Necklines always very large

I only ever use the machine knitting facility on this app and although it works very well for body sizes the necklines come out huge no matter what reductions are made to the instructions before the pattern is generated. This is even with an accurate gauge being entered and matched up. The latest issue of many was I asked it to make a pattern with a 2.5” depth neck for a jacket which ended up halfway down my chest and right across my shoulders, wasted so much yarn. Unfortunately I didn’t get a response when I emailed. Just stick to cut & sew for necklines and you will be ok. I have seen other people comment on this issue in Machine Knitting groups online but otherwise it’s a good app.

Knits that don't fit

Trying the free pattern I can't knit the garment I want in the yarn I want or the size I want, using the measurements I need. So, how do I know if the paid version does what I need it to do? And that I can produce a knit that fits 🤷🏻‍♀️

My review.

Remove app
I am unable to navigate and would like a refund. I purchased the upgrade thinking it would help my understanding but it didn’t. Please. I’m so confused. Thank you

WORTHLESS

I would give zero stars if I could. First of all, the app told me I need 401 yards of yarn for a men’s sweater. Then it told me to cast on 24 stitches for the back. The free trial did not give me enough information for me to know whether it would suit my needs, so I downloaded the paid version and this is what I got. $14.99 down the drain. 🤬

🙁

Impossible to use: the app keeps crashing every time I try to open it. And apparently I can’t ask for a refund. Not happy at all…

Paid for premium, not premium

I paid for premium. The app wouldn’t create new patterns. It did for years and now it won’t. It keeps closing and shutting down on me. I reset my phone, still won’t work. I deleted the app and tried to re-install and now I no longer have premium and I still can’t create patterns. Buggy.

Constantly Closes

YES I paid $15 for the premium about 1 week ago, today is 1/27/2024. Created a pattern and each time I go to open it the APP CLOSES each and every time without fail. Apple used to have more refined developers who support their app.

I say this because other review have stated this as an issue, I purchased anyway thinking it would have since been resolved and hasn’t. Neither has the developer responded to prev customer query.

Please fix this, so many awesome features, measurements & everything for something so minor to ruin all the developed efforts😔

In the end please advise on a fix or kindly refund.

I didn’t cry this much when I learned to knit

Glitchy and completely unusable. Don’t go premium, just take 15 bucks and flush it.
Took many, many try’s to get a pattern and never saw it because any time I choose my saved pattern the app closes. Abysmal.

Response from developer

Sorry that you have experienced this issue, this will have been specific to the combination of settings for this particular pattern as the app usually works without problems. I use it myself, it works! I have released updates recently that may have fixed your problem. I wish you had contacted me before writing this review, to give me the chance to investigate the problem and fix it. If you are still experiencing issues please contact me via the contact form on my website KnitsThatFit.

Amazing App for Custom Sweaters

I have been trying to create my own sweater knitting patterns and was using formulas, books, spreadsheets etc. until I found this app, which magically creates a pattern with so much flexibility. The application designer was very (!!) responsive to my questions. I highly recommend this app, it’s amazing and has so many features!

BEWARE

When downloading the App I got a confusing pop-up asking to confirm payment details. Turns out it’s an ad for Alltainment, which is a scam. They now have my credit card details. Had to cancel my card. Not happy!

Works great for machine knitting

I use this app for knitting on my LK150. So far everything I’ve made has fit and the calculations have been just fine. If I have a complicated lace pattern I might make the garment a bit bigger but that’s just me. Great app!

Purchased upgrade and received nothing

I purchased the upgrade as soon as I bought this so I could design what I wanted, and I was still limited to the free version. I’m going to as Apple for my money back

Disappointed

I paid $4.99 for the sweater generator. I could not use it. Every move I made was limited by an add pushing the more expensive version. If $4.99 is not the price then don’t sell a $4.99 version. It was the most disgusting and frustrating app I’ve ever purchased. Keep the money if it’s so important, I deleted from my phone and wish I could delete it from the cloud!

Response from developer

I don’t know what you purchased, but I don’t sell $4.99 version!

Wanted too much personal info

Could not try it out without entering my credit card info. Very small print listed the price at nearly $50.00 per MONTH. That is just insane.

Knits that fit app

Not worth taking a chance of paying for this! With such limited options to see what might work it’s impossible to think of buying it. The sizes offered as options are totally wrong. Adult womens large has a bust size of 35 inches and 39 inch waist??? If that is the sample it is totally wrong so why would anyone pay for this?

Impossible website!

Having great trouble to manage it, so gave up!

Well worth the price

What a brilliant app, with the pro upgrade you have everything you need to make an endless variety of sweaters and cardigans, handles lacy patterns from your favourite pattern books and incorporates them into the stitch counts. I had a couple of issues which Jacqueline fixed within hours, thank you… ;) The instructions could probably be made a bit more readable with formatting, and the counter doesn’t survive phone restarts, but other than that it’s 5 stars from me.

The math is completely broken

I bought the premium version and the gauge math is way off I’m trying to knit an adult sweater and with this math it would fit Barbie

Response from developer

Hi - firstly I would like to thank you for buying the premium version. I just wish you had contacted me so that I could help you with this issue! The problem is probably that you have entered the gauge settings for one inch instead of for 4 inches (the app asks for gauge to be measured and entered for 4 inches). This would result in the pattern being a quarter the size it should be. I use the app myself and the size is always spot on. I hope you will try this and that you enjoy using the app. If you are still having problems please contact me! (you can contact me via the form on the app website)

Absolutely 🥰 this app

I have been using this app for about 7 years and I love it. I’m a machine knitters and find the pattern charting superb. I take this program with me everywhere I go. When inspiration finds me I can make note of my ideas and work them out later. I love the note field I can note punchcard number and note other design elements I want to add as I knit The directions are easy to follow and the schematic is great. The customization of garment shape lets me knit a peplum top or a hooded cardigan. I added a slant pocket and it worked out great. Developer is responsive and friendly whenever I’ve had to talk with her. I frequently recommend the app to other knitters via Facebook. So much power in the palm of my hand. Thank you Jacqueline.

Thanks for the great review Liz, and for sharing the love of KnitsThatFit!

This app saved me countless hours! Thank you!

I have been trying to knit myself a sweater that fits and is flattering and it has been A JOURNEY. I’ve scoured ravelry, countless knitting books, and purchased multiple patterns. Knitting swatch after swatch to try to get the correct gauge, washing and drying them when I just want to sit and work on my project! Trying to find yarn that won’t break the bank… it’s exhausting! I was 3/4 finished the first sweater I’d ever knit for myself (I usually knit for my young son) and was saddened to see that it wasn’t turning out as I’d hoped. I’d already sunk so much time and work into it and I was desperate to save it. Back to the Internet, looking for information to change a neckline, and it brought me to your MIRACLE app! It does everything you could want, I don’t have to reknit countless swatches and I can use the yarn I want! This is a gem! There are a few small things I might change for ease of use, but this is worth every penny! Thank you so much for all of your hard work!
