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.

2025-03-29	Me*****	I have this app & an app called Row Counter. I haven't found a difference in the 2 apps. pretty sure they are the same app with different names. except with row counter I can write patterns & keep all my downloads in one app rather than 2.

2024-12-07	Er*****	Not for crochet at all, this is for knitting and only row knitting, not in the round. I don't need to organize patterns, Ravelry is great for that already. This app is extremely limited in its ability to draft patterns, it's obvious the dev does not understand crochet (which is fine). Nice try though!

2024-11-25	Be*****	Great for writing patterns and designing charts. Really useful to keep track of the projects I'm working on as well. I like to work on my phone and this app has lots of handy features to make this possible. I like the custom features for making my own stitches. Very glad I've found it, thank you.
