate more songs added to the track to cycle through. The one that plays continuously gets super stuck in my head 😅 great song, but variety is encouraged.

I really enjoy playing this game. This sketching game helps me to think where the color blocks go. This game could be for parents who want to teach their children how to do color number sketching on a iPad or tablet. If they have one or the other. I would also like to thank you for introducing me to your sketching game. It’s pretty unique. Thanks again

In this coloring app you color squares of cross stitch. They have easy ones if you only have a short break and more difficult ones. There are about a dozen categories to choose from. The colors are nice. There are new pictures every day. I’ve gotten to the point where whenever I have some free time, this is the first app I turn to.

by Franticghost

I want more animal things and maybe some pictures from old people that were very popular everything‘s good just here are some tips number one everything is good but more animals as you can see number two people that are popular pictures number three I would like to take pictures of my things how do I do that? So if you don’t have that put that in I think that’s all you don’t have to put everything in it’s just what I want to say. Have a good day/Night🌞🌛🌑🌕🌸🌼🌻🤗this is a beautiful app five star

Great game!!! Only thing I’m not happy with is that I paid for no ads, but that pop up icon that jumps onto the screen while your working on a picture lands right where your working and sometimes you can’t avoid it. Subsequently you have to watch the add before you can continue. I paid for no ads because I don’t want to have my game interrupted.

I have loved June Crosstitch for a very long time. My mother Tommy when is very young for. I’ve been cross-section ever cents. I am now 45. I have recently been patient is at home, because I have a muscular disease called Fredericks ataxia. My sister in care of me, but in the war. Crosstitch has always been my favorite thing to do. I have many hobbies, but Crosstitch tops the list. I am very glad that I found MagicCrossStitch with my phone.

I absolutely love this game. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the daily picture section doesn’t update. Last month (September) it updated with all the pics at the end of the month. Otherwise the game is great. I would like to see more hard pictures. Just me tho.

UPDATE: gave the full 5 stars because the daily picture issue is fixed!

by Toothless71

I love MagicCrossStitch but lately since the new update it keeps crashing during a puzzle and I have to do it all over and I don’t get the bonus puzzle everyday and it is lagging. I have finished every puzzle and love coming back everyday to do the new ones but can’t finish them cause they keep crashing. Restarted my iPad to see if it helps but doesn’t. Just wanna enjoy my game again! Thanks!

OK OK, so I don’t even know where to start so I LOVE THIS GAME I’m an 9 year old on my grandfathers phone LOL but love love love this game but I think the only thing is that you should make it feel more like stitching in real life so like you know like when you stitch it has numbers wel I think it would be better to make you be able to color the wrong number and then have a tool that can remove it I think that’s the only thing to add other than that please do not change the game :)

by Notnowplzkthx

I love MagicCrossStitch, and it’s often the first one I go to when I have downtime. it’s worth it to pay the one-time fee to disable ads. the only thing I have to say about MagicCrossStitch is that sometimes I wish you could customize the highlight color to make it more distinguishable from previously filled in blocks. In terms of actual coloring, this is the smoothest and most intuitive of the color-block color by numbers apps. I genuinely play on MagicCrossStitch every day!

MagicCrossStitch is awesome but I have 1 issue. My issue is that whenever you create your own art like to take a picture or import a picture, it doesn’t have the same color. Like I imported a picture of some lips, all the white in the picture, was light pink and it just looks weird. But other than that, MagicCrossStitch is awesome and I don’t have any other issues with MagicCrossStitch.

My first try was a difficult picture which froze about 10 times. I still enjoyed it enough to try a second picture. I completed colors 1 thru 9 and MagicCrossStitch didn’t just freeze but it closed. When I was able to reopen MagicCrossStitch my incomplete cross-stitch was there but none of my work had been saved.

by Spat*mor40

I usually love cross stitch puzzle apps but not MagicCrossStitch. I colored 2 hidden pictures but only got credit for one. I also colored 9 out of 10 animal pictures but only got credit for five. If I am not getting credit for all pictures done then what’s the point.

If this is changes then I will change my rating otherwise it’s really pointless to do all that work and not get the promised rewards.

by Say Duck

I haven’t been able to finish one picture because it keeps cutting out. I have to go back to my desk top and start again. I can’t do that anymore. Also, when I try to swipe the letters the whole page moves. Very irritating! And if I accidentally touch a thing at the top of the page it thinks I want to use that feature, but I don’t. I don’t like the things around the screen that takes me somewhere else, like an ad. Please fix.

by Cerrydwen

I love coloring these in, especially the more detailed ones! My only wish is that you would add more of the hard level ones. Many of the pictures are cute and easy, when I would prefer more of the artistic ones. Maybe a fine arts category where we can color some of the old masterpieces.

I have enjoyed playing this. It relaxes me and helps me to de-stress after a hard day at work.
I have completed all of the available pictures and now I wait for the hidden pictures and occasional new pictures. I thought purchasing the subscription would let me enjoy completing more pictures that were only available to members. The only thing that I got was unlimited imports. That was disappointing. I also thought that I would get the daily picture to complete the daily picture achievement. I did not get that either.
I wish there were more pictures available. I like to complete all of the achievements.

by Shameless123789

I really like this game. It’s addicting. 😃. It drains my battery on my tablet. I wish there was a way for the pictures to lock in place. The last one is I think there should be a way to turn it on it’s side. It would be much easier to work the picture. I can only play for awhile because it drains my battery. Overall, it is a fun game. It’s very relaxing.

by Suz Holly

I wish there would be more new hard choices

Love the ones that are there, but it is my 5th time doing all the options

by Make A Cupcake

I think this deserves a lot of love and good ratings. I love the game enough to play it wherever I go and I just believe I will enjoy it oh and also can we get some updates? Because I would like that also hope you get this soon love MagicCrossStitch thanks

by Pattyj420

I have spent hours playing this game. It is so relaxing after a stressful day. There are a lot of pictures to choose from. I can’t find the pictures for the achievements “Die Hard”. Any help would be great.

Can you please tell me which pictures are for the achievement “Die Hard”?

by Noinapppurchasesallowed

I like this game a lot. I just have an idea here. If you have time left on the magnifying glass tool, it could be added to the time you get for the next time you use it.
