Version 1.1

Bodkin now works on iPhone Duo

Stitch on the big inner screen or the outer one, in any orientation. Half-fold it like a book and the controls sit on the left with your canvas on the right, clear of the fold, and your gallery spreads across both sides.

Smoother stitching

  • New Even Tension option: turn it on under Hand-Stitched and every stitch comes out just right, so your work looks even while you get the feel of the pull.
  • Just-right tension is easier to hit when you hand stitch with a finger.
  • Slimmer tent stitches with tapered ends that look more like wool.
  • Mosaic, Scotch and Smyrna stitches now compensate at the edges of a shape, the way you would on real canvas.
  • When you’re zoomed in close, new stitches appear right away, and old ones no longer peek through after a fill, undo or pan.
  • No more flickering shadows when you stitch over or next to another stitch.

New canvases

  • Winter holidays: wreath, snowflake and cardinal ornaments, a gingerbread man, nutcracker, dreidel, menorah, snowman and cozy mittens.
  • Dogs: Yellow, Black and Chocolate Labs, a Golden Retriever, a Dachshund and a French Bulldog.
  • Patterns: Houndstooth, Preppy Stripes and Hungarian Point.

Easier for everyone

  • VoiceOver can now stitch the canvas, fill in every spot of a color, read each skein’s progress and tell you when a color is finished.
  • Clearer text that also responds to Increase Contrast, bigger tap targets, and more icons that grow with your text size.
  • Reduce Motion, Smart Invert and Voice Control are supported throughout.
  • Haptics have their own switch in canvas settings, separate from Sounds.
  • Undo and redo with Command-Z and Shift-Command-Z on a keyboard.
