I’ve had the app for about 2 weeks. Have made about 10 different patterns and at least 6 of them have been incorrect or make something completely different than what’s shown in the picture. So disappointing. And the fact that I paid for a full year up front just makes me bitter. ### 4/5 — Helpful Ideas *2026-09-05, version 1.52* Began crocheting 2 years ago. At some point my daughter told me about this app. The patterns have improved since I began using the app. I like the option to set the type of patterns I want to see. I’d love to see the pattern steps together with the option to strike through or tick a box. Overall, improved pattern options. Consider complete patterns available on one page or PDF. Keep some form of indicator that the step had been completed. ### 4/5 — You have to buy *2026-09-05, version 1.52* It’s good but a lot of the items u have to buy ### 3/5 — 😕 *2026-09-04, version 1.52* The first project is easy but the second one and every other project is very difficult. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 Also all the inspirations are JUST… FOR… PROS 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 2/5 — Ai use *2026-09-02, version 1.52* It’s a great app but I don’t appreciate the use of ai generated images especially when you barely have any free patterns ### 2/5 — Makes ME SO MAD *2026-09-02, version 1.52* I don’t have the right anything and it expects you do! I wouldn’t recommend it if you think you don’t have the right things, I tried a french knitting hook cause it look around the same and it asks you what you know I said nothing but then came up with 3ml or something hook I didn’t know what that is maybe just say a hook or something I tried a bow and made me sooooooo mad on my first project then I deleted the app please read and respond thank you 😡😡🙏🙏 ### 2/5 — No way to search *2026-08-31, version 1.51* There needs to be a search bar. Scrolling through all the patterns takes way too long. Also, people are posting patterns made with AI and they aren’t accurate. ### 3/5 — Bien mais … *2026-08-30* Super inspirant, mais de trop nombreuses erreurs sont présente, mauvais compte des mailles, erreur de cohérence dans le guide écrit, différence entre les vidéos et les guides écrits Mais de supers idées qui inspire, pour un débutant il faut vraiment sélectionner ses modèles simple mais si tu t’y connais un minimum les guides sont plus facile à suivre et les erreurs à corriger **Developer response:** Bonjour She.wellness, merci pour vos commentaires et nous sommes désolés pour les erreurs de comptage de mailles ainsi que les incohérences entre les vidéos et les guides écrits. Pourriez-vous nous envoyer les détails des modèles concernés à support@yarn-pal.com afin que nous puissions les rectifier le plus rapidement possible ? Comme nos modèles sont créés par des humains, nous traitons cela comme une erreur spécifique et souhaitons la corriger immédiatement. Merci de nous aider à nous améliorer ! ### 3/5 — Good *2026-08-29, version 1.51* This app is good but you have to pay for lots of designs, I mean to learn you need to practice! Please make some more designs free ### 5/5 — YAAAAAYYYY!!!!! *2026-08-29, version 1.51* first time ive ever been able to crotchet! been trying to for OVER 2 YEARS!!!! super happy best app ever! #BESTDAYEVEEEEERRRRR!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Crocheting Animals *2026-08-28, version 1.51* This foray into crocheting and knitting for fun appears to be easily attainable with this app. Looking forward to attempting more with faster and better results. Thanks, M ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-09-07, version 1.52* I feel it had so much potential I am brand new to crocheting and I was so happy to try it but the steps are not helping at all it took me forever using the steps just to thread it. ### 1/5 — Money *2026-09-06, version 1.52* Broski! I would love to use it buuuuut it costs money! I really love crocheting but I can only do a chain stitch! ### 1/5 — I thought it would be free. *2026-09-05, version 1.52* It was such a disappointment to find it costs but has a 7 day trial . Really bummed. ### 1/5 — WHAT THE HECK IS THIS? *2026-09-04, version 1.52* IT’S GOT GREAT STUFF BUT IT MAKES YOU PAY JUST TO GET PRO CROCHET AND I JUST GOT THIS THINKING IT DIDN’T MAKE YOU PAY AND NOW IT MAKES YOU PAY JUST TO GET PRO AND CAN YOU PLEASE RECOMMEND AN APP THAT DOESN’T GET YOU TO PAY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REPLY TO THIS I’M BEGGING YOU. IT’S BAD DON’T GET IT. ### 1/5 — Too expensive 😖 *2026-09-04, version 1.52* I just wanted to make little plushies and dolls but I didn’t know that you have to pay for it 1 star ⭐️ ### 1/5 — Went downhill *2026-09-02, version 1.51* Used to love this app. Now everything except like 5 subpar items are behind a paywall. With the rising cost of literally everything and wages not matching that constant increase, paying for patterns that should/would otherwise be free is not worth it. Can find better elsewhere for cheaper or free. ### 1/5 — Joke *2026-08-30, version 1.51* Terrible! The product is not the same as the picture displayed; neither is the video tutorial that goes with it. Waste of my money and time. ### 1/5 — Horrid *2026-08-30, version 1.51* GET RID OF IT GET RID OF IT GET RID OF IT ### 1/5 — Why is every photo of the crochet Ai??? And most of the videos are ai!!! *2026-08-30, version 1.51* Yeah all the photos are AI I just want an app that isn’t ai slop who in the world likes this app… ### 1/5 — WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR BEGINNERS AND PEOPLE WHO DONT WANT TO PAY FOR MOST IF THE THINGS! *2026-08-28, version 1.51* As a beginner I thought it would help me get better because I loved the sound of knitting and crochet but it does even show you how to case on easily and the videos are really bad and it doesn’t show you much I got really annoyed after a while and found it unhelpful it has a chat you you can talk to ai about it but I wouldn’t call it amazing and last thing you need Pro for almost EVERYTHING looking at clothing and stuffed animals pro was everything for clothing and 3.5/4 of the stuffed animals if you are a pro and are willing to pay for it I woukd recommend it but if not and your like me I would NOT RECOMMEND ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — уαяηραℓℓ ིྀ♧♤♢♡ *2026-09-07, version 1.52* Hey, could we maybe have a place to share projects without needing to sign in? Like a free account everyone can use? Thanks a lot for considering this! 🙏 ### 5/5 — I finally got the hang of it! *2026-09-07, version 1.52* I’ve always wanted to learn crochet and this app has made it so easy to learn. They teach you the basics and they provide endless patterns from easy- difficult difficulty patterns so you never get bored. They provide videos to fallow along and you can also take a picture when you mess up to help you understand what you’re doing wrong and teach you how to fix it. Totally worth the money if you want to learn and advance in crochet quickly. Very impressed! Some constructive criticism from me would be that it would be helpful if they mentioned how much cord/ yarn you’ll need for each project at the beginning of the project so you don’t run out mid project ( would also love to know where to get some of these yarns they use.) Also being able to zoom in on the videos would be a very helpful learning tool as well. ### 5/5 — Everything *2026-09-06, version 1.52* Very easy to use. I love it. Clean directions and video if you need help. I’ve learned a lot ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-09-05, version 1.52* This is and always has been so good really easy to understand Defo recommend ### 5/5 — Highly recommend 🧶🪡 *2026-09-05, version 1.52* It’s exactly like the ads and I never see good tutorials until I got YarnPal ### 5/5 — Crochet baddie *2026-09-05, version 1.52* This app is so helpful and it makes crochet SO MUCH EASIER I luv this app ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-09-02, version 1.51* I hate it ### 5/5 — Really good app *2026-09-02, version 1.52* I just started using yarn pal and I already love it it’s got loads of really fun things to try and is good for people of all ages and skill levels ### 5/5 — New Discovery *2026-08-29, version 1.51* This is an exciting yarn journey! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-29, version 1.51* Taught me how to make a cute crochet bow but the looping is a little confusing. 4 stars --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
