Great App With Room for Improvement

An issue I've been running into is sometimes the highlights stay stuck on my pattern PDF and doesn't move. I can't hide it or even erase it so it throws me off from where I am in the pattern. I have to delete the PDF and reupload it.

Also, the option to change the width of the horizontal bar is great, but I wish there were an option to show the vertical bar whenever I want and hide it when I don't want it. As in, sometimes I want both bars and sometimes I want only one vertical or one horizontal bar showing. It would be nice to customize this even further.

I would also like a function where you can select the area for the chart like with My Row Counter to make it even more customizable.

Fabulous!

I really love this app. Project and stash tracking are fabulous. Counters are convenient and customizable for situations where stitch markers won’t keep my brain on track. The stash export is really great and helps as much as the in-app view for different purposes. I love that it is a versatile tracker to upload patterns from any source to, and not a front end for a specific pattern source.

I was tentatively looking at alternatives because I originally entered my stash too quickly and there was a bug preventing backup from functioning fully. This update fixed the bug. Thank you! Logging out of the App Store to go knit, now that backups are set and forget I can focus on fibre and crafts.

Great App With Room for Improvement

I love how customizable the counters are, plus I like the movable highlight feature to highlight the section you're on in the pattern. My biggest request for the next update is to include being able to add/customize these highlight bars. Sometimes I need multiple vertical or horizontal bars to highlight multiple things at once in the pattern.

My Must Have

Love love this app. Just switched to lifetime subscription because I can’t live without it. All my stash, projects and patterns in one place, it’s the only thing that keeps me organized. Super quick and helpful responses when I had questions. I am one happy hooker! 🤪🧶🙏

Super useful app

There are so many things I love about the app. Being able to add and name as many counters as I need is really helpful for tracking every step. The yarn stash is really nice for keeping track of what yarns I have. One thing I’d really like to have is a pattern library to upload the patterns I have without having to do it through the “new project” feature, like the yarn stash but a place to just upload all of the patterns I have so I have them in one cohesive place. Other than that, it’s my favorite app to use when crocheting. It’s straight forward and doesn’t have a bunch of other unnecessary, distracting stuff.
