    “I’ve absolutely been loving this app so far! Considering there are over 500+ DMC floss and countless other brands and specialty threads, it’s great being able to track everything I own! There’s been countless times I’ve lost track of my inventory during projects and accidentally bought more or less than I needed to, so I know this app will save me time and energy. It’s also great being able to see similar thread colors when you’re tracking, and having the pictures of the threads is also convenient to have. The Add Custom Thread option is also SO useful, especially when you can add the exact pictures of the thread color into the app itself.

    Knowing that the creators of this app are also fellow artists, I know they’ll have the best interest for their app! They know what would be missing since they experience our exact issues, so I’m looking forward to the updates to come!”

    “Chefs kiss to the people who made this app. It is AMAZING. It’s so easy to keep track of all my threads now!!!! I’ve found Threadster is so so much easier than other thread tracker apps!”

  • I'm so in love with this app!

    “I absolutely love love looove this app. There’s so many features that I just love at launch that all the other thread trackers lack. Searching for specific threads is a breeze especially with the clear button. Being able to edit multiple threads at once is an absolute marvel. The ability to see photos of the threads to verify color matching is insane. Being able to mark certain colors as being used in a project. BEING ABLE TO ADD YOUR OWN CUSTOM THREADS!!! This one takes the cake!

    I can’t get over how amazing it is to be able to add and edit my entire inventory in an instant and adding custom hand dyed threads I’ve casually been collecting. Especially being able to add a photo reference as some of the ones I have shift into very different colors. This will make it easier to pick out colors without needing to take out all my thread boxes.”

  • Easy Tracking!

    “I’ve been able to replace several tools I use with this app. The mass update feature makes adding initial inventory so easy. The app also includes a similar colors feature and has the DMC inventory with color cards extremely similar to the actual floss colors. I have found myself using the app to help select color palettes as well. I also plan to add my non-DMC inventory via the custom feature and can’t wait to try it out!”
