Charged me

This app charged me as soon as I started the 7 day trial. And when I tried to get a refund they sent me through hoops. Still haven’t received a refund. I don’t recommend.

Endloses Onboarding, Probeabo Zwang, unvollständige Übersetzung

Das Onboarding ist endlos, der Sinn vieler Screens für mich als Nutzer erschließt sich mir nicht. Die erste Werbemessage: Loopsy ist kostenlos für immer. Dann MUSS ich aber ein Probeabo abschließen, sonst kann ich das Onboarding nicht beenden. Das Probeabo ist kostenlos, aber ich muss es kündigen. Wieso kann ich nicht ohne Probeabo starten? Die Benutzeroberfläche ist zur Hälfte in meiner Sprache, aber es werden sehr viele (!) englische Texte angezeigt. Die Anleitung des Beanie zum Ausprobieren ist komplett in englischer Sprache und somit für mich nicht nutzbar.

Not a good app

I started a session to help with a crochet set I bought but it just showed the pic of the instructions the reason I started a session was to simplify the instructions because I don’t understand unless I did something wrong it’s a bad app I don’t recommend for beginners

Doesn’t actually upload the PATTERNS like how my recipe app works

I thought this app would work the same way as my recipe app, but it doesn’t. I had hoped it would strip all the ads and photos off the pattern website and display an easy-to-read version of the pattern. I’m truly bummed out.

Free version is very limited

The app is advertised as a free app without ever having to get the Pro version. Though it only let me add 3 yarns a 6 patterns without having to upgrade.

liars

was advertised as free (i was shocked in this economy) but it is all false advertising but you can’t do anything if you don’t pay for “premium”

Advertised specifically as free on Instagram but couldn’t get past the trial sign up screen

The ad on Instagram describes this as a free app “because they care about crafters” but on opening it I was shown a Loopsy Pro paywall with only a "Start my free week" button. I couldn't find any way to skip it, knowing these trials lead to sneaky hard to cancel auto subscriptions, so I never got to try the app at all.

The paywall's own comparison table lists a free plan (10 imports a week), so a free version clearly exists, but it isn't reachable. I'm not willing to hand over my card payment details just to look around, particularly when the free option is shown but unusable.

If the free tier is meant to work, please add a visible "Continue with free" or close option. Until then, this feels misleading.

Before I could begin…

I was excited to use this app, especially because it was advertised as “free to use “. However, I was charged $30 the second I downloaded it using their link from Instagram. Not cool.

Absolutely love this app

What fun it is to find a new site to continue me to grow in terms of a various number of crafts easy to use easy to navigate highly recommend

I can’t access free app

I have downloaded the app and would like to use the free version. For some reason I get through everything and then hit a screen asking for the free trial. I can’t see where to reject the free trial so unfortunately try the app.

Probably a good app but whoever designed the money side is manipulative.

The first thing you see when you open the app is a statement that Loopsy is free forever with no indication of conditions. Then at the end of the set up it forces you into trying the 7 day free trial if you want to try anything out. The only reason to not allow users to bypass the free trial that automatically converts into a paid subscription is if you want to get people to subscribe then forget to cancel in time, which is a scam.

So while the app may be awesome, the forced subscription is gross. It takes advantage of busy people and people who tend to forget, which is most people.

Just don’t get this app

It won’t let me cancel, I’ve tried weeks ago and it’s still trying to charge my card. SO DONT GET THIS APP

Freezes every time I open a project

I have tried to use it with 2 patterns now but it freezes each time I open one. I didn’t intend to pay for Pro but forgot to cancel in time so now I’ve paid for a year’s worth of a completely useless app.

No Patterns in app

This app takes you to different websites so you can search for patterns. Just like Google does for free.

Love to craft!!

New to Loopsey looking forward to getting creative 💕

This app is amazing but…

I wish that you didn’t have 10 things you can download onto the app each week.
But overall it is so good !!!!

Money taken out even though I canceled subscription

I don’t understand how Apple can take $60 out even though I’m not subscribed????

Stopped working once I stopped paying?

I paid for one month and it was cool but now that I cancelled my subscription, the app stopped working properly and keeps getting frozen.

Love this app!!

This app is SO helpful for tracking my crochet projects. I love the row counter widget on my phone lock screen for marking my progress. The developers of the app are very responsive to feedback and seem very committed to supporting both crocheters and designers. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

No Syncing or Back Up

Functionally I really liked Loopsy. But it would never sync across my devices. I could live with that. What I couldn’t live with was getting a new phone and losing all of my inventory and projects and statuses. I have cancelled the subscription especially since the company y stopped replying to me after my first inquiry on the syncing across devices. Very disappointing.
