Too basic to be a subscription

I can make something comparable on excel. Developer is asking for too much money for what the app does

So handy

I just came across this app and it is exactly what I was looking for. I can keep track of all my different craft projects of different types, since I have the horrible habit of starting too many at once. So easy to use and there’s even a section to track your expenses and profit of all your projects. Great for full time crafters and market stall holders

Cannot effectively try the app

The free version of the app says you can add two projects but when I try to add my first project I can only get to an upgrade screen. I can’t tell if the app is worth paying for without any functionality.

Not really a free option

So I am a serial project starter for many things and I want somewhere to keep track and encourage completion. This app was the first thing that was recommended and it appeared to be free so I thought I’d give it ago. However you can only add two projects for free before you have to pay (not that the cost is too expensive at £2.99 per month) so I feel putting as a free app is very misleading. Might be a great app if you’re making money from your crafts but not for me.

Just what I’m looking for

Love it so far
