### 3/5 — Buyer Beware

*2021-08-02, version 1.7*

I did the same thing as the last reviewer and assume that when I paid for the premium that I was going to be able to browse patterns on here rather than trying to use them through my tiny Safari app on my phone. My mistake. Yeah I have to favorite stuff on the website to actually see it in the app so it really doesn’t fit my actual needs.

### 1/5 — Read reviews first

*2021-04-07, version 1.7*

Really wish I had read the reviews first to find out I couldn’t even actually access the patterns on the app which was the whole reason why I wanted to download in the first place. Thought I had to pay money for that feature so I did... uhhh 😅 thanks for nothing then! This app is literally useless. There’s no reason to view favourites in an app without being able to then access the pattern.

### 1/5 — Rating is misleading

*2020-12-13, version 1.7*

I’m confused how this has a 4 star rating when all I’ve seen are mostly 1 star in the reviews. First, this app hasn’t been updated for 2 years. Second, Ravelry functions nicely in Safari and it is free. If this app seemed to function properly and smoothly, I’d consider paying a one time fee but a monthly or yearly fee for this service that is free in your browser, this just seems like a rip off.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-02-09, version 1.7*

Useless

### 1/5 — You have to pay once you are in the app

*2019-10-15, version 1.7*

I was so excited to finally have a revelry app that worked well, but turns out, this isn’t free and they don’t tell you until you download it and enter your information. Bait and switch.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2019-10-08, version 1.7*

It’s my fault I bought it without looking further into it.  It has no value

### 1/5 — Scam

*2019-09-28, version 1.7*

Scam don’t waste your time and money

### 1/5 — Useless app - deleted

*2019-09-19, version 1.7*

Thought I could pull patterns nothing like that. Basically a wanna be social media app to post project updates. Can’t even view the patterns I favorited in the website. This is ridiculous and what’s the point of charging people for?!?! Scammers and false advertisement.

### 2/5 — Since I have been banned

*2019-08-30, version 1.7*

By that place that this app goes to I have no need to use it.  It really was not much but a fast way to see my friends photos anyway.
The place went to H E 🏒🏒 when they chose to ban and call any conservatives WS
The site is now full of hate.

So I will now be heading over to Fiberocity instead 

Make an app for that please

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2019-08-19, version 1.7*

Nothing I was hoping for which was ability to use ravelery in a meaningful way. Plus so far have not found way to unsub from it made mistake of going add free ???!!!
