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.

Game changer!

This app has helped me be so much better organized and saved paper! I love it!

Not like the older version

Which was intuitive, had tools you could customize. It was a joy to use.

Then you came out with this one. Not half as good as the original.

And, as I decided to bite the bullet and see if the benefits of the original were buried, I tried to import all the patterns I had in the original. No way to do that.

So I still use what you call legacy version, I call it perfection. The new one? Meh!
