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.

Love this mag
Now I can download my favourite knitting magazine to my ipad mini and read anytime- brilliant!
Great Designs
I love this magazine. I look forward to each issue.
Brilliant!
Fabulous patterns right across the spectrum of men's, women's, children's clothing and furnishings. Beautifully presented. I look forward to each new issue.
Crashes continually.
Not usable as it crashed upon launch :-(
Problems
Busy knitting from January 2012 issue now it won't open , just goes blank ,contacted support , they are having problems , fix it please!
Wishing for better
From the few patterns and articles I can see, I wish I could see more. This site has definite systems issues. The downloads are SLOW. The setup and usage are not at all intuitive. Perhaps I'm simply spoiled by the Vogue site but as a zine this should be as easy as picking up a booklet to leaf through and get inspired.

Great mag and saves so much shelf space!
I've subscribed to the print version for years, but had to stop as I just didn't have the room to store them all. The digital version is great and means I can carry it wherever I go!

I like having the magazine digitally as my paper copies were taking up so much room. I haven't had any problems with it on my ipad, although the recommended software didn't work at all well. I wish we got the extras that paper subscribers get though.
Knit
Look forward to new magazine each month.
Easy to look at back issues and easy to purchase.
And you've always got your purchased issues in your archive.
No more looking at old dog eared patterns

Great app, mag looks glossy on screen, easy to zoom in articles. Love the extra images you get in the gallery. And it's with me all the time! All round fab!
Quality and inspiration
Knitting magazine offers fashionable and on trend patterns for all levels of knitters. The designs are beautifully photographed and the patterns are easy to follow. Every issue also has interesting and informative articles on everything from the latest catwalk trends to the historical development of the craft. Highly recommended.
