Keeps Crashing

I’ve had this on my iPad for ages but never really used it up until now. I’m adding my needles and the app keeps crashing.

Also, I can delete a double entry…no clue how to or how to go about it.

Where’s everything gone??

Every project that I had notes on have disappeared! How is that possible? All my notes were there a few days ago and today - nothing - all gone. Very disappointed.

Tracking supplies

I use this solely for tracking my yarn stash, needles and hooks. For that, it is perfect. It works well without having to be connected to wi-fi/cellular.

Keeps crashing

I’m attempting to use this app and seems to crash a lot. I like the idea of having a place to keep track of what needles I own but what I don’t like is this app isn’t able to sort them. I understand it’s free so I’ll keep trying to use but it’s not super techie in what I would want.

Could be better

Great for tracking rows.
You can save a pattern link and add a photo of completed work or inspiration but these do not appear to show on any page. Formatting e.g. to edit time (if you forget to start and stop) is out with the fields over lapping so not all design functions can be selected.
App has lots of potential but not there yet can’t wait till it is.

Bugs

It’s a good app
But some bugs, keeps suddenly closing. The place to input the sizes are overlapped and not spaced out. Needs an update

Eh

The concept is good. Execution is lacking.
The project timer resets if you need to update project settings (for example to change repeat row settings) and you’ve been working on a project for more than 60 hours.
Pictures of patterns are uploaded at a microscopic size so I have to zoom a ridiculous amount to see the pattern.
On the iPhone, if you're doing a pattern row repeat, you can't see the row count once you get into double digits.
I like the idea but this definitely isn't the end all be all. I'm glad I didn't pay for it!

Timer not accurate— very dissatisfied

I’ve been using the app for about a year now and loved it at first because it would time how long it took me to make a project. However I recently started looking at the timer since I’m working on a project for a client and I realized it keeps deleting time. When I closed the app last night, it said I had done exactly 7 hours of work. I open it today and it says 6 hours and 29 minutes. This is not the first time it’s done that, but this is the first time it matters. Will be deleting the app since it doesn’t perform it’s intended function

Hmmm?

I was thrilled when I found this app. I looked at all that was on it and being a very organized person I knew it was for me
I posted a used all the time pattern, and then got ready to use it. I closed the app, then opened it and could not find my pattern. I will keep trying, if is probably my bad!
