Does anyone know of cross-stitch pattern apps for I pad

I’ve been completing counted cross stitch large kits for a couple of years now and enjoying it, but fancy a bit more of a challenge. I’ve recently seen on social media cross stitch pictures which are really detailed, almost photographic. Are there any programmes or apps that can convert a photo into a pattern ? I do have a laptop but tend to use an I pad more . Thank you !

There’s one called mobistitch that allows you to import images and turn them into grids, and another called magic needle, but I don’t have any experience with either one I’m afraid.

I've used pic2pat successfully but I adjusted/reduced the colours a little using a DMC swatch colour chart for reference.

The swatch chart is a good investment if you want to create your own patterns like this and/or use cheaper flosses than DMC, Anchor, etc.
