### 3/5 — Extremely annoying ads

*2020-05-10*

I mostly use this app to for the row counter. I also search for patterns and upload photos to projects. These functions all work well, except for the loud video ads that play unexpectedly, and don’t have a way to mute or close them because the X is obscured. Sometimes this means I can’t get back into the patterns and have to close and reopen the app to start over. The ads have woken up kids because of this stupid app, which means cranky family and less sleep for me.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. The free version is indeed ad-based. You may get support in our forum https://www.ravelry.com/groups/stash2go

### 3/5 — Good, but...

*2020-04-26*

Crashes more often than any other app that I use, but still the best interface for Ravelry available. The option to add a needle size to your own project is deeply flawed. There is no button to say you’re done, whether you choose a needle size or not. I had to re-start my phone to escape that dialogue.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. The free version is indeed ad-based. You may get support in our forum https://www.ravelry.com/groups/stash2go

### 2/5 — Freezes CONSTANTLY

*2019-10-13*

The only reason I didn’t rate 1 star is because I really rely on it for patterns. But I’ve literally spent hours with it crashing over and over, having to close the app every time I add a new filter on my pattern searches. It simply needs to be worked on, or there needs to be an alternative app to create some healthy competition. Please please fix these glitches, please. It’s a good resource for our knitting community, but whoever programmed it needs to get their act together

### 2/5 — Not working

*2018-12-22*

The iPad app is not working it locks up. I think it’s the adds.  Very disappointing. Please fix this.

### 2/5 — Poor layout

*2018-12-21*

I can’t load any subsequent pages because the ads are in the way and closing them doesn’t seem to work. This means only the first few patterns are available and everything after that can’t be seen.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work on iPhone

*2018-06-02, version 2.13*

I couldn’t read the settings page and couldn’t sign in to Ravelry. This app is not compatible with iPhone 8

### 3/5 — Love it but it always freezes up

*2018-05-11*

11-May-2018 I’ve emailed the Stash2go people twice now in the last couple of months, but nobody has ever replied. 

You cannot rearrange your queued items, which is extremely frustrating. It allows you to change the number and when you press done it leaves it in the same place. That is my most recent frustration.

March 2018 review -I love this app in the sense it has helped me to become much more organized, and love the many row counters per project!

Unfortunately this app is extremely slow, freezes up regularly, and crashes constantly. I’m not sure if that’s only the lite version, but it’s a really bad user experience.

I would love to try the full version, but if I pay for it, and it has the same problems, I would be beyond frustrated.

### 2/5 — My patience is wearing thin.....

*2018-02-27*

This app COULD be so cool. When it works, it’s useful and fun, BUT..... it takes forever to respond, routinely freezes for no apparent reason, and crashes completely every 15 minutes.  Seems like the designers’ goal is to reliably load ads (some of which blatantly obscure content), rather than reliably load Ravelry pages.....I keep hoping it will get better but, after months of frustrating user experience, I have lost my interest in ever paying to upgrade.  How can the designers not be mortified by this poor level of performance for so long?  I understand the need for ads but not when they interfere with basic functions. It’s ridiculous that they won’t fix this.....

### 3/5 — A bit sticky

*2018-02-06*

I like having easy mobile access to my Rav stash and projects, but I find that the app is.... sticky. Slow to respond and, as a result, I often double tap things thinking that my first attempt didn’t register. Then, of course, I’m jumping past where I wanted to be. I’ve been avoiding using the app because of this, but it’s occurred to me that the paid version might be more responsive and faster. I don’t really want to pay the money, though, if this isn’t the case.

Clunky and crashes. Kinda frustrating but i can at least find things.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2017-11-13*

It’s useful, I guess, but really frustrating. Super slow to respond, takes forever to function. But it does indeed do as the name suggests, and stashes patterns and such.

### 2/5 — Slow

*2017-08-29, version 2.7*

This app is amazing but sooooo slowwwww it's almost unusable :(

### 1/5 — Extremely buggy and awful to use

*2017-08-23*

Filters keep resetting and it lags badly. UI is 0% intuitive and very unfriendly

### 1/5 — Buggy bug bugs buggity bug

*2017-08-08*

Riddled with bugs. Basic search function crashes the app. Pretty disappointing. Glad I didn't bother paying for the full version.

### 1/5 — App wasn’t great to start with now barely usable

*2021-06-22*

Actually came back and dropped a star because of the ridiculous response from the developer. We all get that it’s ad based, I wasn’t complaining about that. I was complaining that the ads are screening up the UI AND UX enough so that I’d rather just use the web version of Ravelry. Ugh. 

Like others I’m having issues with the ads. The app already had some struggles from the layout and the UI, but the new problem is video ads are now taking over my entire screen and I can’t get out of them without restarting the app. Same thing with accessing the PDFs and other options that pop up at the bottom of the screen, covered by apps. I get it you want to make money but this is ridiculous. I was using this to gauge my interest in the $4.99 version and frankly I’ll be looking for something else based on this experience.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. The free version is indeed ad-based. You may get support in our forum https://www.ravelry.com/groups/stash2go

### 1/5 — Unmodern und umständlich

*2020-06-15*

Habe die App leider wieder löschen müssen. Der erste Login war schon wahnsinnig umständlich vom Interface her, Suchfunktion ist versteckt oder nicht existent, Button für Forum buggt. Schade.

**Developer response:** Danke für die Rückmeldung - der Login geschieht über die Ravelry Webseite. Du kannst nach "Anleitungen" suchen, indem Du auf den Button "Anleitungen" klickst. Dann einfach suchen. Das Forum zeigt die abonnierten Foren, die Du bei www.ravelry.com abonniert hast.  Weiteres gerne im Forum:  https://www.ravelry.com/groups/stash2go

### 1/5 — Should be called ‘Crash to Go Lite’

*2019-09-30*

I am trying to use this to find some cute baby patterns as it looks like I may be getting two new grand babies in the next couple of years. However, it just freezes up or gives me a network error. I have no problem with other programs, but this one may be so ad intensive that it won’t run with my ad blocking hardware/software, raspberry pie. I will be looking elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Zuviel Werbung

*2019-09-29*

Alle zwei sek kommt neue Werbung, X ich sie fliege ich aus der App und lande in Safari auf einer fragwürdigen Werbeseite, sorry wird gleich wieder gelöscht.

**Developer response:** Bitte stellen Sie Fragen zur App hier: https://www.ravelry.com/groups/stash2go 
Über den Apple Bewertungsbereich kann ich leider keinen Support anbieten

### 1/5 — Jedesmal neu bei Ravelry einloggen - das nervt total!

*2019-08-05*

Trotz „remember me“ button muss man sich bei jedem Besuch der App neu in Ravelry einloggen - einfach mal schnell ein Garn nachschlagen ist nicht, immer erst einloggen. Macht keinen Spaß!

**Developer response:** Der Remember Me Button auf der Rav Website funktioniert nicht. Bei der App ist es nur nötig, einmal einzuloggen, dann erhält die App ein "Token", und kommuniziert so mit Ravelry. Wenn man dann nicht "ausloggt", bleibt die App eingeloggt. Ist also einfach ganz einfach

### 1/5 — Keine gute App

*2019-03-05*

Ich hatte mir die App runtergelaufen. Leider ist sie nicht wirklich selbsterklärend und so habe ich es am Ende aufgegeben. Nach mehrmaligen Versuchen habe ich die App erfolglos wieder gelöscht.

### 1/5 — So many ads

*2019-01-10*

Nice app, but so many ads make it visually unappealing and totally ruin the experience. Don’t bother with it.

Just get Ravitt instead... it’s worth the money.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2018-12-18*

I was so excited to find this app!! I have yet to be able to find a pattern on it. It doesn’t save anything but the picture of what you wanted to make. It’s much easier to just go to the Website and save the pattern there......Save the space and pass this one up

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2018-09-14*

I've had this app for awhile but used it for the first time today after downloading the update. It. Is. Horrendous. Images are such poor resolution you can see nothing... on a needlework app!!! Do I need to point out the irony here? You also can't load more than one set of search returns because the ad that won't close despite the X blocks the "Load More" button. Don't open the app drop down in the forums because the only way to get back to the page you were reading is to back all the way out. Aesthetically the app design makes a toddler's game app look elegant. An absolute mess, obviously not tested before release, and very effective in assuring me this is not a developer I want to support by buying the pro version. Fail all the way around.

### 5/5 — Great free app

*2019-05-25*

I loved the free app so much I decided to support the developers by purchasing the full ad free version and I love it even more it has the occasional issue but I can not complain. I love the freedom it gives me.

**Developer response:** thank you

### 5/5 — Super App 👍🏼👍🏼

*2019-03-09*

Ich bin begeistert ... mich würde interessieren was in der 9,95 App noch geht oder was ich dort für erweiterte Funktionen habe

**Developer response:** Da gibt es keine weiteren Informationen, ausser dass die Werbung weg ist.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2018-08-27*

While it doesn’t compare to using the desktop site, it gets the job done. Ads aren’t intrusive and the search filters work reliably. I don’t use the app for queue, I just use it for pattern searching on the go, so I can’t comment on that. Considering buying the full app after having used the lite version for nearly a year now.

**Developer response:** Thank you

### 5/5 — Very good

*2017-10-06*

For a free app it's not bad at all. Thinking of upgrading. Developer is wanting to create the best app they can. I'm choosing to support them!

**Developer response:** Thanks

### 5/5 — If crochet couldn't get more addictive

*2017-09-14*

Love this app and ravelry in general! Bucketloads of patterns, great for tracking your stash and projects and brilliant for getting inspiration off other users!

**Developer response:** Thanks

### 5/5 — excellent app for use with (or without) Ravelry

*2017-07-29*

I have been using this app for a while, and indeed kudos to the developers for making a free version available (which, as far as I can see, has the same functionality as the paid version).

The feature I love most is the very versatile row counter - it seems that the list of counters you can have for each project is infinite, and it is so very useful to go back to a project after a while and see how you adapted the pattern to your measurements.

Integration with Ravelry is seamless - just a great app!

Thouugh the ads are not that bothersome, I am upgrading to the full version to support the developers (this is one of those few independent apps that has kept going for years) - I love the fact it is a one-off payment where other knitting apps have a subscription service, and that the developers keep improving it. Long live Stash2Go!

**Developer response:** Thank you

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2017-06-27*

Super handy

**Developer response:** thank you

### 5/5 — Stash to go

*2017-06-21*

This is my go to app for my crochet projects, I love it

**Developer response:** Thanks

### 5/5 — Cool

Vraiment bien
