Okay except...

...the sizing issue. There are straight needles that are 9 inches in length and the system doesn't have an option for that. It also doesn't account for interchangeable needles. I wish there was a scan options, where I could just scan the barcode on the bag and the data would input itself. Other than that, it's been helpful.

OK Except for the Synching Issue

Since it was much easier to enter the needle data into my iPad (vs the tiny iPhone screen), I put all the info in the iPad. However, it doesn't synch the info to the iPhone which is where I really wanted it to reside. Always have the phone in the yarn store, rarely have the iPad. So this makes this app kind of useless unless I reenter everything… Or unless I do the screen shot workaround that another poster mentioned. Think I'll just get a better app that synchs, though.

Not quite satisfied

This app could be so much better! I would nice if we can add how much needles we have and also add crochet hook. I tried the note option and it does not show what you wrote unless you "modify" it.

My Needles Disappeared!

I love this app until all my entry disappeared. Not sure what happened or when it happened.

Okay but...

While easy to enter and view, others have mentioned sizing issues. Very true. Simple: add in an option to create your own... Not just the drop down.

Also a crocheter: apps in the works? Or adding hooks to the list? 95% of my inventory is in but those other pesky few are the ones I have trouble
remembering and have to maintain a hand written list.

Close, but needs some tweaks

This app would be perfect if a) the length of your DPN & SPN could be displayed, b) you could also add crochet needles, & c) you could view details without going into edit mode, especially notes. Otherwise it is simple and just the thing for the job!

Love it

Simple way to keep all of your needles organized by size, type and material

Great and Simple

Very easy to use! (However, I have 8 inch long DPN's, and I'd like to be able to select that length instead of having to type it as a note.)

Love! Just one thing...

I love this app, use it regularly, especially when i am at the store picking up new supplies for a project. I can check this app and see, without eye balling, what size needles I already have. It's awesome!

The only thing I would like better was if it would back up online, so that when I get a new phone, I can download all the needle sizes instead of having to re-add them (I have over 100 needles). If it could do this, I would give it 5 stars!

brilliant!

I love that it organizes my needles in size order no matter how I add them. I can give it a quick browse to see if I have the right length and size that I need for the project I'm about to start. xx

Lost Needles

I have entered my entire needle inventory a handful of times and the next time I open the app... there gone. Lost. Never to be seen again. If this app could do its very basic concept I would really enjoy it, but until that day...

Upgrade please!

Useful to have at hand, esp at the yarn store; however some logical amendments would be helpful.

Home list needs units for sizes
Units should be interchangeable
Needle length options are limited
Add cable needles and crochet hooks

I REALLY like this app, please make some useful modifications

Needles

Great idea, but needs 2.5m size. Would also like to be able to tap Comment balloon to view, and to list circular tips and cables.

Love the skull and needles icon!

Horrible, didn't save my data correctly

I entered all my needle sizes and then went back to look at my inventory to find it was wrong. I edited the wrong needles (for instance it had 2 listings of DP size 11 needles when I had entered 10 and 11) and it wouldn't save my data correctly.

Great start

I would give this 5 stars if it had 9" options in circular and single point. I have more than 4 sets that size. Overall a good foundation.

Love it!

I'm very happy with this app, finally I can get all that I need in one trip. As a notorious duplicate needle buyer, this app is amazing! The reason I only gave 3 stars, despite my love of the concept, there are some minor issues, typos, and lack of options. Two main examples being; 8 inches for your needle length not being an option, and not having size 2.5mm available (currently reads 2.4mm). If these simple changes were implemented, I would give 5 stars in a heartbeat. Overall a successful app. Happy Knitting!

Good idea

Great app. Would be great for you to add all sizes or create flexibility. Missing 9 in and 36 in, which many my needles are. Great idea though.

Good app

Good app! It makes it easy to keep track of my needles. I just started knitting, and have tons of needles :) The one thing that it would make this better would be to be able to see the comments when you check the needles on the main list.

:-)

Lose the store locator feature! Anyone can go into their maps & search "knitting". Please lose that ridiculous feature & pretty please add yarn??? :-) I also wish the "notes" bubble would open if I tapped on it instead of having to go into "edit notes" to read my notes.

Problems: I have needles that are 9" long & circular needles that are 36" long. Those sizes were not available as options in this app. Please allow users to enter size & length or just offer more options.

I will re-rate & give this app 5 stars when it loses the store locator & offers more size & length options.

PS- I love the skull & needles icon!!! Funny.

Awesome app!

I think this is a great app, I'm sort of a beginner knitter, so I don't have a lot of needles, but I still forget what I have and don't have, so this is really helpful when I'm at the store!
But, I think it would be nice to be able to tap the little notes bubble next to the needle size you have notes on, instead of having to go into the needles information and tapping "edit notes" to see your notes.
