### 5/5 — Love the magazine

*2018-12-13*

App has worked great, so far no problem.

### 1/5 — Don't bother, it never works when you need it to...

*2017-08-12*

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!

### 1/5 — App constantly crashes

*2016-06-14*

I'm a subscriper for some time, but the app crashes all time and is therefore completely useless. And no, to delete the app and install it again does not solve the problem! Maybe there is any support for this app somewhere?

### 4/5 — The Knitter Magazine

*2014-09-28*

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.

### 4/5 — Copies of patterns

*2014-07-20*

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.

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2014-01-17*

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.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2014-01-08*

I have been an avid subscriber of the magazine for years and love the convenience of this app.. especially when out shopping for yarn for one of the many patterns. ;-)

### 1/5 — No!!!

*2013-07-10*

This app does not work!
Will not even load!

### 1/5 — Crashes all the time

*2013-06-06*

I cannot see the magazine. Crashes all the time.

### 5/5 — Trendy creations

*2013-05-25*

I think this is not only the best knit guide but the app is easy to use and doesn't have any glitches
