User Reviews

Users praise Alpaca as a free, mobile-friendly Ravelry companion with a clean UI and solid pattern browsing. However, recurring issues include broken filters after updates, frequent crashes on iPad, problems with PDFs, and weak support. Some missing mobile features (favorites, groups, and social interactions) also detract from usability, though the app remains a popular choice for many who want a free, convenient pattern reference on the go.

Pros

Free to use / free access
Beautiful, mobile-friendly UI with an attractive design
Strong core functionality for browsing, searching, and tracking patterns
Easy to upload project photos directly from an iPhone to the notebook

Cons

Filters and search frequently broken or unresponsive after updates (filters do not apply; paid results appear when filtering for free)
Frequent crashes / stability issues (especially on iPad, when adding yarn or opening patterns)
PDF handling problems (cannot open PDFs; file browser save/exit issues when saving a PDF pattern)
Support is unresponsive or seems unavailable; app updates raise concerns about abandonment
Feature gaps on mobile (inability to favorite patterns, view groups/discussions, or manage friends)

I like this app a lot; but there’s an error where if you try searching for tees and tank top patterns, it only shows sleepwear. Can you fix it?

Have been using this app for years and love it, but lately having an issue with adding yarn to project from stash. It just closes down when you choose link to stash. Hope they get this issue fixed because it was a featured I really liked about the app.

I’ve had this app on my phone for a bit and recently opened it to find a new pattern and was shocked to find incredibly inappropriate pictures all over the place. Men basically naked lots of dark demon like patterns. I don’t know what happened but this app is terrible and completely unsuitable for any kids at all
