You can save a pattern link and add a photo of completed work or inspiration but these do not appear to show on any page. Formatting e.g. to edit time (if you forget to start and stop) is out with the fields over lapping so not all design functions can be selected. App has lots of potential but not there yet can’t wait till it is. ### 3/5 — Bugs *2018-11-11, version 1.2* It’s a good app But some bugs, keeps suddenly closing. The place to input the sizes are overlapped and not spaced out. Needs an update ### 3/5 — Wish it crossed platforms *2017-09-30, version 1.2* I have the app on my iPhone and iPad but they don’t share,bummer ### 3/5 — Mixed feelings *2017-09-25, version 1.2* Absolutely loved this app until it didn't back up so when I loaded my new phone I've lost all my info. Now I'm devastated. ### 3/5 — Mixed *2017-08-20, version 1.2* I'm mixed on this app. I love the concept and the charts included. I am just learning and this seems very helpful. I think a few things would really improve the app overall. First, pictures! I want to keep track of my projects and what they look like; even after I send them away as presents. Better organization and input for your hooks and yarn. I would love to be able to scan the barcode to bring these up. Also, if there is no barcode being able to put a picture of the yarn or hook would be helpful! ### 4/5 — Good so far *2017-06-03, version 1.2* Seems very handy. Would be willing to pay 99 cents to get rid of ads, disappointed that this option isn't available. This app also needs a "Home" button that gets you back to the main screen. ### 3/5 — Just what I've been searching for! *2015-11-13, version 1.2* This app has it all...except the ability to sync with my iPad! Otherwise, I love it! ### 2/5 — Unable to install *2015-11-02, version 1.2* Looks exactly like the app I need, but I’m unable to install it on my iPhone. ### 4/5 — carol2c *2015-09-22, version 1.2* It would be wonderful to be able to sort/put in size or colour order the lists of needles, hooks and yarn. Is that possible? Otherwise a great app to keep everything together. ### 3/5 — Uugghhhh *2015-09-15, version 1.2* Just typed in over 100 skeins of yarn into my iPhone and it does not sync to my iPad. Please make this feature available. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Where’s everything gone?? *2022-02-08, version 1.2* Every project that I had notes on have disappeared! How is that possible? All my notes were there a few days ago and today - nothing - all gone. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2019-04-23, version 1.2* I’m attempting to use this app and seems to crash a lot. I like the idea of having a place to keep track of what needles I own but what I don’t like is this app isn’t able to sort them. I understand it’s free so I’ll keep trying to use but it’s not super techie in what I would want. ### 1/5 — Timer not accurate— very dissatisfied *2018-04-28, version 1.2* I’ve been using the app for about a year now and loved it at first because it would time how long it took me to make a project. However I recently started looking at the timer since I’m working on a project for a client and I realized it keeps deleting time. When I closed the app last night, it said I had done exactly 7 hours of work. I open it today and it says 6 hours and 29 minutes. This is not the first time it’s done that, but this is the first time it matters. Will be deleting the app since it doesn’t perform it’s intended function ### 1/5 — Hmmm? *2018-03-22, version 1.2* I was thrilled when I found this app. I looked at all that was on it and being a very organized person I knew it was for me I posted a used all the time pattern, and then got ready to use it. I closed the app, then opened it and could not find my pattern. I will keep trying, if is probably my bad! ### 2/5 — Keeps Crashing *2023-03-20, version 1.2* I’ve had this on my iPad for ages but never really used it up until now. I’m adding my needles and the app keeps crashing. Also, I can delete a double entry…no clue how to or how to go about it. ### 2/5 — Eh *2018-10-27, version 1.2* The concept is good. Execution is lacking. The project timer resets if you need to update project settings (for example to change repeat row settings) and you’ve been working on a project for more than 60 hours. Pictures of patterns are uploaded at a microscopic size so I have to zoom a ridiculous amount to see the pattern. On the iPhone, if you're doing a pattern row repeat, you can't see the row count once you get into double digits. I like the idea but this definitely isn't the end all be all. I'm glad I didn't pay for it! ### 2/5 — Love the concept, but can't figure it out *2017-02-18, version 1.2* Can't seem to link yarns or hooks to a project. The idea is just what I've been looking for, if only I could get it to work ### 2/5 — It's not pretty and it's not intuitive *2017-01-12, version 1.2* I don't feel like this app is well organized and, as a previous reviewer remarked, it is bare bones. It has been developed, it seems, so that we can track our projects, but I can't get it to recognize my crochet hook sizes for the projects that I'm creating. Either I'm not as app-savvy as I thought I was, or this app doesn't work properly. I'm leaning toward the latter. ### 2/5 — Thought it would be THE one *2016-01-18, version 1.2* I had been using Knit Minder until my phone was updated and the app was no longer kept current and I lost years worth of tracking. I've been searching for an app to replace it. I was hopeful when I found this one. I started entering in my hooks and needles and had to manually enter everything that should be in pull-downs (length, material, and sizes). If that weren't bad enough it doesn't sort the list by size! I'm not going any further. I'll keep looking. ### 2/5 — Crashes, loses data - too buggy *2016-01-05, version 1.2* What an awesome app this would be, if it worked. I entered most of my needles, then it crashed while I was in a project view, and now all the needles are gone. I've also tried to link yarn and needles to projects, and this adds an empty link, then crashes, every time. So disappointing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tracking supplies *2020-11-12, version 1.2* I use this solely for tracking my yarn stash, needles and hooks. For that, it is perfect. It works well without having to be connected to wi-fi/cellular. ### 5/5 — Does more than count! *2017-08-08, version 1.2* Fantastic little app - apart from counting stitches/rows, this little beauty allows you to add projects, has crochet & knitting abbreviations, charts for needle & hook sizes , ruler, stitch calculator and plenty more! ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-06-13, version 1.2* Would be totally lost without it. ### 5/5 — Great Organizer! *2017-04-12, version 1.2* Love the App - really keeping me organized and focused! Would love to see a barcode scanner to import yarns :) ### 5/5 — Perfect with all essentials *2016-11-15, version 1.2* Bare bones but not lacking ### 5/5 — All-in-One *2016-05-14, version 1.2* Great App!.... Everything you need in one place 😊👍🏼! ### 5/5 — This app has it all *2015-10-12, version 1.2* I LOVE this app. I dont have to write anything down to keep track of my progress on my project. I can upload Picts of the pattern so I always have it handy for reference. Yes, it would be nice if it would sync between devices, but this really is the only app that has everything you need. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-08-26, version 1.2* Just love this app. Everything I was looking for all in one app. Would love to see Pinterest linking as well... Great app. You nailed it ### 5/5 — Super *2015-01-24, version 1.0* Just what I needed to track my projects and yarn stash! ### 4/5 — Great! *2017-09-04, version 1.2* This app looks good , I would really like if we could get to upload PDF patterns. Need to take screen shoots of my pattern an change it often 😕 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
