Use of AI
Response from developer
Hello. We do not use AI in our work. Most likely you have missed us with the competitor app. Only AI pattern we have added was an experimental one (crocheted AI bunny) and even that we did by hand, on validating how well AI did it (very poor), so we adjusted it and published. Please get back to us with this complaint, as we believe this is not correct information
Annoying Bug for Main Purpose (Counter)
Response from developer
Hello Daevakin, Can you please reach out to our support? hello@newcrochet.store, with a video of a bug happening? we would love to solve it, but cannot reproduce it on our devices, maybe this will help. Please us know if we can help you anyhow else.

Use it all the time!
Decent app
Big con for me is this is a paid app and it doesn’t even seem to have landscape mode on either my apple or android devices unless I want to force it using split screen. So I can’t use my prop cases to stand my tablet or phone up on a table to read the pattern unless I want to read the pattern sideways. I have to keep on or near my lap. Pretty obnoxious lol.

Ai Generated Pattern
That being said - I was scrolling through the provided patterns today and saw the “Ai Generated Bunny” pattern. I find it to be lazy and irresponsible especially given how limited the patterns already are that are provided, but I didn’t get the app for the provided patterns so that hasn’t been an issue until now.
I’m heavily considering cancelling my subscription and deleting the app. I don’t think I need to explain why this is troubling to me as many of the people who would get this app are already probably aware of the issues in using generative Ai for anything let alone for something like this, but I thought it was important to say since I haven’t seen any other reviews pointing this out.
I will say, aside from the blatant use of Ai, the app has been great (although the free version has quite a lot of ads which can be frustrating).
Response from developer
Hello Aye&Jay, We understand your concern and this is exactly why we did it like it is done now. We've made an experiment on our Social media platforms, if AI is so good, can it make a pattern? As it appears, it can, but there were so many mistakes and inconsistencies, that our crochet creators had to basically rework it, but it was an interesting experiment, on how far can AI go with patterns. In short - for now, not so much, as it does not understand the mechanics of it and how all these things are connected. So we, as crocheters as safe...for now at least. All the things that we do here are handcrafted and validated by real artisans and masters of crocheting before they see the public. This is one of the reasons why we have fewer patterns than we could, if we would just steal someones work or generate them with AI. Hope it makes sense!
