### 3/5 — App will not open

*2022-02-06, version 2.24*

I haven’t use it in a while & I just tried it & it will not go past the start screen

### 2/5 — Cant access paid for  patterns, cant load photos to projects etc etc

*2022-01-01*

Basically blows.

**Developer response:** Please ensure that you use the latest version, also watch the video for the first steps with the app.

### 2/5 — Freezes often, requiring restarts

*2021-03-06*

If this worked better, it would literally be a lifeline for me. Pandemic isolation and then losing my Rav community has been very difficult. I have the paid version and it’s so buggy that I have to close and reopen constantly to move around in the app - it freezes very frequently, particularly when reading forums. I bought this app because the Ravelry site now causes me physical harm (migraines) so it’s discouraging that the developer wants people to post about problems with the app in the Ravelry forums.

### 3/5 — Watch app stopped working with iOS 14 update

*2020-09-20, version 2.18*

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the watch and iPhone apps but it's still not working. Please update thank you.

### 3/5 — Fehlerhaft

*2019-10-19*

Etwas enttäuscht. Wenn ich auf Forum gehe stürzt die App ab. Bzw sie hängt sich auf. Ich muss sie löschen und neu installieren. Finde ich schade dafür habe ich nun Geld ausgeben. Gut die Werbung ist nicht vorhanden im der App.

**Developer response:** Bitte die letzte Version benutzen

### 4/5 — Unable to access Paid For patterns

*2018-09-28*

I upgraded from the free version because I was having trouble getting my paid for patters to show up on my app. Whenever I click on my pattern that I paid for, the app shifts to the web page and goes to PayPal to “check out” as if I haven’t already bought it! (Which, I know I have purchased it already because I’ve used the pattern and had it open on my computer and have receipt of payment in my email box). 

I thought upgrading and paying for the full app would correct this problem. 

It did not. :( 

If that were fixed, the app would get 5 stars. Please fix this problem!

**Developer response:** Please contact me via the discussion forum: https://www.ravelry.com/groups/stash2go 
I can't provide support through the review section ..

### 2/5 — I should have stayed with the lite version

*2018-05-01, version 2.13*

The developers sent me a message pretty much instructing me to update my comments on the basis that they responded to my initial query and answered my question. (The response to me, by the way, was a long time in coming and apparently there was a post on the issue on Ravelry, though I didn’t see it.) I still have to say that I have never paid so much for an app that appears to have so few advantages over the free version. If I had known, before I paid, what I know now I would have stayed with the free version and put up with the ads. It’s probably more suited to someone who uses it all the time rather than someone like me who just wanted occasional mobile access to Ravelry.

### 2/5 — Terrible on iPhone

*2018-02-07*

You can’t even read it sometimes, the fields do not line up, the screen is a mess

### 4/5 — Really glad this app exists

*2017-09-27, version 2.8*

I really appreciate this app for providing me a way of integrating my stash and Ravelry experience. I look forward to its ongoing development.

### 5/5 — Love it so much upgraded from the free version

*2017-07-31, version 2.8*

I have been playing around with the free version for a couple of months, and I really love it - so far it does everything I need it to do, and in some respects has more functionalities than Ravelry does, in the sense that for instance one can upload all manner of pdf files to a project, even if these are not in your library. 

So suppose you have bought a magazine and scanned a pdf of a pattern for your personal use, you can open it with Stash2go, associate it with a project, and then just knit or crochet away in the app, with the pattern and the counters in front of you.

I use it both on an iPad and an iPhone, thoguh obviously the iPad is much better if you are knitting, while the iphone app is great if you are looking for yarn in a shop and want to check your project, or have a project and are looking for yarn to match.

The lite version seems to do all that the paid version does (save the ads, which are not very intrusive), but I bought the full version as it is a one off (unlike other Ravelry related apps that require a subscription), and I really want to support this developer.

In fact, the developer supports the app too in the Ravelry group, very prompt in responding to questions. Loving this app!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2017-07-26, version 2.7*

Really like that I can quickly access my yarn stash and patterns at any time!

### 5/5 — Organise your projects

*2017-07-10, version 2.7*

Brilliant! Love this app. Able to import patterns, name them record yarn stash and keep track of where I'm up to.

### 5/5 — Love this app!!

*2017-07-10, version 2.7*

I'm able to get & share patterns with all my knitting friends & search for a particular pattern to use a specific yarn I may have in my stash or found at a sale.

### 5/5 — It's Great

*2017-06-10, version 2.7*

Taking me sometime to figure the app out but there is plenty of help. This is just what I needed to store my stash and take with me for trips

### 1/5 — Nicht gut

*2025-01-10*

Leider bereue ich den Kauf dieser App. Ich konnte gerade noch nicht einmal ein Foto für mein Projekt aus der App heraus hochladen. Im Browser vom Handy direkt auf der Website von ravelry ging’s. Wenn ich mein Geld zurückverlangen könnte, würde ich’s tun…

### 1/5 — Never works

*2022-10-30*

Every time I try to use this app, which is gotten further and further apart, tells me to log into ravioli. If I have to login to the website in order to use this app, and what is the point of having an app? I finally did go login and the app has nothing. All of the patterns and projects I had loaded seem to be gone.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2022-02-09*

Downloaded app no the app open to a blank screen? Uninstalled and opened again frozen on white screen???

### 1/5 — Please save your money

*2019-11-03*

I tried the lite version and liked it! So I paid the 4.99 ... too quickly.  It crashes every time I access the forum. You can't create any bundles. Basically it's just a $5 way to not easily add favorites and view Ravelry in a cleaner interface.

**Developer response:** Please ensure that you use the latest version, also watch the video for the first steps with the app. Note that both apps share the same code base.

### 1/5 — Schade

*2017-12-23*

Mir fehlen Funktionen und Verknüpfungen bei der Suche. Z. B. rufe ich eine Garnsorte auf, bekomme dazu aber nur ein Händchenvoll Projekte angezeigt. Öffne ich ravelry‘s website kann ich deutlich mehr sehen. Hätte ich‘s gewusst, hätte ich 6,99€ gespart. Ich bezahle gerne für Entwicklerarbeit, aber ich sehe hier nicht, was an der App besser oder genausogut ist wie die ravelry-site. Schade.

**Developer response:** Ich würde gerne helfen, aber mangels Informationen weiß ich nicht wie - 
die Abfragen gehen 1:1 an Ravelry

### 1/5 — Need a tutorial

*2017-04-19, version 2.5*

I don't know where to begin.  I want to read about how each part works and how to use it. Help!

### 1/5 — No pooling calculator for the Apple app

*2016-09-25, version 2.1*

I purchased for the pooling calculator and there isn't one. Waste of money!

### 1/5 — Bloss nicht kaufen!

*2014-12-20*

Das ist ja wohl die totale Frechheit! Grottenschlechte App. Funktioniert überhaupt nicht, mega langsam, absolut schlechte Menüführung - der reinste Witz!!! Unverschämtheit.

**Developer response:** Bitte die Videos anschauen für die ersten Schritte, und die aktuelle Version verwenden

### 5/5 — 💜💙💚💛❤️ Great for linking to @Ravelry

*2022-07-29, version 2.25*

Love this app for linking to my Ravelry library. It puts everything all in one place. 💛💚💙💜❤️

### 5/5 — Great way to access raverly on an ipad

*2021-01-30*

Love this - allows me to access all my pdfs and knit using the row counter. Especially good for the patterns you can’t load into the Lovecrafts app like those from Drops Design.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much :)

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2020-10-05*

I love the fact that there’s a counter in the app so I can save where I am in my projects on that specific project. I love the new lettering its so pretty. This is the best app that I have found for Crochet I have an iPhone and so I love the app and I don’t worry about downloading patterns into the app I download patterns into my iBooks.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much :)

### 5/5 — I WAS WRONG!

*2020-04-25*

I previously gave a low review, because I thought you couldn’t keep a needle inventory on the app, the reason I purchased it, but found out you can! If you use the needle inventory in Ravelry, it updates into the app. Can’t enter them directly into the app, which is what I thought when I bought it. So it does what I hoped it would.

**Developer response:** You can track needles via ravelry and display that in the app.  Please contact me via the discussion forum: https://www.ravelry.com/groups/stash2go

### 5/5 — Best App

*2018-12-06, version 2.15*

I’ve been using this for a year or so and it’s the best app I’ve had for Ravelry. I recommend it any Ravelry user to keep up to date with groups, forums and friends.

### 5/5 — What a wonderful update!

*2018-08-27*

Ravelry, and by extension, it’s iOS apps, Stash2Go, are as essential to my knitting as my yarn and knitting needles! Keeps my patterns and stash sorted and sortable, well organized, and makes finding what I need as easy as could be. Keep it up!

**Developer response:** Thank you :)

### 5/5 — Just buy it!

*2018-04-15*

This is a great app and invaluable for reference when you’re out buying yarn.

**Developer response:** Thank you !

### 5/5 — Love this App!

*2017-09-24*

Perfect companion to Ravelry and I love the row counter. Won’t work on a project without this app!

**Developer response:** Thank you

### 5/5 — Good app

*2017-09-10, version 2.8*

Great to have a mobile place to look at Ravelry!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2017-09-10*

This really is a great app for a quick look at your Ravelry stash and patterns. I use it all the time.

**Developer response:** Thank you
