Cute and low stakes. But I’ve been playing so long I’ve bought everything in the shop and most “new” items you can win in fashion week I already have. Updates have slowed way down, it’s been months of infinite levels. Seems like creators don’t care anymore to update, must be a sweet deal with Netflix. Go ahead, play this fun game, just know you will hit a plateau. ### 4/5 — New Worlds *2026-05-22, version 1.55.177666* I have been waiting for 2 months. For new worlds. I am on 5240 and nothing updated and nothing ### 3/5 — 楽しいけど *2026-05-13, version 1.54.177643* 新しい世界がなかなか開かないのが残念バージョンアップをもっと早くしてほしい ### 3/5 — Hitting the ceiling *2026-05-05, version 1.54.177643* Love the game and played daily. Level releases appear to be increasingly infrequent. Not sure how much longer I can just sustain on the infinite levels with the same items to purchase for the last 200 levels. Make it easier to go back and play earlier levels rather than infinite scrolling. Knittens is one of the few threads my Netflix subscription is hanging on by. ### 2/5 — Why *2026-04-13, version 1.54.177643* Looks like a promising game but why do I have to have Netflix just to play the game seems a waste of money ### 4/5 — Fashion Week *2026-03-09, version 1.53.177637* I am not liking Fashion Week. Why can't we vote for our Cats and I see other cats that win all the 5 stars and. Let's face it they are not that good. Plus if we don't win. Why can't we use the coins to buy the reward with it. If we don't get the 5 stars ### 2/5 — Ok, but never updates *2026-01-04, version 1.50.177600* Disappointed they have added dogs! Not sure if the other participants in the fashion show are actual players or bots. Most of the time I do not get the opportunity to win the clothing item in the Friday as it doesn’t even show most of the time. Been waiting for new levels for weeks. This keeps happening. Just stuck on infinity level. Good thing no ads as on Netflix. Please sort it out ### 4/5 — Add more cats, lose the dogs *2025-11-27, version 1.49.177590* This game is adorable and fun, but I admit I don’t like it as much with the addition of dogs. It doesn’t fit the vibe of the game, instead more cats should have been added. ### 2/5 — It’s Called Knittens! *2025-11-23, version 1.49.177590* Knittens means it’s about knitting and kittens, not freaking dogs!! I responded to your survey and I expressed how much I hated the dogs idea. Come to the Knittens sub on Reddit and talk to us, the true fans, and show us that you actually care… I’m so glad I cancelled my Netflix subscription as it wasn’t worth it anymore! So many people were disappointed by the canine update because we are CAT PEOPLE, who usually don’t get along with dogs. Know your audience and conduct a better market research! Send the dogs to their own app (call it Knit Wuff if you want) in a galaxy far far away from me and I might come back. A separate app about dogs only might actually get you more users and more money from Netflix. PS. We could also use more frequent and faster updates with new levels and higher quality fashion items and also new fashion reward items (too many repeats and recycled stuff lately). ### 4/5 — Disappointed *2025-11-19, version 1.49.177590* I love playing this game, I’m a cat person and it’s lots of fun. I’m really disappointed that dogs have been added. I’m not a dog person and I feel it’s taken some of the fun out of playing. Could you not make a different game for canines and leave the felines alone? ### 2/5 — Why do you put puppies in a game about Kittens... *2025-11-18, version 1.49.177590* Used to love it but there is no option to play without netflix licence. Also some improvements are needed thus the two stars plus why the puppies??? Anyway parking it now. And honestly pups are cute but they belong to a separate game called something like pup-cakes... Registered trademark, please do not use this name without my permission and licencing fees. Thank you. ### 4/5 — No dogs *2025-11-15, version 1.49.177590* I hate that there are now dogs in the game. Give them their own game. I wish this one was still just cats. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Avoid *2026-08-19, version 1.55.177666* Another pointless match 3 that starts out fun and then becomes unplayable. I’m assuming it’s because the developers hate people as there is no reason to make it like this. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Infinity again, still can’t win weekly prize *2026-05-31, version 1.55.177666* No new levels for over three months so given up. Will do the fashion vote as fun but main game no point. Started playing “simons cat”, difference is incredible. no ads and game has quick reaction speed. ### 1/5 — Infinity again, still can’t win weekly prize *2026-03-16, version 1.53.177637* Come on guys, this is bloody frustrating. Sure other players are bots. ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2026-02-07, version 1.52.177619* My iPad is up to date 17.7.10. I deleted app and reinstalled and it still doesn’t work. When I click I get a black screen then it shuts down. Please fix ### 1/5 — Latest update broke the game *2026-02-07, version 1.52.177619* Since the latest update dropped, the game won’t load at all. I tap on the icon, get a grey screen for a second, then the game crashes and I’m kicked back to the Home Screen. Reinstalling doesn’t fix it. ### 1/5 — No Dogs; makes phone hot, drains battery; add Dark Mode *2026-01-07, version 1.51.177607* Why are there dogs? Get rid of the dogs — No Dogs … and add Dark Mode. Makes phone hot, drains battery. Please. Fix this. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Kitten game *2025-12-18, version 1.50.177600* I give no stars! I use to enjoy original knittens game w just Kittens and it was a free game, not connected w Netflix etc: They ruined an awesome kitten game! ### 1/5 — Please remove dogs! *2025-11-26, version 1.42.177488* It called Knittens! Please remove dogs, ge t their own game, don’t mix up the pets! I completely lost interest in fashion week an in the gam3 itself! Bad choice! ### 1/5 — Get rid of the dogs *2025-11-16, version 1.49.177590* New update has ruined the game for me, dogs should have gotten their own game. Imo nly kept the Netflix sub for Knittens. Cancelled and deleted, such a shame devs didn’t listen to people saying they didn’t want this addition. ### 1/5 — Abandon *2025-11-15, version 1.42.177488* Din pacate suntem obligati sa abadonam acest joc. Nu pare corect sa nu mai putem accesa de pe un model mai vechi de telefon. Pare o presiune comandata asupra utilizatorilor pentru achizitia telefoanelor mai noi. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fav Game *2026-06-15, version 1.55.177666* Truly one of my favorite games of all time. ### 5/5 — Love the dogs *2026-04-10, version 1.54.177643* Maybe I’m the only one but I started playing bc of the dogs and I love that this game has both dogs and cats! It’s so adorable to dress them up in clothes and is fun! ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-02-05, version 1.52.177619* Suddenly crashing on my ipad. Agree that I loved it more when it was just cats. Give the dogs their own game ### 5/5 — Finally Puppies! *2026-01-06, version 1.50.177600* Edit: Did every single cat player really enter with all the same outfit this week (Jan 2-5)? Or are those umpteen entries just fake AI entries that we got oddly bombarded with? Almost everyone of them is in that old blue wave wig and dress. They’re not even new items! And almost all of them are white cats with the gold star choker. We really should have to knit at least one item. But a better idea is this: It’s clear that almost no dogs can win the fashion show anymore. I’m not anti-cat at all, but the way they speak about the dogs on the Reddit page is childish and awful and it’s just no fun with angry players. So can you separate the cats and dogs in the fashion shows please? Cat people, like cats, can’t really learn new things and apparently this is stressful for them, so we should help them. Just let the dogs have a category and the cats have a category. Please. *********** So glad you finally added the pups. They are adorable and show so much personality compared with the cats. Also, my pup hasn’t tried to sabotage my puzzle game once yet, and it happens in almost every level with the cats (this is a joke, but it’s also a thing). I know you polled us awhile ago about dogs, and it’s clear most of us thought it was a great idea. It is a knitting game with cats and now dogs too. If people are that upset about it, they seriously need to have their grown up cards revoked. Now if they only cared as much about the KNITTING part and actually employed some creativity with their fashion week outfits and KNITTED at least some parts of their entries… . That is an actual thing to gripe about. How many Santas, Christmas trees, and green velvet medieval outfits do we have to try to choose between to vote for? Keep up the good work! Woof! ### 5/5 — 5090 *2025-12-15, version 1.50.177600* More levels more often, please! ### 5/5 — 레벨이 다운 되었어요 *2025-12-04, version 1.50.177600* 재밌게 꾸준히 해오던 게임인데.. 구매한 강아지 두마리도 아이템도 사라졌네요 복구 해주세요 ㅠㅠ 겜 접어요 ㅠㅠ ### 5/5 — Love the dogs! *2025-11-24, version 1.49.177590* Been waiting for pups since you polled us awhile back! Thank you! Great little knitting game with pretty nice animations and selection of items! ### 5/5 — Finally Puppies! *2025-11-18, version 1.49.177590* So glad you finally added the pups.

Woof! ### 5/5 — Oradan kedicie mama veriyorum *2025-09-20, version 1.47.177548* Zararlı olmadığını biliyorum ama çok eğlenceli ### 5/5 — The board is shaking and makes me nauseous *2025-07-10, version 1.45.177524* Love the game, but please, remove the new animation where the whole board shakes. It’s making my head spin and causes nausea, I can’t play. I’ve been playing it for years, I’m on 4200-something level. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
