User Reviews

Reviews praise YarnBuddy for strong project tracking, stash management, and Apple Watch integration, plus a one-time premium option. However, common downsides include an outdated yarn database with poor support, unreliable syncing/backups, watch-related reliability issues, and missing/limited filters for stash and patterns (plus some import/annotation reliability concerns).

Pros

Comprehensive project tracking with per-row/round counters and a timer.
Strong Apple Watch integration for on-the-go counting and syncing with projects.
Robust yarn stash/inventory management with searchable records and cross-linking to patterns and tools.
Pattern handling features such as exporting PDFs and importing patterns for easy reference.
Flexible premium options, including a one-time lifetime purchase, offering long-term value.

Cons

Yarn database is not updated and developer support is unresponsive or slow.
Syncing/backups across devices (iCloud) can be unreliable or fail, and some projects won’t open.
Apple Watch app reliability issues (shuts down, requires extra taps, unreliable syncing).
Limited yarn stash/pattern filters and search capabilities (missing filters by brand/fiber, etc.).
Ravelry import may not work and cross-platform annotations/notes can be unreliable.

Recent reviews

I was quite disappointed with customer support as I NEVER received a response. I simply wanted to know if I could import my patterns from Ravelry.

It does what you need it to, love being able to track repeating rows. I do wish there wasn’t syncing issues with the watch feature but I’ve done everything that has been recommended to try. I’ve had to just remove it from the watch because of the syncing/tracking issues, I’ll track on my watch do another row and somehow the count is back a couple rows or 0… which doesn’t help when I’m tracking rows. Makes me sad because the watch function was one of the features I was most excited to use. Works fine on iPhone and iPad.

I had a complicated pattern and YarnBuddy did a poor job of reminding me when I was on a buttonhole row or on a row I needed to increase. Very disappointed.
