### 5/5 — A lot of help!

*2024-11-02*

It’s unbelievable how much this app can help, because you can see how your proyect gonna be. I love this app.

### 4/5 — Must Have But Incomplete

*2024-03-17*

I’m in love with this app. Took me only a few seconds to plan a whole argyle project. I struggle with the planned pooling website on mobile devices and saving those projects is glitchy. But I still need to use the website sometimes even though I prefer this app because the app has no way to design a project in the round. Is there a way I can support the developer? Adding and editing colours is so easy!! Saving and sharing my patterns is seamless!! Thank you!!

### 3/5 — I don’t understand

*2023-03-03*

Can I add more colors besides 4? I need more than that

### 4/5 — Very helpful app

*2019-10-21*

This app is very handy for planning a project. Saves lots of time and effort. 
It would be great to be able to choose a flat project (back and forth) or a circular project (in the round)

### 3/5 — Colors

*2019-02-16*

I don’t understand why you can only use 7 different colors. I have yarn that and 10 colors and can’t use the app to plan something amazing.

**Developer response:** Thank you for this feedback.  Today, a new version has been released, which supports up to 12 different colors.  Enjoy =)
