### 4/5 — Very Good

*2026-07-23, version 2.3*

気に入りました。広告を削除する方法を教えてください。

### 4/5 — Super small on iphone 11

*2020-08-26, version 2.3*

I’ve been using this app for years because it’s simple and easy to use, and works for me the way I need it to. Unfortunately I switched from an iPhone 8 to an iPhone 11 recently and because of this the screen is now very small and off center. I’d like to keep using it because it still works otherwise but I simply don’t think I will.

### 3/5 — Good but doesn’t work with iPhone X

*2019-10-06, version 2.3*

I have used this app for year. But with a new phone it doesn’t work. It’s super small and the extra counters aren’t there

### 4/5 — Pretty awesome for being free

*2018-05-05, version 2.3*

I have to admit, no matter where I go, what I pay, I still end up coming back to this app. I’ve been using it for years, and it’s been transferred over to my iPhone 6 now, and still running great. It’s a little wonky because it’s not made in an English speaking country, but the gist of how to use it is easy to figure out. I love that I can change from rows to stitches. I have multiple projects saved to it at once, each with a photo of the pattern attached just in case. I mostly love that it has a no-sleep mode so your phone stays on as you work through those tougher stitches. It had an update, and now runs much better.

### 3/5 — Suggested improvements

*2017-07-09, version 2.3*

Would like to see iCloud sync, pattern repeat. Also ability to add pattern.

Easy to use though 🙂

### 3/5 — Very frustrating

*2017-03-01, version 2.3*

I used this app a lot and it worked well.  Ow there is an update but on my iPad it tells me the app doesn't work on this device and it won't update and I can't make the useless update go away. However the app works fine on this device.  I hate to have to convert everything to a different app that doesn't work as well

### 2/5 — Nice app

*2016-10-31, version 2.1*

Not able to get to home.

### 2/5 — unsupported device

*2016-10-06, version 2.1*

I am disappointed that you no longer support iPad mini, earlier than 3rd gen. My mini runs iOS 9.3.5. You say your app runs on 8.4, but you won't support all the hardware that runs that iOS.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2016-10-05, version 2.0*

You must have iOS8.4 or later for this app to work. Bummer. I liked it when it did work.

### 1/5 — Can't update

*2016-10-04, version 2.0*

I purchased this app to work on my iPad 4. Was pretty happy with it, learning how to use it...now the App Store says I can't update because this app is "not compatible with your device".  I can't figure out how to communicated with the developers, because the developers website is in a different language than my own.  I would love to give a higher rating because I like the app, but if I paid for it only to be able to use it for 6 months, I'm very disappointed.  Please help me straighten this out.

### 2/5 — No longer compatible

*2016-09-22, version 2.0*

Getting a message that it is not compatible with my iPad or my iPhone since updating to iOS 10.  I used it almost daily and will miss this app. Hope you can fix it.

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2016-09-16, version 2.1*

I've used this app for a long time now, and find it very useful. It allows me to keep track of several projects at once, and I can access details quickly and easily. It would be great if it could include a tool for calculating gushed, though!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!

*2019-02-15, version 2.3*

Doesn’t work on my newest iPod.

### 1/5 — iPhone X issues

*2018-01-20, version 2.3*

Unable to close the app on iPhone X without re starting phone

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2017-12-20, version 2.3*

I used this app for all of my projects. Now it won’t even open on my iPhone and my counts for numerous projects are LOST! Disappointing!

### 1/5 — Can’t even open this for a review, caution

*2017-11-22, version 2.3*

This does not play on my new iPad Pro, a total wast of money, this should be said clearly so folks understand to not buy it and there should be a place for a refund for something that will NOT work,

### 1/5 — What happened?!

*2017-09-06, version 2.3*

I love this app. Or I did. It doesn't save your stitch count progress or notes that you make! Please fix this! I have been using this app for years and this is disappointing!

### 1/5 — Not compatible

*2017-06-19, version 2.0*

When I first downloaded this app, it was handy, but it hasn't been able to update in months, and says it's not compatible with my fully up-to-date iPad 4.  I can't seem to contact anyone for service (that may be because of a linguistic issue), and don't want to risk losing what functionality I still have by deleting it, only to have it refuse to install again if it still thinks there's a compatibility issue.

### 1/5 — Confusing

*2017-03-28, version 2.3*

I didn't get how to do it 😕it kept on glitching I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP!!!!

### 1/5 — Upset

*2017-01-01, version 2.3*

I used this app all the time but then it stopped updating saying it's not compatible with my device. Same message on the iPad which I had it on too. If anyone can sort this I'd love to get it back. Please

### 1/5 — Horrific ux

*2016-12-11, version 2.3*

The ux is so bad it renders the app literally useless

### 1/5 — Please update

*2016-10-26, version 2.0*

The only reason I'm giving this one star is because it so desperately needs updating....... otherwise it is a wonderful app

### 5/5 — Fun, useful app!

*2020-01-19, version 2.3*

I’ve been using this app for years!! It’s so cute, and I often refer to the notes I put in here. Especially for socks... foot sizes and such. 
Also, I think the “please allow awkward english” is adorable & endearing. 
Thank you! ~K, 2020

### 5/5 — Love this app.

*2019-07-03, version 2.3*

Do you have an app for the Apple Watch.

### 5/5 — Favorite stitch counter!

*2018-07-21, version 2.3*

Love this app it’s awesome! Suggestion to developers, instead of the photo above the counter, sync to YouTube or video streamer so you can watch tv while counter is visible.

### 5/5 — Darling and easy to use!

*2017-10-09, version 2.3*

I was looking for an easy to use counter, but got more than I hope for. Good functionality and i just LOVE the kitty cat! That tail wag is an extra bonus for completing a row. :)

Update 10/8/17: I still love this sweet little app. No problems with things saving (as others have complained). Miss the old icon, but the app remains exceedingly solid in my hands.

### 5/5 — Perfect app!!

*2017-01-28, version 2.3*

Such a great app!! Easy to use counter with a stitch and row counter as well as two other counters you can switch on/off (I use them for body decrease rows on my sweaters). 
The only "recommendation" I'd make to the developers is I think it would be super cool if you could somehow have a timer for each project so you can see how long it takes you to knit your projects :)

### 5/5 — Simple and easy

*2016-11-05, version 2.3*

A simple and easy to use app. A row / stitch counter and nothing more. You can also store multiple projects on it. To add a 1 / 2 / 10 row(s) / stitch(s) you select the number you want to add then press the kitten, as simple as that.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2016-09-14, version 2.0*

I love this app! I tried several row counters before settling on this one. I also like the auto advance for recurring actions like decrease or cable. The little cat that flicks its tail and sticks out its tongue was the clincher!

### 5/5 — Knitting

*2016-08-25, version 2.0*

Thanks for this app love it easy to use the instructions are in Chinese but dead easy to follow xx

### 5/5 — Best counter/project minder

*2016-05-27, version 2.0*

I love the multiple projects, count by stitch, group of stitches, or row, notes, add picture, and percent complete features!  My favorite project minder!!

### 5/5 — Easy to use and super cute

*2016-04-09, version 2.0*

Although other reviewers said no instructions was a problem I found this really easy to figure out. Enter name of project, save, open, enter number of rows and go. 
Plus every time you complete a row you press a cute kitten to increase the count. So nice! ❤️
