I’ve lost everything twice trying to use both my phone and iPad. Added things in the app on my phone at work, got home and iPad won’t sync. Things added to iPad won’t sync to the cloud to add to my phone. Ended up deleting it from my phony and will just use my iPad. Though, I hope this is fixed soon as I don’t want to lose anything from my iPad. Other than that, I love the app. Keeps it all organized, easy to read my patterns, adds a counter and tracks my time. ### 2/5 — Very confusing *2026-08-13, version 4.5.4* I’m not sure if I missed something but every single crochet “tutorial” and pattern they have on their discover page brings me to a website and I have to scroll down through someone’s auto biography of their crochet journeys and then I finally get to the pattern that I was looking for. It’s too much of a time and money waster imo. I thought I was paying a subscription for easy to follow tutorials, tips and tricks. Maybe this app isn’t for absolute beginners (even though it gave that option at the set up menu 🤷🏻‍♀️) All the more power to those that find this app helpful. It’s just not for me. ### 3/5 — AI *2026-08-09, version 4.5.3* Overall good app but the ai patterns are terrible and that is making it less enjoyable have actual people making patterns not ai please. ### 3/5 — LOVE this app, but many bugs *2026-08-07, version 4.5.3* I absolutely love this app and wish I could give it 5 stars. It’s the best crotchet app I have found, and I have greatly enjoyed using it to keep me motivated to keep up my crotchet project streak. However, I was sad to discover many bugs within the first week of using this app. I spent countless hours adding 50+ completed projects, 80+ patterns, projects in progress, and my entire stash of yarn and supplies information to this app, only for everything to suddenly disappear. My entire username and profile disappeared, along with everything else. Support has not been responding to my emails about trying to get my profile and all my info back. I gave up and spent the entire day re-entering EVERYTHING I have lost. In addition to this issue, I often find the app kicking me out of the app when I am in the middle of entering a new pattern or completed project, and having to re-open the app to restart the process all over again. I want to continue using this app since I love the layout and the community, but I am afraid of all my hard work and information disappearing out of the blue again. ### 4/5 — Gute Anleitungen aber nicht perfekt *2026-08-05* Tolle Anleitungen, aber wenn man nicht bezahlt gibt es einige Einschränkungen und die Anleitung die ich ausprobiert hab ist komplett auf Englisch und etwas unübersichtlich, wodurch es etwas kompliziert wird. ### 4/5 — Good app *2026-07-30, version 4.5.0* This app is good but I thought I have you a pattern with the pictures but you can post pictures of your work. ### 4/5 — Good app *2026-07-25, version 4.5.0* Good app for the community of crocheters. Love looking at everyone’s progress & time spent on projects. I love searching up the patterns. I do wish having the free version was a bit better. I think a lot more of the stuff should be free to use at least once or twice a day. But other than that nothing to really complain about. Love the app! ### 5/5 — Great Resource for my crochet projects! *2026-07-24, version 4.4.1* I love that this is free , gives me a place to store patterns and helps me to organize patterns, supplies , etc . An amazing App! ### 5/5 — Be *2026-07-20, version 4.4.1* Organizing is the best ### 4/5 — Saved patterns *2026-07-20, version 4.4.1* I can only save 10 patterns and I don’t want to buy a subscription, it’s rlly annoying as if I could save more it would be 5 stars 😭😭😭 ### 3/5 — Good, if you don’t use Smart Patterns *2026-07-17* This app is super convenient for storing and tracking my patterns. The Smart Pattern feature is super bugged - 9 times out of 10 the pattern is an AI hallucination. It just defeats the purpose, because you have to check that the entire pattern matches the source anyway. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — AI slop app *2026-08-18, version 4.6.0* App opens immediately to the same stupid vibe coded AI quiz that every new app these days forces you to take before railroading you into a “free trial” of a subscription which is difficult to get around to simply access the free version of the app. I don’t want to take a quiz about how the app can help me improve. I want a stitch counter ### 1/5 — not for me *2026-08-16, version 4.6.0* kept asking me to pay for the subscription and couldn't do a lot if i didn't get it (couldn't save hooks or supplies and had limited yarn storage) also had ai (smart patterns) and i think now since most creatives are against ai its a bit odd to put ai in an app specifically for creatives. also this isn't really loopsys fault but when i went to the discover section it didn't have as many tutorials as i would like. if it helps you keeps track of your projects or stash cool but i would not recommend ### 1/5 — Misleading advertising *2026-08-14, version 4.5.4* This app looks so cute and helpful and is advertised as free, however it is not free. The app would not let me continue once free version without using the free trial for the subscription. It should not be advertised as actually free because it’s not. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2026-08-07, version 4.5.3* When I first subscribe, there was all kinds of patterns and I saved a few, but when I went back to look at other patterns, I can’t figure out how to do it and I’ve pressed every button on here ### 1/5 — Bait and switch *2026-08-04, version 4.5.2* Believe the negative reviews. It’s NOT free, you WILL be charged. ### 1/5 — Problème avec l’appli *2026-08-01* Bonjour, il y a un problème. L’appli se ferme quand je clique sur l’une des options dans la question comment avez vous connu cette appli au moment de l’inscription **Developer response:** Désolé pour ça : il y avait un bug, qui est maintenant corrigé ! ### 1/5 — No Free!!! *2026-07-29, version 4.5.0* Says it’s free but they left out, for one week. There’s enough free stuff online, I’m not paying for it. ### 1/5 — Deceptive advertising *2026-07-29, version 4.5.0* I can’t write a review on the app, because I haven’t used it. Before you can use the app, you MUST agree to the free trial of the Pro version. This was specifically marketed as being free, and there IS a free version. However, I have no interest in trying out an upgrade when I’ve yet to see the basic one. And “cancel any time “? Sure, if I see the notification that I’m running out of time. It’s a bait and switch. This may be a great app, but this tactic has totally turned me off. ### 1/5 — Money, Money, Money *2026-07-26, version 4.5.0* Trying to bill me after I cancelled the subscription. They have tried billing me twice after I had already cancelled prior to the trial period ending. Enough already! ### 1/5 — Subscription *2026-07-17, version 4.4.1* I don’t want to sign up for a trial subscription free or not ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very useful for crocheters and knitters *2026-08-17, version 4.6.0* I love this app and I use it all the time. My brain cant think what to crochet and Loopsy gives me ideas. I would recommend this app if you crochet, or knit ### 5/5 — Please download this app! *2026-08-14, version 4.5.4* I seriously love this app! So many incredible features! It’s so nice to not have to use albums on my phone with screenshot after screenshot! It’s so well organized and easy to use! I cannot rave enough about this app! ### 5/5 — Impressed! *2026-08-13, version 4.5.4* I haven’t been using it yet for more than 24 hours, but so far i LOVE how i am able to track and work on my projects. Im very excited to begin logging my yarn stash too. The features are amazing and I appreciate it!! ### 5/5 — Loveeee! *2026-08-11, version 4.5.4* I was hooked (ha) and ready to commit to the year subscription after just a week of looking through/using the app. Already used it to track a project, I love the stitch and row counter and that you can import patterns from most places. I also love that it keeps getting updates, the creator is really trying to make the app even better than it already is and it shows! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-08-08, version 4.5.3* I can’t believe I haven’t discovered it sooner! ### 5/5 — Just Learning *2026-08-07, version 4.5.3* I’m just now joining, but it looks like a good learning opportunity! ### 5/5 — I love this app *2026-08-05, version 4.5.3* But it needs more free patterns please 🙏 ### 5/5 — Peak *2026-08-01, version 4.5.2* Peak but I wish it was free ### 5/5 — Crochet *2026-07-26, version 4.5.0* So far so good ### 5/5 — Best app for crochet/knitting *2026-07-25, version 4.5.0* Update 7/24/26: I just updated my app and iCloud sync works like a dream! Now I can track my progress and watch my shows all from my iPad! Thank you!! I have have absolutely loved using the app and currently have the pro plan! I have so many places I find patterns and to be able to save them all in an app that tracks my projects/progress is the best! All around I’m am very happy with the features, the community, and the tools. I’m still having trouble with the iCloud sync for my iPad but I mostly use my phone anyway! Couldn’t ask for a better app for crochet. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
