Just some issues, but love it!

So the widget does not update the rows completed, it shows 12, but had done 40, and completed it. I market it finished, started on a new project for which I have 1 row, and it’s not showing that project. In addition, the Apple Watch will not sync my projects to it. The phone counter works just fine!

So good

This is so good i constantly forget about yarn and tools i have, ESPECIALLY when i buy new yarn i forget if i have the tools for it so this is SO incredibly helpful 10/10 will be using this for a long time

Fantastic APP

Wow. What a fantastic app. Recommended to me by my daughter. It’s so good we each bought the lifetime membership.
My stash is now ordered & catalogued in 24 boxes in an Ikea Kallax unit, with my projects kept separately, in boxes, in a bookcase.
31 projects now listed in my app, with all the info I need including the pattern information.

This is honestly the best yarn/craft app I have ever seen. So much information in one place. It’s going to make things so much easier for me and I’ll enjoy my crafting even more. I’m 56 & have been knitting/crocheting since I was 8. It’s my happy place & this app just makes it even better!

Definitely recommend x

Awesome app!

This app is great! My yarn stash is finally organized and the process was much easier than I anticipated. Adding a project is quite easy, although I've not been able to import a pattern from my Ravelry library; I'm assuming that's user error. The counters are awesome and the entire project layout is quite convenient and easy to navigate.

Amazing app

Absolutely love this app, by far the best knitting app I have found, working amazingly in the free version with the option to upgrade pro which I’m definitely considering. There seems to be a slight glitch in the app however. I struggle to tap on the yarns in my yarn stash which are on the left closest to the edge of the screen. I have no issues in that area on any other app so why am I struggling with this one?? Hopefully bug will be fixed. But generally 10/10 love it. Also unsure if I can sync my projects between multiple devices which again would be great if I could

Helpful and easy

This app is really helpful, easy to use and useful for all crochet and knitting projects! It even have a yarn conversion tool to check if some stashed yarn can be use in place of the recommended yarn from a pattern! I love that!
The stash tool is really great especially when at the store trying to buy some yarn ;-)
The only negative thing is that you can’t remove a yarn from a project once you added to the project:/
It’s a bummer if you tried a yarn and finally decided to go with another one.

Response from developer

Hi there! Thanks so much for your kind review. You *should* be able to remove yarn from a project by holding down on the name of the yarn in your project’s details and selecting “Remove Yarn” from the menu that pops up. If that’s not working right, please do let me know! (feedback@beckyhansmeyer.com) Cheers, Becky

Love this app!

This app is great for keeping track of your WIPs and your yarn stash. I love that it has multiple features that come in handy for your projects, tools, and yarn.

I would like to note that with the dark mode feature it is very difficult to see text. I’m personally an all dark mode all the time kind of person but I have to keep this app in light mode so that I can read what’s written on the page :/ not a huge problem though and it doesn’t overshadow all the excellent features this app has.

I noticed that there are several different options within the “other” tab when selecting the type of project you’re working on—I would love to see an option for tatting in there as well! My main WIP right now is a needle-tatted doily and I’ve filled out the info for it as best as I can, but I’d love to be able to accurately categorize the project itself as well as the thread and needle that I’m using :)

Almost Perfect

I love this app, but I find I cannot delete yarn from my stash which is frustrating. There is an option to remove an item from my stash, but after clicking it I am taken back to my stash list, and the item is still there. Wish I knew how to fix this because otherwise the app is great.

Very good app but could use some improvements

It needs a barcode scanner so we can just scan the info into the app allowing for faster organization and more crafting time each time I go do a yarn hull I end up having to manually put it in and that takes lots of time so a barcode scanner would be an amazing addition to this already good app

Good app most of the time

I LOVED this app. Had entered my stash, was tracking more than two dozen projects, and was pretty happy! Until I opened it this week to see NOTHING was there. No stash. No projects. Nothing. And there was no online component to reload what I lost. I’ll have to renter everything and hope it doesn’t happens again.
