All about Tondo Makers

Questions

Is Tondo a subscription?

No. Start for free with the examples and one project of your own. Tondo Every Chart costs €15.99 once and adds more projects, design editing and sync. From Tondo 2.0, what you bought on one platform also unlocks the other when you sign in with your Tondo account.

Does sync work between iPhone and Android?

From Tondo 2.0, yes, for knitting and sewing projects and your stash: turn on Tondo sync with a Tondo account and Pro. Cross-stitch and embroidery projects sync through iCloud on iPhone, iPad and Mac. To move one of those to Android, share it as a Tondo file. How sync works

Do I need an account?

No. Tondo works without an account. You only need a Tondo account for a purchase on this website, Tondo sync, the community and the Ravelry connection.

Can I use my Ravelry library?
