App Profile: Silhouette Go

I’ve used both Cricut and Silhouette products and by far the mobile app for cricut is much easier. I love that in Silhouette you can import photos but selecting the areas I want to cut is just not where it should be. My app crashes a lot too and never stays logged in. It does its job of cutting simple things like text but more than that you’re out of luck. They should put more effort into improving the app because the machine itself is great! Hope they can work on bringing this app to the modern age

I have used Silhouette products for about ten years. I’ve always liked how easily I could design and cut things out using the full program, Silhouette Studio, so I thought I would try Silhouette Go for the iPad. It took me a good four hours to cut out a simple script font. I had to go back and forth from iPad to Mac to take the design I made, convert it to an SVG, upload it to the Silhouette Library directly, make cut lines, and then use the app to cut it (my Mac would not connect to my machine at the time). It was a very frustrating process. I really can’t see myself using my Silhouette much if I have to go from Mac to iPad all the time… I have regrets that I didn’t buy a cutting machine that had better cut programs with it. :( If developers are reading this - please consider adding the trace function to the app. That would have saved me an inordinate amount of time. The basic functionality of adding type/font would be nice too.

This app helps me literally do nothing! This is not a very in-depth way to design and cut. I guess this app is basically just for designs that you want to purchase and cut from the app, because trying to design your own photos and files to cut, this is absolutely terrible. I thought the silhouette cameo was a high-end product which is why I purchased it, but this app is’s for a kindergartener. Silhouette if you are seeing this review, you need to do better! This app needs to be redesigned. It would be great if you can get all of the same features from the actual desktop program and fit it into the app. If you can fit all of those features in it I’m pretty sure all of us silhouette users wouldn’t mind paying a couple bucks for the app to get the whole program. Just food for thought. Also I paid for the whole business edition programming for my desktop so that would be nice for it to identify my account when signing in and give me all of those features.
