There is no hand exclusion, so when you go to zoom in/out (or even just move around in the chart), you end up drawing random cells. There is no way to select and move cells without cut/pasting them. This would be okay - I guess - if the selection tool didn't work in the least helpful way possible. You have to select the exact dimensions of the area you copied or cut if you want it to paste correctly - else it cuts off edges. You can move your selection box around, which helps mitigate this, but if you have to move to a different area of the chart or zoom in/out, the selection box often disappeared (ref back to poor hand exclusion). Also, if your selection box is less than a 5x5 grid, you often cannot move it without changing the size of the selection. Also also, if you try to precisely move a selection box, it will take that holding down on the selection and will open a menu for changing the color of the stitches in the selection. This is infinitely irritating. You can flip/mirror stitches around both x and y axis, but there is no way to rotate them 90° (but you can rotate the chart 90°, but you still have to redraw the object you want in that orientation). I paid for the pro version, and I really wanted to like this app. But it’s just very frustrating to use for what I need it for. ### 4/5 — Möchte ich nicht mehr missen *2026-08-22* Ich erstelle damit meine Strickmuster. Es hat eine Weile gedauert, bis ich mich mit dem Programm vertraut gemacht hatte, ist aber aus meiner Sicht das beste, das derzeit zu finden ist. Vor allem bei Double Face Mustern ist das Einstellen der Maschenhöhe und -breite super. Nur schade, dass es nicht auf dem iMac läuft, denn große Muster (z.B. für eine Decke) sind am iPad eher mühsam. Auch die Reihenbegrenzung macht es etwas kompliziert. Alles in allem aber sehr gelungen! ### 3/5 — Keeps crashing *2026-08-18, version 7.5.2* I’ve had to restart several times ### 4/5 — Ersteindruck *2026-07-11* Ich habe die App gestern erst gekauft. Mich noch nicht ernsthaft mit beschäftigt. Aber was mich sehr beeindruckt ist, dass die App aus einem Foto eine zu fertigende strickschrift erstellt, indem sie das Foto in Kästchen aufteilt. Daher erstmal 4Sterne. Manko, alles in Englisch und die App hat sich jetzt schon einige Male aufgehängt ### 4/5 — nice overall *2026-06-11* but is there any way to make charts bigger than 500x500?? please help😭 ### 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 ### 4/5 — Good, but could be great with some improvements *2025-10-30* Truly a good app that helps me keep track of my many knitting and crochet projects and patterns, well worth the cost. My biggest complaint is the fact that the writing tool doesn’t work very well. It’s incredibly awkward and choppy, making it difficult to jot down a quick note with my Apple Pencil. Devs, if you could please fix this I’d be so delighted to change my 4 stars to 5 ### 2/5 — Unhelpful *2025-10-25, version 7.5.2* Probably the least informative app I’ve used and it seems that unless one upgrades there is no point in keeping it !! ### 4/5 — 沒有中文 *2025-08-24, version 7.5.2* 要是有中文就好了，馬上購買！ ### 2/5 — Knitting Chart problem *2025-04-16* When I first started to use this app it worked really well. Over the years it has become less reliable. The pattern repeat would not show correctly (initially it was an oft used and valued feature). Today I can't even start a new project at all. It seems to have slowly become corrupt. Help please. ### 5/5 — The best knitting app *2025-01-23, version 7.5.2* This is a great app. If I could be greedy, I'd like to be able to add my own knitting symbols. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-07-12, version 7.5.2* Keeps crashing out and closing on me ### 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 . ### 1/5 — Not for designers *2026-01-11, version 7.5.2* Written instructions do not work correctly for right side/wrong side when switching from flat to in the round. They read from left to right instead of right to left, but knits and purls are not reversed. This was a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Opens Automatically *2025-12-17, version 7.5.2* Whenever I open my files on my iPad, the app opens automatically and I am not using the app. I have to remove the app to open my files. Sorry I paid for the pro version. ### 1/5 — So lost *2025-11-06, version 7.5.2* I am so lost with this app. The home page seems to be my google drive? Unfortunately I paid for the pro version but have regrets. I just wanted an app that can download rivalry patterns but I can’t find anything specific on how to convert them into this app without it being just the download in my drive. Totally confused here. I have been using my procreate to keep track of my rows. Thought there may be something better out there…. ### 1/5 — If I could rate it lower I could *2025-08-02, version 7.5.2* Don’t download if you value your sanity. I had been on the app for a whole 30 seconds and had already received 2 “alerts” (calling them that as they were the same type of notification as low battery alerts and I don’t know the proper word for it) pushing me to upgrade to premium. Which typically I would ignore, however the app itself felt practically unusable for creating my crochet patterns. It was so frustrating I gave up and uninstalled the app. ### 1/5 — 프로 업그레이드 해도 기능 미작동 *2025-04-24* 다시 깔면 유료버전 사용 못함 ### 1/5 — Missing icons *2025-01-31, version 7.5.2* I wasn’t even able to test drive the free version as the icons at the top of the chart editor were missing. I could select them by tapping in the correct visually blank area, but it was too difficult for me to learn a new app when I could not see the symbols I was meant to use. And I understand that the developers need to be paid but for me $19.99 was just way too much especially for an app I couldn’t properly try bc of missing visuals components. ### 1/5 — 起動できない *2024-12-14, version 7.5.2* 購入したら起動出来なくなりました。アップデートしても変わらず。有料プラン良い値段なので返金して欲しいです。 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I’ve owned it for years *2026-07-17, version 7.5.2* I love it it’s perfect ### 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* 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. ### 5/5 — Wonderful app, pencil notation clunky *2026-01-02* Knitting chart is freaking amazing! I bought the full version because it is SO worth the money. I can make my own charts (even for crochet!!), I can import images and turn them into charts, organize my projects, add as many counters as I need for a project…and so much more. I do wish that the notations worked a little better. It’s near impossible to do any kind of writing on PDFs with my Apple Pencil. I really hope that this function gets updated at some point, because then I could really delete every other knitting app on my iPad. Everything else works so well, so it would be nice to get it writing properly as well. ### 5/5 — Incredible *2025-09-19, version 7.5.2* Seeing a lot of people moaning about the free version asking you to subscribe. Let’s stop morning about adverts on free things and start paying people for Their work I have the full pro-version one off price and it is epic ### 5/5 — Beste App für das Stricken *2025-07-24* Keine Zettelwirtschaft mehr oder Reihen zählen. Ich habe alle meine Strickanleitungen in dieser App organisiert. Noch nie war es so einfach Strickschriften zu folgen. ### 5/5 — Idea but still is a perfect app! DEVELOPERS, PLEASE READ *2025-05-19* I enjoy Knitting Chart so much since I can create my own designs for my cool crochet projects. If I could choose something that could make this app even better, it would be to add in 3 dementional (3D) projects to build up with either shapes or type in a detailed explanation and the app could create the magic! But this is just an idea for you guys to think about. This app is amazing and so helpful!!! ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-04-13, version 7.5.2* I use this for designing my sock patterns. I love it! I’ve tried other chart apps and I keep coming back to Knitting Chart! Well done! ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-04-09, version 7.5.2* Love it --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
