I like it. I have EQ7 and I use it to see layout and yardages but they don't do normal piecing everything looks like a paper piece template. You stll have to know how to make the blocks tha tyou choose. it gives strange cutting instructions, I find, but it is still something I like having.
I have the apps as well for my ipad and I personally like the EQ7 better. there are more things you can do in it. its very simple to use and there are lessons online all the time on how to use the software.
