Needs a tweak
I downloaded this app, as I have been looking for one that has different colors for my projects. In my opinion, this keeps the screen from being boring. I love all the different colors for all my different projects. What I don’t love is the fact that I can’t delete or edit a project if I put it in the app by mistake, or if I make a mistake while putting it in the app. It would help a lot if that ability was available.
I have tried deleting and reinstalling the app, as that usually clears the data, but my mistakes are still there.

I’m adding something to my review, as Apple won’t allow me to write a new one.
The problems I detailed in my previous review were addressed and taken care of, and I am grateful for that. A new update allowed me to change my favorite colors to favorite shades, which I loved.
I am not in love with the latest update. I was really enjoying the pastel colors with a white background. Now, the different projects are pastel colors with dark backgrounds. I preferred the white background, and I can’t find a way to change it back. I think you should give people the option to choose a dark or light (white) background.

Watch
Wonderful ✨😍only thing that I suggest is to be able to put it on the watch face so I don't have to go to the app list to use it

Thanks so much for trying the app and for taking the time to write such a detailed review 🙏 Good news: you can delete projects right now. To delete a project, simply: 1. Go to your list of projects 2. Swipe left on the project you want to remove 3. Tap “Delete” Because your projects are always synced with iCloud, just deleting and reinstalling the app won’t clear them — iCloud restores your data when you reinstall. Once you delete a project using the swipe gesture above, it will also be removed from iCloud. Your point about making editing/deleting more obvious is totally fair. I’ll look into making this clearer in the interface so it’s easier to discover in the future. Thanks again for the feedback and for using the app 💛
Can’t change row number
Why does everything say 45 rows? I want to see that I have to do 24 rows, not 45
Potential
Easy and straightforward but it closes every time my watch goes to sleep and needs to be reopened from the app list. So frustrating. I cannot leave my watch “always on” because then the battery doesn’t last the day.
Times out
By the time I’m done a row, the watch face is back on screen and I have to navigate back to the app. I assumed it would stay open until I closed it. This makes it not worth the bother.
Watch update broke it
I’ve been using this pretty successfully for years. Great to have multiple projects. I have it as a complication on my watch face so I can quickly tap the count when needed. This last watch update broke the app so that every time I tap my the face the app needs to launch from scratch instead of just taking me to my active count. That means I need to navigate a few screens to tap the count. Any lans for an update?

Disparu!!!
J’ai acheté cette app il y a quelques mois. Tout allait bien. C’était simple. Parfait… mais je viens pour utiliser cet app et elle est complètement disparue… je n’ai plus d’icone sur ma montre, pas de trace d’achat et je suis incapable de la retélécharger car le bouton d’achat est grisé. Grrrr!
WatchOS6?
I was having trouble doing things on the app and went to the website and it said there watchOS6 or later. My Apple Watch is version 4. I cannot see in the App Store that an Apple Watch 6 is needed. I cannot find instructions anywhere on how to use the app.
Not working with Apple Watch anymore
Up until now I liked this app a lot. I downloaded the latest Apple iOS software update & now it no longer appears as an app option on my watch. When I go on my iPhone to reload it it says the app was purchased but it no longer appears on my watch as an
option. PLEASE NOTE UPDATE BELOW 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🥲
Update: Julian helped me a great deal walking me through the process of going through the App Store on my watch (not my iPhone). Apple prompted me I already purchased the app & just redownloaded it. Works fine now!!! I appreciate Julian’s patience & perseverance.

Nifty...
...and just what I needed, but can you add a minus button to the row counter? Some of us make mistakes sometimes 🙄
Doesn’t retain count
I was excited and thought this was just what I was looking for, but unfortunately it does not work. After increasing the number I saw it randomly change in front of my eyes. Certainly not worth the cost unless this bug is fixed. You also can’t subtract or reset. There are options that look promising when you start a new “piece” such as pattern repeat and ‘start at round’ but these things have no explanation and do not seem to work.

I’m sorry to hear you are having trouble with Yarnify. To count up, press the “+” button on the piece detail view. The “-“ button to count down is hidden unless you force press and then activate the “Show Minus Button” option. You can also press the “Minus” option, if you want to count down once, but keep the minus button hidden in the detail view. Once you activate the pattern repeat, you should see a different counter suited for working with patterns. Please contact me at support@dschu.de for further assistance.
Too Inconsistent
When this app works, it works great, and I was really excited at the possibility of using it to keep track of multiple projects with multiple components AND being able to use it on my watch. But it’s too inconsistent for me to say that the app really works.
It will add or subtract rows all on its own, which means counting rows by hand - the very task I was hoping to avoid when I purchased the app and that it’s designed to replace. There’s no way to subtract a row if the app has added it on its own or if one is added with an accidental tap. (Update: I read another review that was also frustrated with the inability to subtract a row and it turns out that it’s possible through a force press, so I’m less frustrated now. Still frustrated with the way it drops rows on its own though. I had to frog 440 stitches when I realized that issue.)
Overall, I’m not sure it’s worth the price - I could’ve messed up my counting without the app and used that money to buy an Egg McMuffin or something. Hopefully these issues are resolved in a future update because, like I said, I was really excited at the potential and LOVE that it’s on my watch.

Perfect
I have been waiting a long time for the ideal counter app for my knitting projects and I’m so glad I found this one. It has everything I’ve been looking for, especially the ability to see and configure section repeats. Perfect app and an absolute must for every knitter that has an Apple Watch.
Unresponsive Apple Watch App
Count-up button doesn’t respond half the time, so you exit the piece, still no response, then hit it again and it counts up twice. But you can’t rewind. Useless.
Poor
This is all in non English very angry
