Deletes counters constantly
Well what a shame, I used to love this app but recently my row counters change values! Whats the point in paying (a lot) for that when I can just record it myself. Very disappointed in how this app is getting worse and worse with each update
Greedy
I spent days cataloging my yarn stash after having to move it into storage. I loved being able to see what i had on hand without having to dig it out of my basement. After not crocheting for a while, i went to the app to check if I had the yarn needed for an Etsy order. I was asked to log back in and give them my demographic information… then hit with a $100 annual subscription! You guys are insane if you think your target market has enough money to spend $100 on an APP after spending all their extra money on a bunch of yarn! I've never left an app review in my life but i have never been this annoyed and frustrated with an app. Not everybody wants their stuff on the cloud of connected to and email you can spam for your mailing lists. Stop forcing consumers to pay for a subscription for a service they don't need. I saw they replied to another review with, "none of your data has been deleted or taken away. Everything you've added is still safely stored in your account. The change is about access to functionality, not ownership of your information.”
The issue is, you’ve locked my information in a similar manner to RANSOM-WARE. I would’ve loved to have gotten a copy of my yarn stash to store on my OWN physical drives but why would they do that if they can charge their long time users $100? Don’t spend your money on this app, if you want a community go on internet forums or in person events. If you want to track your stash, don’t use a service for a glorified excel spreadsheet. If you’re reading a pattern, use a free PDF viewer.

New update has so many issues
Why is my pattern suddenly cut off?! I updated the app this morning and it lost my highlights on my chart so that was fun… and it’s also cutting off my pattern. It doesn’t matter if I remove the pattern and add it again, it’s still being cute off!! And why can’t i suddenly add decimals in the yarn stash? My yarn is 1.76 oz not 1 oz not 2 oz. 1.76!!! For an app this expensive I would hope things worked properly. I’m so extremely dissatisfied and disappointed at the moment.

Update is horrible
Update doesn’t allow me to add decimals into my calculations weight and length of yarn. My friend also is not able to see the her chart to her pattern half of it is cut off. We both paid for the year and are both disappointed in this update
Always crashes
I love this app and it would be almost perfect if you could actually access it. I feel like most of the time I try to use it I get an error. Not great when you’re a paying customer. Also hate the fact that it doesn’t work offline. What about knitting on a plane, going through a tunnel on the train etc.?
Because of this, I have started using a different, free app which works offline and where you can also time your projects. I will not be renewing my premium subscription.

App doesn’t work
I’ve tried to sign up and create an account 3 times on 3 different days. Can’t get past the “pick 3 styles you like” stage. Can’t click continue and can’t click on photos.
Unnecessary
This is a disappointing App. Not worth what I paid for it. Trying to get a refund!
Not enough pattern support.
I started a knit-along using your base sweater pattern but encountered some difficulties. I reached out for assistance, but unfortunately, I didn’t receive much support in resolving my issue, so I will have to frog the project. It's disappointing, as you have some lovely patterns. However, I noticed that there are no crochet patterns available, and some of the patterns I liked are only offered in Norwegian. On a positive note, the app is user-friendly, and the tools in the pattern area are quite good.

Fee based app
Nowhere in the description or App Store coding does it indicate this is a fee for service app. In fact, the conditions are: “Try free for 14 days then from $9/month”
Subscription Management
Subscription was not managed under Apple, which is what I would normally track, and they were unable to perform a refund for a few days delay of cancellation (which I never had an issue with other companies before)
Impossible to contact them
Having opted in for the trial version of the app, it was the impossible to reach them to cancel my subscription. No response to my emails. Meanwhile, £84 taken
from my account.
…. And still no contact 2 weeks after request to cancel my subscription. At what point does this become a fraudulent organisation?

Zu teuer für den gebotenen Funktionsumfang
Die App bietet zwar eine coole Funktion für Anleitungen und Muster, aber das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt leider gar nicht! Mit 8.99 € pro Monat ist sie fast gleich teuer wie vergleichbare Apps im Jahr kosten (z.B: Zähl mich, 9,99€/Jahr).
Der hohe Preis rechtfertigt sich nur wenn man mindestens zwei Strickanleitungen pro Monat kaufen würde die im Abopreis scheinbar inkludiert sind. Sobald man mal etwas Stricken möchte ausserhalb der App, sind die restlichen Basisfunktionen für diesen Preis schlichtweg zu teuer!

No free option
Even with the free trial it forces you to add credit card info….i just wanted to try it first, very irritating to go through the whole set up process just to be told I have to input payment info
Doesn’t work
I’ve been trying to log in and use this app ever since they took $107 from me and it does t work. Says I’m not connected to WiFi and when it does open it says “no pattern’s available “. Would like a
Full refund

Deceptive
Makes you believe it’s free. And expensive imo.
Not worth it as-is
I opted for the paid version and it’s nice when it works, but that’s rare. More often than not my current projects won’t load when I open the app, and the counters never sync across devices.
Falsely advertised as free with no in app purchases
No in app purchases noted in App Store but the reality is only a fortnight’s free trial and then a hefty monthly fee.
Not enough crochet
I downloaded the app for crocheting as it is advertised on the App Store for both. Unfortunately this isn’t aimed at crocheters at all. There are only 16 crochet patterns and 6 videos- the rest is knitting only, including the stash and needs section/all feature of the app so is not suitable for me. It’s a shame as I like the layout/ feel of the app. Perhaps I will come back when it is fully functional as advertised. The crochet section feels like an after thought add-on

Why hide the cost?
Looked interesting. But why waste my time with surveys and emails before you say there’s a cost? Bait and switch.
Bang not worth the buck
While this is the most aesthetically pleasing knitting companion I’ve seen, it’s just not worth the subscription price. It’s asking a premium price for basic features, many of which are buggy and vague. The store is quite limited, the pattern annotation is equally as limited. There’s not even a basic tutorial within the app to highlight its features and functionality (What does the light bulb even do?!) Pretty app, but $100 annually in this economic climate for a basic app- not worth it.

Response from developer
Hi, and thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed review. We understand why the price can feel hard to justify if the experience hasn’t met your expectations, especially when parts of the app feel unclear or limited. That’s not the experience we’re aiming for. So we do want to share that a major update is on the way, with significant improvements to performance, stability, and core functionality. Making the app easier to understand and use from the start is a high priority for us, and any we we love to get feedback on help@knitandnote.com whenever our users has suggestions for improvements. All are read, and we use a lot of the feedback in the improvement of the app 😊
