### 4/5 — Useful app for knitters

*2024-07-28, version 4.3.1*

Very useful for keeping track of needles in particular and also yarn used for different projects. Free version is limited , paid version expensive for the casual knitter.

### 4/5 — Very useful

*2023-07-05*

Of all the knitting apps I’ve tried, this one is the most useful. Keep track of yarn, needles, and projects with pdf or website urls pulled up alongside the row counter. 

Only complaint is that I have to re-type the yarn and needles I use when I create a project instead of selecting them from a drop down list of my stash.

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-08-29*

Only used it for a short while but am finding my way around it and finding it pretty good.
An added option of being able to write on the patterns with a apple pen or something would be a great added bonus as I’m always scribbling on my patterns.

### 5/5 — This works the way it should

*2021-08-16*

I was using the original Knitting Buddy for several years and it was good, but this one is even better. There is so much you can do on it. I don’t think I fully utilize it and I crochet more than knit, but it works for that, too. I’m very happy with it.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2021-06-14*

Great app!

### 5/5 — Best app for crochet

*2021-04-26*

I have tried others but this app gives me everything I need and want to complete all my crochet projects

### 5/5 — Works so well!

*2020-12-15, version 2.7.1*

Really love this app. If you do any sort of fibre art, this is the best app for keeping track!

### 4/5 — Custmizable Counters Needed

*2020-11-18, version 2.6.2*

This is almost what I’m looking for. I’d love to see the ability to add extra counters that you can label.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-09-07*

I love it. It’s very useful. Since I always doing multiple projects. I can still check the size of needle and hook I was using on each one. Thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Like this app

*2020-06-02*

This is just what I’ve been looking for. It’s getting better all the time.
