## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's ability to create knitting patterns with custom stitches and automated PDF generation, making design and project tracking easier. However, many find it limited to row knitting, lacking support for crochet and circular patterns. Beginners face challenges due to insufficient guidance, and the app suffers from crashes and slow performance during PDF previews. Users also report interface limitations like lack of full chart views and pattern libraries. Overall, while promising for knitting design, it needs improvements in usability and feature support.

### Pros

- Good for writing and designing knitting patterns and charts.
- Useful for tracking ongoing projects and organizing pattern details.
- Allows custom stitch creation and has preset symbols for ease of use.
- Generates well-organized PDFs automatically with layout and size variations.
- Free to use and without ads, enhancing user experience.

### Cons

- Limited to knitting with rows only; doesn't support crochet or circular knitting well.
- Lacks beginner-friendly guidance; app can be confusing without tutorials.
- App crashes or is slow when previewing or downloading PDF patterns.
- No ability to see entire charts at once, requiring excessive scrolling.
- Missing features like adding rows at bottom or moving chart sections.
- Does not provide ready-made patterns, only pattern creation tools.
