Cross Stitch Saga vs Cross Stitch Color by Number

An honest comparison based on real user reviews. Both are popular Cross Stitch Coach apps — but which one do users complain about less?

Cross Stitch Saga

Main Weakness

Incompatible with standard pattern formats and major designers

"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"
"Doesn't work with Modern Folk Embroidery, Witchy Stitcher or HAED. Not one of my cross stitch charts I own will load into this app"

Cross Stitch Color by Number

Main Weakness

Critical viewport navigation bug introduced in recent update

"After the last bug fix, when you select a color/number the picture moves to the opposite side of the area I am working on"
"the page is jumping all over and I have to keep trying to go back to where I was"
