Terms of Use

Markstitch for iPhone and iPad · Effective 14 November 2026

Who these terms are with

Markstitch is provided by Serigzhan Naviy, an individual entrepreneur in Astana, Kazakhstan, publishing as Appaq Labs (“we”, “us”). By using the app you agree to these terms. If you got the app from the App Store, Apple’s Standard License Agreement applies as well; where the two differ, Apple’s agreement wins.

Your patterns

Markstitch opens PDF patterns you bring to it. It does not sell, provide or share patterns. Use it only with patterns you bought, made or otherwise have the right to use. Patterns remain the work of their designers: opening one in Markstitch doesn’t give you any new rights to copy or share it.

Free pattern and the unlock

You can stitch your first pattern free, with no time limit. The unlock is a one-time, non-consumable purchase through the App Store that adds unlimited patterns and the features listed in the app. It is not a subscription and nothing renews. You can restore it on your other devices with the same Apple ID. Refunds are handled by Apple under its own rules.

How the app reads charts

Markstitch reads charts automatically, and PDF charts vary a lot. It may misread a symbol, a thread or a DMC number, or not recognise a chart at all. Check the threads list against your pattern’s key before you buy floss, and fix any number by hand where needed.

Your data

Your patterns and progress are stored only on your device; see the Privacy Policy. Keeping a backup is up to you: the app can save one with the unlock. We can’t recover anything lost with a device, because we never have a copy.

No warranty

The app is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we make no promise that it will be free of errors or suit every pattern, and we are not liable for indirect losses such as wasted floss or time. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law that can’t be waived.

Changes and ending

We may update the app and these terms; the current version is always on this page with its effective date. You can stop using the app at any time by deleting it.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan, unless the consumer law of the country you live in gives you a right to rely on it.
