RowKeeper vs AmiAshi

RowKeeper turns your PDF knitting charts into something you can actually work from — tap each row as you knit it, and the app remembers exactly where you stopped. TRACK YOUR ROWS Open a chart and let RowKeeper find the rows for you. Tap a row to check it off, and your progress is saved automatically. Come back tomorrow, next week, or after a phone upgrade — you'll still be on row 47. REPEAT SECTIONS Most patterns repeat. Tap the first and last row of a repeat to mark it, and those rows stay highlighted in a colour you choose. When you finish a round, one tap sends you back to the start and counts the repeat for you. WHICH WAY AM I GOING? For flat knitting, RowKeeper shows whether the next row runs right-to-left or left-to-right, alternating as you go. No more counting back to figure out which side you're on. COUNTERS THAT KEEP UP Add as many counters as a pattern needs — rows, repeats, decreases. Link them so one advances the others. Put the counter you care about on your home or lock screen and tap it without opening the app. MARK UP YOUR CHART Drop markers on rows and columns, draw directly on the pattern, and leave sticky notes where you need a reminder. Everything stays pinned to the right spot when you zoom or rotate. BRING PATTERNS IN Add a PDF, pick an image from your gallery, or photograph a paper chart with the camera. Sort patterns into folders, favourite the ones you're working on, and search by name.
