## Description

Knit Row Counter is a compact productivity tool for knitters to count rows while you knit. It keeps track of progress without interrupting your craft.

Gesture support makes counting effortless: on iPhone, a single tap increments by 1, swipes left or right decrement by 1, and a long-press resets to zero. On Apple Watch, a long-press also resets the counter. Lightweight and fast for quick projects.

## Review summary

A simple, free, ad-free row counter that’s easy to use with tap-to-count and long-press-to-clear, handy for knitting on iPhone (and to some extent Apple Watch). However, it lacks a quick reset, is prone to accidental count changes and drift, favors landscape orientation, and has unreliable watch integration. Overall it’s great for a basic counter but UX and cross-device polish could be improved.

### Pros

- Simple, no-frills row counter
- Free and ad-free
- Easy to use: tap to advance, long-press to clear
- Helpful for knitting and easy to read from a distance
- Apple Watch capability is a plus, though not consistently implemented

### Cons

- No quick reset/start-over option; resetting is tedious or unavailable
- Counts can be changed accidentally and there’s no lock to prevent it
- Counts can drift or become inaccurate after leaving the app
- Only landscape orientation is supported, which frustrates portrait-oriented users
- Watch integration is unreliable or incomplete (no reliable complication)
