About Cross Stitch Saga
The application produces an interactive cross-stitch pattern from source files:
• XSD — Pattern Maker v. 4
• XSP — XSPro Platinum
• PAT — PC Stitch v. 6-10
• OXS — MacStitch
• The interactive pattern format SAGA is being distributed by embroidery pattern designers and embroidery kit manufacturers.
The application opens up patterns of various sizes and complexity, which use: cross, half-cross, quarter-cross, petit, oblong, backstitch, longstitch, french knot, decorative stitches, beads.
The application is suitable for various cross-stitching methods: "by colors", for all types of "parking", for complex patterns with backstitch, etc. To help the cross-stitcher: multi-isolation, link strands, mark mask, restricting areas, as well as jump automation between colors after marking.
The application keeps a detailed calendar of cross-stitching, sprints timing and marking and goals for your pattern marks.
The application works in landscape and portrait orientation, supports Split View mode, dark and light interface themes.
The application has a user-friendly ergonomic interface with the ability to customize the location of toolbars and the visibility of buttons. To call up additional settings for any tool, long press its icon.

waste of time & money
if you buy patterns off etsy, don’t use this app. 99% of sellers don’t give you the file types this app offers because svg and pdf are standard. converting them to the files this app requires is impossible. don’t waste 14$ on an app that is very specific on what it requires (which is files you can’t convert) update: and when you give a review they get rude. definitely don’t waste your money, use a better app than this one with nicer developers! :)

An extraordinarily well designed app
I got this app because I love stitching Owl Forest designs which aren’t fully compatible with the other markup apps and this app is designed for use with SAGA files. It’s a brilliant app that makes following a pattern so much easier and more enjoyable. It’s elegant and easy to use at its basic level and there are loads of customization options to make following the pattern easier for one’s individual style. Probably the most challenging aspect of it is just getting a handle on all the options. Documentation is good, although the descriptions of the different tools and their options are so succinct that I found it hard to keep track of everything. There are links to video tutorials, but they too are short and with no verbal explanation so they can be difficult to follow. Read the developer’s description thoroughly before purchasing. This app does NOT support the importing of PDF’s — you must have one of the file formats she notes in the description. This is not an app for designing — it is a markup and tracking app to make the stitching process simpler and that it does better than any other markup app for either iOS or Android.
