Was going well

Until I needed to add 7mm needles but there was no option for it?

works but has bugs

edit 8.30.26
this app has not been updated in ages. There’s still yarns that are fairly basic to most collectors or crochets or fabric artist dashes that are still not in here. The bugs that I talked about in my last review have not been fixed, and I just think that this developer completely abandoned the project. I did try to reach out to email them to offer free help even, and just to update the yarns. But zero response, no updates again, and I just don’t think that it’s worth continuing to pay for a yearly subscription or subscription.. Download to keep track of your projects and your stashes, but honestly just get a spreadsheet.

overall, I do enjoy using the app. My number one gripe with it, though is trying to mark a project as finished. And having it on multiple devices. I have it on both my iPad and my iPhone, but in order for me to mark a project as completed, I need to do it on both devices. I have removed it from my iPad, but I still cannot save a project as completed in my phone. When I do it changes the date to the current day and not the date that was previously started. It also just revert it to being archived or doesn’t update the yarn quantity when I market is finished.

Amazing

I just started learning to crochet and it has been a lifesaver for remembering everything.

Love! Yet: Want More (Pretty Please with a Skein on Top?)!

YarnBuddy hosts links to most of my digital patterns (my publication library is up next), my entire yarn, thread, notions and tool stash - and 100+ projects I intend to do now that I’m retired. Clearly I love the tool given my investment and belief in it! ❤️

Yet, would it be too much if I also add (beg?): pretty please - I/we (maybe taking liberties here to also speak for the whole community?) want more! I am an annual subscriber and our last update was over a year ago. Sadly that was only a bug fix. What’s coming next?!!! And if you need help, I’m raising my hand… 🤚

Thank you!

The best craft app

I have been using this app for almost three years now (the free version) and have just bought the lifetime subscription because truly there is no better app for tracking my projects. Simple to use, no ads, just a really great app
