So good for fair isle patterning
I'm loving this app! It really enables me to put my own des guns on to a blank canvas!
Really frustrating to use
This lacks the usability that I'd expect for a paid app: swapping colours is frustrating as you have to confirm every time; zooming is clunky and often leads to ruining your work ; there is no undo and no way to easily export to the phone. Really disappointed
Good effort, not quite there yet
I love the idea. However..
1. To copy and paste a repeating section of your pattern, you literally have to click every single square to select it, which is extremely time consuming. You need a "grab" function for users to draw around the multiple squares they would like to copy.
2. There are no stitch labels to indicate what type of stitch you are drawing. This app won't help you write patterns without any standard stitch labels. Is it a crochet pattern? Knitting? Beads? Is this a single crochet stitch or a knit stitch or a purl?
3. The color selection panel is painful. It needs a quick select function. Every single time you want to change colors, it bops up and asks you to refine the color you want, also wasting time....

This app is a godsend
I wanted to start creating my own designs (lettering, symbols, images) and was looking for the right app. This is it! It enables one to see how a pattern you create will look in whatever color yarn you want to work with. You can create the perfect balance of color and see INSTANTLY how it changes the look of your pattern. It has features to create different sizes and print them or share them. There is a mode where you see your pattern as knit which is also helpful. Works very well on my iPad. Well supported app. Had a question on a feature and Stefan got back to me right away. Well worth the price.

Excellent App
Great for designing fair isle sweaters and blankets. Would like to be able to insert rows when creating a chart though
Excellent for colour charting
The best colour charting app I've used and adequate for lace charts but lacking in the symbols. I really want cable symbols that stretch over multiple stitches! I've had no issues saving the charts, I've never had part of the image cut off. Very good app just needs a few extra things to make it perfect.

Excellent app
Nice app
Just Ok
Pretty good for designing the actual pattern but terrible once you're done and want to use it. Tried to open with iBooks and half gets cut off, tried saving as a picture and the same happened. Turned out to be a waste of money.
Not too functional
I need to do crochet charts and this seemed to be it. It has symbols ... YAY! But little functionality. Created chart and tried to print, but got message that there were too few stitches... Added another row.... Was able to print, but got vertical columns... Not rows needed. My search continues.
Nice Little App
I knit and I do bead weaving and chose this app to design some earrings. I like that the toggle bead mode is available for this especially for brick stitch. I would say it is perfect for me for knitting patterns and less complex beading patterns as the palette is limited. The app creator Stefan has been awesome with quick feedback response and help!! This is a nice little app. As a technical writer, I would like to see more in the How to use app area, but luckily, Stefan is willing to help. And I have been using it steadily for the last day or so and no crashes.
