  • Room for improvement

    This does seem to be the best pattern charting app available, but there is room for improvement. I like the ability of this app to make color charts and even show the pattern in stitches, but there are some functions that could be better.
    1-It would be nice if you could set the pattern area to a set number of cells
    2- that you could change the orientation (ie which corner row 1, column 1 is)
    3-Change the screen orientation to landscape or portrait.
    4- draw boxes/borders around groups of cells as for a repeat portion
    5- selecting for copying and pasting could be easier. Instead of having to touch every box you want to copy, the ability to drag a selection from corner to corner.
    6- It would be nice to have other symbols besides a color square, even just text characters, dots or slashes would be helpful.

  • This app has potential, but not there yet

    I recently purchased this app, as it appeared to be the best option for pattern design in the App Store. Once I started using it, I discovered its limitations. The app does not allow you to set the number of stitches you want in your pattern grid, which makes it virtually useless for me. The available pattern grid in the app is entirely too small. It seems to be meant for small, repetitive patterns, not for larger intarsia design. I hope the app designers address this flaw and issue an update -- because the app certainly does have potential.

  • I like it

    This is a simple app that does exactly what it says it does: allows you to make color charts, save the charts, and reload them. You can also upload an image if you want to start your chart from a photo. In-app printing would be nice, but you can save the chart to your photo app and print from there.

  • Like it!

    This is a really easy, useful app for a beginner pattern-maker like me. I don't care much for the black background and the squares are a little small, but I love being able to pull colors from my pictures! It helps me visualize what the pattern will look like when it's knit. Great app!
