### 5/5 — Great Knitting Tool

*2026-06-09, version 7.5.2*

I have been using this app for a few years now.  It makes keeping track of my progress easy.  It is nice to have my patterns accessible in a tidy location.  I can keep notes for the next time I use the pattern.  I recommend the app to everyone who knits or crochets.

### 5/5 — Perfect for designing knitted rugs

*2026-06-09, version 7.5.2*

I knit rugs for family and friends and this app enables me to make unique, individual designs

### 5/5 — I use KC on almost every project

*2026-06-07, version 7.5.2*

I love this app. The developer is great, he listens if you have problems. It is perfect for keeping track of rows, especially on charts.

### 1/5 — Instantly hard to use

*2026-03-27, version 7.5.2*

Is this an app? A document? When I open the app my saved files open on my phone. When I go to make a chart the lines I entered are being doubled. The chart doesn’t start with row 1 but with the total number of rows I want. I want to start with stitch 1 and then go to stitch 2, not start from stitch 26.

### 1/5 — absolutely hate it .

*2026-03-02, version 7.5.2*

dont recommend .

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2026-02-09, version 7.5.2*

Paid to use the non mirror feature , only works some of the time
Waste of money from my point f view
