Love the magazine
App has worked great, so far no problem.
Don't bother, it never works when you need it to...
I have had this apps for a few years now because the magazine is good. However, it is the worst of all the apps I have: it keeps crashing, occasioanlly then stop loading at all. Then you ahve to reload it and download all your magazines again. Various versions of isos have mage no diference, getting new I apd has made no difference. Now I have a pattern on one of the issues which I want to use, but can I get to it? No! It is permanently frozen, I suspect I need to delete the apps and re-install...too fed up to stick with this, going back to hard back!

The Knitter Magazine
I love the digital edition of The Knitter Magazine
Being able to zoom into charts makes them much easier to read than the printed page.
However, 2 problems.
1) Working from an ipad screen, it is impossible to mark the line you are at on a chart and, on balance, that makes it harder to follow than working from a printed version. Printing the pattern off does help, but I think maybe the A4 paper from a printer is smaller than a hard copy magazine page would be - it certainly seems so.
2) after a while, the power saver of the iPad or other similar digital reader will switch to screen saver mode, which is a nuisance when you are following a chart or single page pattern.
It would be good if an index were produced annually so that subscribers can quickly locate one pattern within 12 issues.

Copies of patterns
I love the magazine and have the yarn to make the bretton t-shirt. However, there is no way I can print off a pattern hard copy, so couldn't take the knitting on holiday with me, and the internet receiver is playing up, so no I-pad pattern either.
This is not good, as I have paid for this mag and the patterns therein.

Fabulous
I absolutely love "Knitting", it is very interactive and fun to see the magazines & patterns each month. Also in having the ability to see some of the pictures in a 360 view, but also to be to go right to the website by clicking on the link in the article. Keep up the excellent work & I think by adding even more features it will continue to amaze.
