Don't waste your time

The app used to work, now it doesn't.

I'm on an island!

As stated previously, it takes you to an island in the Atlantic... Don't see any yarn shops on the island, either..

Worthless

Couldn't find a single shop. The app starts in some island in the middle of the ocean, despite the location (I tried city, state, and zip - together and individually). When I press the location services icon it brings me to my house, but show no shops in my area, even though I know of at least 3. I even tried Manhattan, and while I saw restaurants and landmarks, no needlecraft shops, even the ones I know are there. What is the app supposed to do? All it seems to be is a rather basic map. I deleted it.

Used to work :-(

I don't know what's happened. This used to be a fabulous app (June 2014). I am getting ready to travel again and tried this out for our destination and it's blank. Hope they fix this soon!! No way to contact anyone.

App fails to work, No help features

We have used the Needle Travel books for the past several years and were excited to see that there was now an app. However, if appears the app is not working. No results are returned, even when using a zip code and/or city state combination where shops are located. All mileage ranges were tested, 10-100 miles. The app also sends us to some place in the Atlantic Ocean (Falkland Islands)? I also looked for a help feature to see if this was an issue with what I was doing, but it appears the app lacks this feature. I am hoping these issues are resolved in the future.

Doesn't work at all!

This app doesn't work at all! It locates me in the ocean near Mauritania and it won't search at all. Nothing happens at all after you put in the parameters. Sounded good in Vogue Knitting, but turned out to be too good to be true!

Awesome app!!

This app has helped me so much!! I'm constantly using it anytime I travel!

Published too soon? Resource database rattles like a can with two beans.

As another reviewer said, too poorly populated to be of use, only some of what is there is wrong. Where's the user base interface for adding, correcting, updating information?

Poorly populated

While the idea behind this app is a great idea, The reality is poor. Well other apps give users the opportunity to submit updates, changes, closed shops; this app has no such feature. Developers are missing an excellent resource by not providing users with these options. I'm removing this app from my phone, I'm going back to using my Yarn Places app. I may check back to see if options for users are updated, but I'm not holding my breath.
