Fantastic for Amigurumi
This app is absolutely fantastic for tracking projects and supplies. In particular, I use it for amigurumi makes, and it suits that use better than any other app I’ve come across. Also, the connectivity with the watch app means that there’s a synced stitch counter on your wrist, which is so incredibly useful. When I finish projects, I end up with a great history of my progress notes and special methods.

So so
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.

Decent Row Counter
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.

overall, I do enjoy using the app. My number one gripe with it, though is trying to mark a project as finished. And having it on multiple devices. I have it on both my iPad and my iPhone, but in order for me to mark a project as completed, I need to do it on both devices. I have removed it from my iPad, but I still cannot save a project as completed in my phone. When I do it changes the date to the current day and not the date that was previously started. It also just revert it to being archived or doesn’t update the yarn quantity when I market is finished.

Great, could use one thing
I love this app. I love how I can time how much I spend on a project. BUT, I sometimes forget to stop the timer! I wish there was a widget or a notification pop up on my screen saver where I can stop the timer from my lock screen!

What I needed
I’ve had several apps, but this covers all the ones I had in just one app. Patterns, counters, stash, needles It seems the only thing I’ve had problem w with annotations and it’s not always reliable and works slowly. I think the $ is well worth it, Update: I’d like to change my subscription to the one time payment (permanent) instead of yearly payments but I can’t find where. I know the option was there before. Thank you I had read if you cancel your subscription the option to pay once would come back up, i did, but i still see nothing. I want to purchase and not worry about yearly payments.

I try to love this app but it’s hard.
I always want to give this app 5 stars but it is not a user friendly app at all. The completion date on the projects I’ve done cannot be changed and is often set to the wrong date. No matter what I do. I also wish you could organize the projects in a different way. I’d like to be able to only see current projects that aren’t completed but also aren’t archived. And why would I need a future projects tabs? It’s weird. I should also be able to filter by knitting or crochet.

Watch app sync unreliable
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIX THE WATCH APP!!! In general I like the app, but I’m very Apple Watch centric. I find that the syncing between watch and phone app is unreliable. The watch app shuts down between rows and so it’s three+ taps just to click the next row count. (Yes, I have the watch app to stay active for 1 hour in the watch preferences). So for my main use, I really can’t rely on it.

Feature Request
Really liking this app, I do have a feature request if you hit your last row on a counter (that isn’t a repeating counter) can the counter color change or can there be some other indication that you hit your last row?

Projects won’t open
As of now I’m super disappointed because projects won’t open. It says iCloud is synced, I’ve restarted my phone, made sure iCloud is working and backed up and synced, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and nothing. The project starts to open and then goes back to the main screen. No error message. Super bummed that this isn’t working as of now. Happy to change my review if the app will actually work and let me look at projects.

Exactly what I needed
I did not think I would love this app as much as I do and had zero intention of sticking with the paid version. It is AMAZING and the features are so thoughtful. I love the highlight line when you open a pattern and the counter and timer features are very well done. The only small change I would like is to have a status for projects on hold. But otherwise it is perfect and better than I would have imagined

Good organization
I like this app to help track my projects and inventory my yarn/tools. I would want better filters to help narrow down what I’m looking for in future updates. But overall good app to use. Also has a pay once feature for premium to save money. $45 and you get premium for life instead of $15 per year. Cost isn’t bad at all

Crocheted Dream app!
I LOVE this app. I use it almost daily as I crochet quite a bit. It is so useful for keeping track of projects. The rows/rounds counter is amazing. Being able to log all of your tools a yarn stash is also amazing! I also appreciate that it’ll make a pdf out of free patterns posted on websites and import them into the app for easy reference.

This is amazing!!
When I realized that I couldn’t find items in my stash quickly ( or, sometimes, at all!) I knew that the time had come to formally inventory my collection. After a bit of research, I found this app. It is brilliant. After an investment of time to enter each skein/ball, I had a complete, searchable record! It has already proven its worth. I was on the verge of purchasing a lovely skein of hand dyed yarn when I remembered my vow to use Yarn Buddy to avoid my usual goof of buying essentially the same yarn multiple times. I checked my inventory and, lo and behold, I did have a skein of very simila

Love this app
I really love this app, especially the connection to the Apple Watch. I like being able to use my watch as a counter without having to use my phone. I do wish I could remove the total rows counter. It never use it but it pops up first in my watch. The watch interface is very sensitive and I have added counts by mistake. But, still, a great app.

Love! But wish…
I love this app for the ease of use. The only thing I’d change is I wish there was a way to organize the patterns into categories. I’d love to be able to have all the blankets in one folder, Christmas patterns in another folder, hats in another.

Can’t live without this app 🧶💗
I track ALL my crafting projects on here (mostly crochet, but also including friendship bracelets). This app is PERFECT! The row counters are perfectly made, and it’s SO useful to have multiple counters with custom titles, repeats, intervals, and much much more. I 100% recommend paying for premium. It’s just wonderful!!

Very Useful
I really love this app. It helps me pick right back up where I left off on project. I don’t really use the stash feature much but I could see where that would also be useful.

Nice but only does 50%
Nice to keep an eye on your stash and projects. The one function that I was after (Ravelry import) doesn‘t work at all. So nothing special compared to other apps.

It’s got some bugs but I love it
I love that YarnBuddy is so easy to use. I signed up for Pro so I could get all my WIPs in there. It’s really a handy app. I learned that I have 5 Current Projects in there! Most of my stash is recorded in there too. While I love this app, there are a few “bugs” or improvements I wish she would make. 1) Keep the pattern open even after moving away from the app for a moment. Now I have to reopen the pattern to continue on 2)I’ve just started my switch over to Mac for my desktop. There are no annotations on the Mac version. It doesn’t sync with my iPad either and display the annotations I’ve ma

Great App and Easy To Use
I love to knit and crochet and was looking for an app to help me just keep count easily. I'm not necessarily good at knitting and crocheting but I do love it. This is an excellent app for that. Then I looked at all the other things it had to offer, which is a lot. There are a TON of things for free. The price for a year is very reasonable. Even the one time only purchase is so reasonable for everything you get. I highly recommend this app! I love it.

Best app I’ve found!!
I cannot recommend this app enough! Everything is at my fingertips, and if I’m out and about and don’t have service, I can still access all my yarn and my projects. I’ve loved it ever since I found it and will continue to use it! The only thing I will say is because it’s an independent creator and not a giant company, the yarn database is small, so not all the yarn even if it’s a well known brand will come up when you scan the label when you’re adding it to your stash, but that doesn’t bother me and it doesn’t affect anything when you add your yarn to stash. In fact, it’s helpful to everyone

I use this app mainly for the row counter tool as it’s easier to keep track then paper. Would love to use it as a widget!
