User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars misleading
I bought this software on the internet. I only own 5 cricut cartriges, and was interested in the ‘welding’ option that you can use when working with fonts. After many attempts at installation and updating, and 2 calls to the cricut hotline I finally installed the program and began using it. I found that the characters, while you can weld them together on your screen are still cut apart when you send the design to the cricut to cut. I am very dissapointed in this software as well as in the instruction manual and the sarcastic customer service reps. while I love my machine and the cartriges, I do not feel that I am gaining any special or very useable features with this software.

5 Stars Cricut DesignStudio
Really neato! Fun to use with the Cricut Expression. Can do all kinds of projects with this product.

5 Stars Cricut Design Studio
This is a MUST HAVE to go with your Cricut. This significantly increases your options with any cartridge. You can place one object inside of another or weld them together so you can design a verse that is all one piece of paper that you can use over and over as well as email it to others to use. You lay your design out on a grid so you know exactly where it is going to cut. Because you can only load the program onto one computer, I put it on my laptop that I keep next to my Cricut Expression as well as a printer and all of my other stamping and paper supplies and can take it along to scrap booking retreats.

5 Stars FABULOUS
You need to be a smart consumer, know that PC is not going to sell all of thier images for 70$ Those who feel ripped off should learn to read better. It says it allows it not that you can cut everything! Learn about the cricut and cartridges first don’t jump on the band wagon and get all pissy that you didn’t understand! GEEEZ people!

5 Stars Design Studio is a MUST HAVE
Design Studio is a “must have” unless you are content just cutting out shapes. DS allows you to weld shapes together and create custom cards, and hundreds of other projects. There is an army of people on the chat at cricut.com that can help with any problem 24/7. Read through the community topics before buying and I bet you will buy it faster!
