The Loomfinity app is available for iPad and iPhone and makes a wireless connection to your Loomfinity One. It can open weaving drafts (WIF files) from the local files system or from your iCloud account. The Dobby mode gives you full computer dobby functionality plus the ease of powered, independent lifting of all 8 shafts. The optional auto-shed feature automaticallly advances the pick, following the treadling in the weaving draft as you use the beater bar. The Manual mode gives you the ease of powered lifting while keeping you in total control. Tie-ups are defined in the weaving draft (the WIF file you opened), and you will also have individual control of every shaft at any time.
