StitchEven does the knitting calculations for you, so your increases, decreases and buttonholes come out evenly every time. Fast, simple and intuitive, made by a knitter for knitters. Enter your stitches and the app works out a clear, ready-to-knit instruction: • Even increases and decreases, spread as evenly as possible across the row, in the round or worked flat. • Buttonholes, evenly spaced along an edge. • Gauge: cast on the right number of stitches for a desired width, or convert a pattern to your own gauge. • A built-in list of abbreviations, so the instructions are easy to read. Follow the instruction step by step: tap to advance, the current row lights up, and the screen stays awake while you knit. Choose the most precise distribution, or a simpler instruction that is quicker to follow. Made for knitters: • Six languages: English, Norwegian, Danish, German, French and Swedish. • No ads, no account, no data collection. • Works completely offline. Questions, tips or need help?

Verdict

StitchEven's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
