Glad I found this one. Really simple to use ### 5/5 — Best knitting counter app *2024-07-12, version 2022.0* So easy to use has been great helping me keep track of rows brilliant thank you ### 5/5 — 🩵💜❤️ *2024-07-04, version 2022.0* I love this app so much! I knit socks, and the app allows me to keep track of the number of rounds on each part of the sock. Just a tap on the screen and I’m back to knitting. As someone who doesn’t always read my knitting as well as I should, this app is exactly what I need. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-04-09, version 2022.0* Easy to use. I keep it on my Home Screen and use it all the time. ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-03-18, version 2022.0* This is a great little app which saves me a lot of unpicking! Love it. ### 5/5 — exactly what is needed. *2024-03-13, version 2022.0* this is literally just a counter. you tap for stitches and it counts how many rows you do. no bells and whistles. simple and to the point. thank goodness!!! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2024-02-18* Simple and quick counter for any kind of work that needs tracking. A few suggestions: each project be able to have a different color? Maybe a way to have it split for color options in a project? Thanks for making this, helps a lot 😊 ### 5/5 — Reliable, always handy! *2024-02-16, version 2022.0* Been using this app for years for my knitting projects. Particularly useful for decreasing, increasing, or any shaping rounds. Love that I can keep multiple projects going at once, just remember how you titled the project count! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Years of use *2024-01-24* I’ve been using this app for about 5 years now and it’s never glitched. I absolutely love it. It does what it’s supposed to do without any extra junk. ### 5/5 — Simple - only counter I use *2024-01-23, version 2022.0* Love this app…it’s simple, I can track multiple projects. Reliable & easy to use. Must have for knitters. ### 5/5 — Perfect counter *2024-01-22, version 2022.0* My finger digital counter broke so I decided to check the App Store . Of all the counters in the app store this the perfect crochet counter for me. Others seem more complicated than they need to be; just want to count stitches. Don’t need all the other bells and whistles. Simple yet effective . Thanks for creating this ### 5/5 — MommaG *2023-12-27, version 2022.0* Love this app! Perfect for my needs! ### 5/5 — So Helpful *2023-12-14, version 2022.0* I really appreciate having this app on my phone so very convenient! ### 5/5 — LIFESAVER! *2023-12-03, version 2022.0* I love this app! It does everything I need it to do plus more! It keeps track of my counts and my projects! I can put my hook down or pick it up anytime! Even a week later! ### 5/5 — Simple and Effective *2023-09-05* I can track multiple projects and it’s simple to click the screen to count your rows. There is a minus button or reset button as well if you make a mistake or want to count from 0 again. You can also count repeating numbers (like every 20 stitches or something) and it'll count how many complete repetitions you’ve made. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Graces review *2020-02-18, version 3.5* I would suggest to make it more fun for people ### 2/5 — Basic *2017-05-12, version 2.1.1* While you can add colour swatches which is really cool you can only count the rows. So if your on a repeat row if you put the pattern down then you have recount in order to figure out where you. You can count multiple projects at the same time. Unfortunately it wasn't what I was looking for but it was still a good app. ### 3/5 — Background Color *2025-05-30, version 2022.0* The background color is a gray that makes it look like you’ve dimmed your screen. Can’t figure out how to change it. Annoying. ### 3/5 — A little too simple *2020-10-17, version 2020.1* It doesn’t have anything to count repeats, it just counts straight through ### 4/5 — Simple counting app *2025-04-13, version 2022.0* I have been looking for a simple row counter app to replace the one I had which is no longer supported. This one fills the bill. The only reason it doesn't get five stars is because it doesn't seem possible to go back a row; if you mess up you have to either make a note elsewhere or reset and count back up. ### 4/5 — Fantastic App, *2024-09-12, version 2022.0* Works really well with split screen for pattern and counter ### 4/5 — Color *2024-08-15, version 2022.0* I absolutely love this app! It has been such a huge help with keeping up with row counts, now I do more then just blankets. My only problem is I really like the pastel color options but the gray background makes it to hard to see the number I’m on. Could there be a way to change the background from gray to black? ### 4/5 — Basic but does the job *2023-09-11, version 2022.0* I wish you could have multiple repeat counters ### 4/5 — Want to cancel my subscription *2023-03-23, version 2022.0* I really didn’t want to pay for this every month but cannot figure out how to cancel my subscription ### 4/5 — Repeat counter confusing *2023-01-16* Hi there, I’ve been using your app for years. I like the introduction of repeat counters. But I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to make it work for me. I kept incrementing the wrong counter or it would do the math weird. I don’t know how to set the repeats and then increment the right counts to see where I’m at. Maybe a video explaining it or it might need some tweaks to be usable. I was trying to use it to keep track of two counts at the same time (ie a pattern and some shaping counts on a knitted sweater). Thanks! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the concept but would like a timer added *2026-06-21* I love this app, don't get me wrong. My first favorite crochet tracking app is glitched and no longer even available in my region for updates so I needed to find a new tracking app. I love that you just tap the screen and it counts as a row. I love that concept instead of having to find the plus or up button. I just wish there was an actual timer I could use in the app to track the amount of time each project takes. That's the biggest downfall of this app imo. It'd also be nice if you could input your supplies and how much each one cost, the app I'm coming from could do that and would calculate the worth of your project by adding cost of supplies plus a certain amount of upcharge per hour spent on it. (I think they did 1.8% plus the amount you set per hour) You could set your pay per hour to calculate the worth of your project and I really liked that. Overall I enjoy this app even if I do miss these features of my old app. ### 5/5 — The best counter app I’ve used *2026-02-16* I’ve been using this app for several years, and have recommended it to quite a few fellow crocheters/knitters, I love that I can have loads of different WIPS stored, so I know exactly where I’ve left off with whatever project I return to, I’ve just counted how many I have saved, and surprised myself, 64..!! lol… I would definitely recommend this app ### 5/5 — Simple, easy *2025-12-11, version 2022.0* Not fancy. Does exactly what I want it to do, which is easily mark my current rows completed. I love being able to not only have multiple projects going but to also have a section for each piece of my WIP if I want. ### 5/5 — So good! *2025-10-13* Definitely the best one of these counters I’ve tried - easy to use, nice big buttons, checks when you request a delete (for example)to avoid a calamity- what’s not to like! Can offer multiple projects at once. So good! ### 5/5 — Great help!! *2025-08-08* Easy to use...very simple! ### 5/5 — The perfect counter *2025-07-12, version 2022.0* I’ve used this app for several projects and love the simplicity and the features for counting repeat sections plus the ability to track multiple projects since I always have a few WIP’s going all of the time! I’ve tried other apps but this one is the best! ### 5/5 — My Crochet Counter *2025-06-14, version 2022.0* I’ve used this counter for a few years it’s helps when counting my rows. It’s come in handy for sure. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2025-05-27* I have used this app now for a few years and would not be without it. I love the sound effects. It has really helped me keep track of rows and counting whilst crafting. ### 5/5 — Long time user *2025-05-17* I’ve used this app for years and love it. I started using it with the base model before you could change the colors and it’s had a few more features added over time. I like the dates for started projects as well when it was last worked on. Kind of a reality check for the long abandoned projects from 2021 lol. I also like that I can have multiple counters at once, I’m a project hopper so I need to be able to keep track of them all. ### 5/5 — Simple counting app *2025-05-01* UPDATE: the dev let me know that what I thought were two bars at the bottom is, in fact, a minus sign. Making this the perfect basic counting app. Thanks! I have been looking for a simple row counter app to replace the one I had which is no longer supported. This one fills the bill. The only reason it doesn't get five stars is because it doesn't seem possible to go back a row; if you mess up you have to either make a note elsewhere or by this the perfect basic counting app reset and count back up. **Developer response:** Great to hear you like the app! Going back by one is in fact possible: just tap the minus sign (vertical bar) at the bottom of the screen.
