Bait and switch
So sad about this app, I paid for the lifetime version, and now they’ve made enough changes where that version isn’t available anymore. I was able to creat charts and change colors of my markers, flip designs and merge them together. I loved it, until they got my payment for a lifetime, then they made all the features only available if you pay a yearly subscription. So my PAID subscription now I get the FREE version that everyone can get, so what did I pay for??
I understand it’s the way of the world to make money, but how many people did they lie to about the lifetime version? I wouldn’t pay for this app again even if it did my knitting for me, burn me once, shame on you…I’m not getting burned again.

So Useful
Since downloading and purchasing the paid for version, I’ve only used this app for my knitting. It is especially useful for charts, be it cabling charts or colour charts - or both together.
It’s quite complicated at first because it is so comprehensive in its features and I’m still nowhere near as proficient as I’d like to be. It took me quite some time to unravel how to add my extensive library of magazine patterns. I ended up downloading VFlat scanner and from its ‘share’ I can now directly choose knitCompanion.

Great for knitting
I started using the paid version on a complicated cable pattern. It's takes a bit of time to get the charts set up, mostly because there is a learning curve. It is definitely worth the effort. The videos and resource guides are great and the customer service is really fantastic. There are so many helpful options in the paid version, such as easily keeping track of a certain number of increases after a number of rows. I combined the cable charts so everything is on one page. I've added reminders at certain points. I can easily jump between pages of the pattern as well as between patterns. I highly recommend.

knitCompanion
I cannot get my patterns moved from the older app..to the newer app…I do not have Ravelry and only a few patterns were in Drop Box..they did move..all the others are just in the previous app on my previous Ipad.
Awful UX
I found this one of the most complex apps I have ever encountered. There is nothing intuitive about it whatsoever. So many places to go and look for tutorials on their website but even there it's confusing. It should be renamed knit confusion.
