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
So good with a couple fixes
This is my go-to crochet pattern manager, the multiple, configurable counters are fantastic and I love how you can move the highlight bat over what step you’re on. The only thing that really bothers me is that when switching from YarnBuddy to another app (if you’re doing multiple things), when you go back, it takes you to the homepage and closes your pattern instead of keeping that page open. It’s super annoying because you have to keep opening your pattern over and over again. PLEASE fix that! Less important but still great feature would be if you could import your stash from Ravelry.

Fantastic for Amigurumi
This app is absolutely fantastic for tracking projects and supplies. In particular, I use it for amigurumi makes, and it suits that use better than any other app I’ve come across. Also, the connectivity with the watch app means that there’s a synced stitch counter on your wrist, which is so incredibly useful. When I finish projects, I end up with a great history of my progress notes and special methods.

So so
I was quite disappointed with customer support as I NEVER received a response. I simply wanted to know if I could import my patterns from Ravelry.
Decent Row Counter
It does what you need it to, love being able to track repeating rows. I do wish there wasn’t syncing issues with the watch feature but I’ve done everything that has been recommended to try. I’ve had to just remove it from the watch because of the syncing/tracking issues, I’ll track on my watch do another row and somehow the count is back a couple rows or 0… which doesn’t help when I’m tracking rows. Makes me sad because the watch function was one of the features I was most excited to use.
Works fine on iPhone and iPad.

Really Mediocre
I had a complicated pattern and YarnBuddy did a poor job of reminding me when I was on a buttonhole row or on a row I needed to increase. Very disappointed.
Not very good...
Idk.....
Not the best
It doesn’t let us make make a username or password it’s not helping us at all
App features are buggy
4/24/26 - after years of non-responsiveness from the developer who only says she’s working on the yarn database and no update on a year, I am moving on from an app I fully paid for that does not deliver. I have switched to Loopsy where the designer is eager for feedback and has already implemented many of the features in this app. It’s so disappointing because there are a lot things I like about this app but the lack of an updated yarn database has sealed the deal.

App support is non-existent and support requests go unanswered.
Marking a project finished does not update the yarn stash quantity. The yarn database is lacking. I stick with it because I LOVE the Apple Watch compilation and being able to update row count and see where I am with counters is awesome. I just wish the yarn database would work and I also wish there were more filters on the yarn stash. For example, if I want to look for a brand AND fiber type. I’ve reached out to the developer and do not get any app support. All she says is I know, I know and it’s being worked on. Still worth the money for the app and I am hoping she fixes it soon.

Amazing!
Best free app for crochet and knitting. Of course there are apps with more features in the market but they are all paid, so this is perfect if you don’t want to pay for it but want to keep everything in one place. I also love how you can pinpoint which row/column you are working on a pattern, really helps a lot!

works but has bugs
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.

Works great on iPhone and iPad and I would recommend.

Great, could use one thing
I love this app. I love how I can time how much I spend on a project. BUT, I sometimes forget to stop the timer! I wish there was a widget or a notification pop up on my screen saver where I can stop the timer from my lock screen!
What I needed
I’ve had several apps, but this covers all the ones I had in just one app. Patterns, counters, stash, needles
It seems the only thing I’ve had problem w with annotations and it’s not always reliable and works slowly.
I think the $ is well worth it,
Update: I’d like to change my subscription to the one time payment (permanent) instead of yearly payments but I can’t find where. I know the option was there before. Thank you
I had read if you cancel your subscription the option to pay once would come back up, i did, but i still see nothing. I want to purchase and not worry about yearly payments.

I try to love this app but it’s hard.
I always want to give this app 5 stars but it is not a user friendly app at all. The completion date on the projects I’ve done cannot be changed and is often set to the wrong date. No matter what I do. I also wish you could organize the projects in a different way. I’d like to be able to only see current projects that aren’t completed but also aren’t archived. And why would I need a future projects tabs? It’s weird. I should also be able to filter by knitting or crochet.

Love!!
Hi I am a 12 year old crocheter and I love this app!! It helps my organize so much!!
Watch app sync unreliable
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIX THE WATCH APP!!!
In general I like the app, but I’m very Apple Watch centric. I find that the syncing between watch and phone app is unreliable. The watch app shuts down between rows and so it’s three+ taps just to click the next row count. (Yes, I have the watch app to stay active for 1 hour in the watch preferences).
So for my main use, I really can’t rely on it.

Feature Request
Really liking this app, I do have a feature request if you hit your last row on a counter (that isn’t a repeating counter) can the counter color change or can there be some other indication that you hit your last row?
Projects won’t open
As of now I’m super disappointed because projects won’t open. It says iCloud is synced, I’ve restarted my phone, made sure iCloud is working and backed up and synced, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and nothing. The project starts to open and then goes back to the main screen. No error message. Super bummed that this isn’t working as of now. Happy to change my review if the app will actually work and let me look at projects.

Great app
Update 1.11.26- the app stopped backing up and nothing will fix it. I reached out to the developer and haven't heard anything. Pretty disappointed.
This is exactly what I need to keep my yarn stash and wips/future wips organized. Super easy to use and love being able to add pictures, link to ravelry patterns, etc. Would be awesome to see a link to Pinterest pins at some point too. Will probably be upgrading to the paid version soon- it's worth it!
