This Embroidery Machine is Controlled by an App??? Brother Skitch PP1

Unboxing + testing out Brother's newest entry-level embroidery machine the Skitch PP1, which is controlled via the brand's Artspira app. It features a 4x4 magnetic hoop, free arm & an innovative design. But why did Brother manufacture this product to be entirely cloud based? And is it possible to use the embroidery machine adequately with the free version of Artspira, or is the brand trying to force customers into paying for the premium subscription Artspira+? This could be the future reality for sewing machines.
Stay tuned to the end where I share my honest first impressions of this embroidery machine.

11/15/23 UPDATE: Brother has just announced a change to the Artspira app!
"Some of the feedback around Artspira was the inability to import your own designs in the FREE version of the app.
We’ve heard from you and are actively updating Artspira to ensure all users can access this feature.
So, starting on November 30th, users of the Free version of Artspira will be allowed to import any design and store up to 20 designs in Artspira (you can add and remove the 20 designs as you wish!).
Artspira+ Subscription Plan users, the Paid version of Artspira, can store and import up to 100 designs. Basically, more storage!"
