Having to spam tap it to get it to correct number or tapping, looking away for a second to just look back at it & see it decreased count on its own ENTIRELY defeats the purpose of an app for “stitch counting”. **Developer response:** 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. ### 4/5 — Use it all the time! *2026-03-19, version 1.67* They are very quick to respond to questions. I love the simplicity ### 3/5 — Decent app *2026-02-19, version 1.66* I love that I can upload patterns so that I can easily access them between devices and the row counter is great. Main reason I got this 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. ### 4/5 — Pinning *2026-02-12, version 1.66* It would be really cool to be able to pin current projects the in PDFs section ### 3/5 — Ai Generated Pattern *2026-01-19* I have used this app for years with the subscription option, it has been one of my favorite apps because I love to upload my patterns and use the counter especially now that you can connect to your watch. 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). **Developer response:** 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! ### 2/5 — Helpful but there’s a problem *2025-12-20, version 1.65* They don’t show the steps as step by step and I got lost I can’t find any step by step ### 4/5 — Check mark *2025-11-29, version 1.64* You should add a spot to check off what you finished ### 2/5 — Sync to watch doesn’t work *2025-11-09, version 1.62* Counter is fine, does the basics, but if you try and sync it to Apple Watch it says an active subscription is required, even if there is an active subscription. ### 4/5 — Amazing *2025-10-20, version 1.60* The only thing I would like to see in this app is more expert patterns but apart from that it is great for beginners I love the stitch counter and timer it is so easy to use I love it and will continue to use ### 3/5 — Turtle *2025-07-27, version 1.56* Not enough patterns ### 4/5 — Live love crochet *2025-06-06* I love this app so much that since I offered for good things I lost track. This app is incredibly helpful. Not only does it have a crochet counter, but it also has features that are selected for creating plushy clothes I made it using one of the free patterns and I love it. The app is very simple to use so I have fun with it. You do get it now ### 3/5 — An honest opinion *2025-06-01, version 1.54* Hello I downloaded this app hoping for a bunch of patterns that I could use to make something cause I’m always stumped and not sure what to make. I read the reviews decided to download it however I quickly realized that there aren’t overly many patterns and unfortunately you can’t look up any of the patters so you have to kinda scroll around to try and find one that you like you can’t just look it up. I think this app would be better if more people used it and there are more patterns it was just a bit easier to find everything and also how does the counter work? I can’t figure it out. Developer please consider writing back to this cause I think this app does it has a lot of potential however a few things need to be changed before it could be really good thank you. 😊 ### 4/5 — Good ,but…. *2025-05-26, version 1.53* It’s a great app but it only has a few crochet patterns. I feel like it should have more options like blankets and stuffed animals stuff like that it would be great if they added more patterns. ### 3/5 — It could be improved *2025-05-22, version 1.53* I downloaded this app because I thought it included a tool for me to write my own pattern, either privately or publicly, but it didn’t have that feature. This app is nice and cute but I would love if I could start a pattern of my own here. ### 4/5 — Not every hook size available *2025-05-14* I like this app so far but I’m trying to add some of my weird hooks (5.2mm and 4.25mm) and they’re not even an option to pick, not is there any way to add a custom hook option. Seems silly that this wouldn’t be offered on a crochet app that supposed to categorize all things crochet / knit ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Use of AI *2026-04-30* This app displayed generative AI use within the first opening of the app. AI is one of the worst things plaguing the crocheting community right now. It not only looks sloppy and careless, it lets me know that this developer is already trying to blur the boundaries between real and fake. The graphics are very simple and would be easy to commission, too! Also, this app has patterns on it, but how can you trust a dev that has already used AI to not use it again, but on the patterns? It seems like a great concept, but come on. **Developer response:** 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 ### 1/5 — SERIOUS POTENTIAL *2026-01-18, version 1.65* This app has serious potential, but I’m definitely not interested in paying 3.99 for a handful of patterns that I can find free on the internet. My suggestion would be to try and create some partnerships with popular pattern designers. ### 1/5 — tutorials unavailable *2025-11-07, version 1.62* would be a great app but none of the tutorials show as available to watch, they are basically dead youtube links which makes the app pretty much pointless to pay for if the only thing I can use is the counter. ### 1/5 — Dont reccamend for beginner *2025-05-30, version 1.53* So when I went to the patterns I thought there would be videos, I don’t know how to follow without video. It did not explain how to do a magic ring and I over all dont like it because you have to pay and it never mentioned that ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work without WiFi *2025-04-11, version 1.51* Went camping with my project just to find out that it doesn’t work without WiFi, so I didn’t know what row I was on. Found a new app. ### 1/5 — Problem *2025-03-30, version 1.51* Ich komme auf keine Anleitung drauf und das nervt sehr kann mir jemand bitte helfen ### 1/5 — My least favorite app for crochet *2024-12-29, version 1.45* Although it does do good with rows and counting how fast you can do it there are no good patterns there is only 1 or 2 I kind of like all this app is is a waste of storage ### 1/5 — Crocheting *2024-09-18, version 1.43* It is not very good. It does not have videos, but if you don’t need videos, it does have a lot of patterns, but does not really show you them. it is very confusing ### 1/5 — I do not like this *2024-07-31, version 1.42* This app is confusing and I tried to connect this app to my watch, but i have to pay for it to able to access it. ### 1/5 — Worst app EVER! *2024-06-29, version 1.37* There are so many hoops you have to jump through just for poor written patterns and you have to pay for any good from the app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-07-10, version 1.75* Its very good to keep track of your crochet stuff ### 5/5 — Grate app love it *2026-06-01, version 1.73* I love this app the one thing it needs is more patterns and an easier way to store patterns. ### 5/5 — Jo *2026-03-22, version 1.68* This is the best cuz I was board and I helped me think of projects ### 5/5 — 🎁 *2026-01-01, version 1.65* Thank you for this app ### 5/5 — I love this app *2025-12-27, version 1.65* Thanks for the suggestions of the app ### 5/5 — LOVE IT,just...... *2025-12-09, version 1.65* It helps so much with making sure I STAY on the row that am on. I crochet A LOT so your app made it as if I could crochet super fast.The one thing that bothered me is SO. MANY. ADS. Just if the ads weren't there it would be Perfect♡ ### 5/5 — Long term subscription *2025-12-04, version 1.64* Absolutely love this app, have used it consistently for over 2 years now! Such a brilliant way to keep all my patterns in one place. Will continue to use. ### 5/5 — Научилась вязать 🤪 *2025-12-02, version 1.64* Это такое крутое приложение!!! Каждый день вяжу и прям жестко нравится ### 5/5 — Love *2025-11-21, version 1.63* I love this ### 5/5 — Gut *2025-03-15, version 1.50* Ich bin ein anfänger und habe schnell gelernt --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
