### 4/5 — Top mag. Bad sub discounts.

*2014-10-01*

Better than other UK crochet mags - the patterns are modern, well designed and will appeal to crocheters of all abilities.  Editorial is well written and relevant to the title in a punchy, chatty style.  The layout is such that you get the mag at the front then all the patterns towards the rear of the magazine - no more flicking thro hundreds of pages to find the second half of a pattern, which is a great decision.
Only downer is the discount rates for subscriptions - as mentioned in other reviews.  It's pants.  The minuscule discount is the same for print or digital and, honestly, hardly worth it.
No other incentive to subscribe either - no free gift.
IMHO this irks a little bit but it's still worth buying the mag because it's the best on the UK market.
If you like it also consider trying Interweave Crochet, its a US title with the most fab patterns for intermediate to advanced crocheters.

### 5/5 — The best uk crochet mag!

*2014-07-18*

Consistently has patterns I'm itching to get started on! All those I have made have been well written.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2013-09-22*

This is the best crochet magazine, love it.  And the app is great, have had no trouble with it.

Great magazine.  Lots of patterns.  Love it.  One of the best magazines out.

### 4/5 — Inside Crochet

*2013-03-04*

Great magazine, and it's British too. I agree with number one, the reduction for the digital version is pretty poor.

### 4/5 — Mrs

*2013-02-16*

Great magazine, couldn't access straight away but staff very helpful in managing this for me and quickly. Can't wait for further issues.

### 4/5 — Good Mag!  Boring Format!

*2013-02-08*

Nice Patterns.  Good to see how another country hooks.  I wish the mag was more interactive.  How about some links to the cool stuff in the mag?

### 4/5 — Retro

*2012-11-22*

### 1/5 — Terrible app, great magazine

*2022-07-13*

The magazine has great patterns. Beautifully crafted visually. The app is rubbish, basically just allows page turning. you can bookmark a page, but there is no list of bookmarks…you literally have to go into each magazine you have and look to see if there is a bookmark. You cannot export to pdf or print any pages…so you can only follow a pattern only using your tablet. Absolutely shocking. There are much better crochet magazine apps that allow much more.

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2017-01-21*

They promise a free magazine if you review them, and don't deliver.  Terrible customer service.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2013-09-22*

Disappeared from device after downloading iOS 7 and now won't let me download previous issues and is making me pay again - despite the fact that I have subscribed. Very angry - fix this please.

### 1/5 — Not free!!

*2012-11-13*

It is free to download the crochet app but to use any issue is 5.99 without subscription.

### 1/5 — Unstable and buggy

*2012-10-27*

Title says it all really - very hard to get to open and crashes almost immediately afterwards. My brief glimpses of it have looked good but essentially useless as it is. Very disappointing and I'm glad it was free!

### 2/5 — UI is unusable

*2019-10-22*

Downloaded this app to try and can’t read the UI at all. It’s yellow and white. I can tell there are buttons but not what they say. Tried in light and dark mode and didn’t make a difference.

### 2/5 — Looks like a beautiful mag, but...

*2016-01-25*

After downloading the app, you have free access to one beautiful, complete issue. I liked what I saw, so I tried to register so that I could subscribe. Put in my email and password and was left "logging in" for 15 minutes. I should note, I recently tried using another Pocketmag app and had a similar problem. Looks like a great mag, but I won't trust the app for purchases, even if it ever logs me in.

### 2/5 — Not downloading completely

*2014-03-09*

Bought a subscription.  First issue downloaded fine.  Second issue will only download 4 pages.  A bug?

### 3/5 — Okay

*2020-05-06*

Yes I like the app but would love to see the “ complete your issues” price go down say 20$ I am new to crocheting because of Clovis-19 and would love to read all your back issues.  It’s just too expensive.

### 3/5 — Love this Mag!!

*2013-04-04*

I think this is probably the best Crochet Magazine I've found. The patterns are very modern with a great deal more diversity than other crochet magazines. I was very disappointed when I discovered that this magazine could not be delivered to the US, and was absolutely ELATED when I figured out I could purchase a digital subscription!!!

Beautiful patterns and layout. Soothing read and great inspiration.

*2021-09-16*

Use Inside Crochet Magazine app on my iPad. The app is very good and clear.

### 5/5 — Great on trend patterns

*2020-04-24*

The patterns in this magazine are really on trend and appealing to both younger crocheters and older because they maintain a level of classic timeless style. I love it.

### 5/5 — Inside Crochet

*2017-01-29*

Fabulous magazine, beautiful patterns, easy to download. I love it!

### 5/5 — 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2017-01-16*

Love this magazine, always looking forward to the beautiful crochet patterns and inspiration. Would recommend to any crochet lover ❤️

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-03-09*

Love this magazine - terrific patterns, up-to-date styles and clear instructions, as well as the latest information on the crochet scene.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2014-11-19*

Great magazine full of patterns and a nice range of articles

### 5/5 — Good read

*2014-10-01*

I like the mix of items to make, small things and larger ones, garments and accessories. And they are things I would consider making or have made. Nice articles too.

### 5/5 — My favorite crochet mag

*2014-09-14*

I love this crochet magazine. Their patterns are trendy and don't look like like things only my mom would wear. Sometimes I get a bit frustrated having to read the UK terms, but it's definitely worth putting up with for having several patters from each issue that I want to make.

### 5/5 — Excellent value for money

*2014-08-20*

Great magazine. Much more content than others available.
