Great, with some tweaks still needed
Very useful app, but the bookmarks in the library only show the first five with photos, leaving the user to guess what all the other bookmarks are. I had high hopes for this feature, because the bookmark photos on the website version are too impossibly small to see.
Great resource, needs search sophistication
It’s wonderful to have access to back issues of Handwoven in app form. The articles are very readable here, and there’s better nuance in bookmarking articles and projects than on the browser app.
I wish, though, that the search feature had more nuance to it, and that it could both filter and pick up on more text than just article titles and topics. It seems unsuccessful at searching by designer name (a search for “Lucienne Coifman” yields only an editorial in which she’s mentioned, not her designs), by yarn type (the first hit for “10/2 Cotton” is a feature on 5/2 Stonewashed cotton), or by loom type (the first hit for “8-shaft” is a feature on “Clasped Warp on 4 Shafts). If I’m trying to remember something like “where was that issue where I saw that twill gamp blanket?” I’m not going to be able to use the search to find it.

Used to be fine but not now
Bookmarks have disappeared. I was told this would be fixed at the next update but nothing so far. V difficult to find favourites now and the search function is useless.
Shame as the magazine content is excellent.

Bookmarking doesn’t work properly
The ability to mark projects to review later would be great - only the function does not include a picture or description so is pointless
Non fonctionnel
Une bonne partie des articles déposés dans marque page n’ont pas de photos, elles ont disparues et cela rend difficile la consultation. J’ai avisé la compagnie il y a plusieurs semaines mais même si on m’écrit qu’on ne m’oublie pas, il n’y a rien qui s’améliore. Le problème existe sur iPad et sur le iPhone. Sinon j’aime l’application avant je l’adorait.

What joy
I am rather new to weaving. I found this magazine at a site I bought my table top loom at. I was in love with the first Handwoven magazine I received. I decided to get a subscription. What a total joy it is!!!!! I have been reading the issues from the first release and have already learned things that will help me become a better weaver. Thank you offer the opportunity to read this magazine from its inception to current. How the times have changed!!!!!

Worth it!
Love the app, the access to back issues alone is worth the price. Much less being able to look at beautiful weaving projects when I’m stuck somewhere waiting on a Dr or just too tired to get up and do the wash!
Wonderful as usual
The colors and projects shown make me want to weave and sew every one. Unfortunately, I have to take a realistic view and pick just one. So hard to chose.
Great App, But…
I love this app, as I can look though the library and find patterns to use. The only problem is though they promise full access to older issues, the patterns cannot be printed out, leaving me to have my iPad open for long periods of time as I sit at my loom.
No access since last update
Since the most recent update, 2 months ago, each time I access the app, it says I need to subscribe. I have a subscription, it expires in October. Long Thread Media says I need to work it out with Apple. Apple says it’s the developer issue. Cannot delete and reinstall, will lose all of my accumulated content for the past 5 years. Someone needs to fix this.

Love this
This is a wonderful magazine and this app allows you to see all the issues. I love holding the actual magazine in my hand but this allows me to go back to older issues.
Has a few bugs
Love the access to all the editions of the magazine but the search feature doesn’t work
I love my digital Handwoven subscription!
Handwoven has been a big part of my life since I started weaving in 2008. I had a huge bin of the magazines, but it was cumbersome to store and delve into. Now that the subscription includes access to the previous issues, I am in heaven. It is a joy to go back through earlier issues to read the wonderful articles that I might or might not have taken the time to read when each issue arrived. When I see the reference to such and such article/project published in the May/June 2002 issue, I can find it instantly. Projects that didn’t always meet my taste or style earlier might be just the ticket as I look at them with fresh eyes.
The digital subscription is giving me great pleasure!

Lovely
This is a lovely way to read Handwoven magazine. Well done!
Most helpful
I already had a print subscription. Decided to see if I could hook this to it. Super easy and the benefit has been great. I highly recommend. I use very few apps and this is the only 1 I have ever recommended to others.
