Reviews for knitCompanion

I also had to Uninstall and reinstall. Before “the crash” when it kept freezing up on me, I enjoyed being able to keep my place with the highlighter and count my rows. Sometimes my finger would land in the screen and it would make a strange noise and then a red diamond with a dot […]

I LOVE this app! So easy to take with me everywhere I go since I use it on my phone and my phone is always with me. The best part is that it links to Ravelry so I can access endless patterns, including my library. And all the features and functions!…it basically does everything I […]

LOVE this app. I have been knitting several charted projects recently, and have been impressed enough to subscribe. I liked adding info to the charts (grams of yarn remaining, adding lines for where I want my repeat markers (hint: putting a marker in the middle of st that become K3 tog is stupid)). The timer […]

Tech Support is slow. I didn’t get prompted for the tutorial when I got the app so I learned how to.use it on my own. I am half way done with a project and just now went into setting and saw that the “knitters name” was something random so I changed it to mine not […]

Horrible app. Get a file open and five seconds to a maximum of three minutes later it crashes. Go through the opening process again… again crash in under three minutes. Every time. I’ve seen people raving about this app, unfortunately they all use an apple product. So I’m left to assume that the creators of […]

I have loved the app for years, but something has happened that makes it unusable on my tablet. I’m writing this on my phone because the app store refuses to access or even see the knitcompanion page. I can’t use the edit feature or the line markers. It’s now useless to me. I could leave […]

The subscription model for this app appears to have changed, so it is free version + higher price version, rather than also having a cheaper sub version. There appears to have been no warning about this change, and I have no idea what my sub this year is paying for. I keep being redirected to […]

I was a paid subscriber on Android for years. The apple version kept improving, while the Android version stayed bare bones. I was happy overall, so kept renewing. In Oct 2022, the app stopped realizing i had paid. I couldn’t access features even though I was paid up. More than 15 emails to support later, […]

I love Knit Companion and am an Android user. Ever since the recent update, my star place holder doesn’t work like before. I press where I want it to be and it doesn’t show up like before or ends up in a different place on the page. I knit almost exclusively with your app and […]

Crashes frequently. Drains my battery in record time. Not sure what all the fuss is about, but I guess if you’re an iOS user it has a lot more features. As it is, if you can get past the crashing and battery drain, the free version has all the tools I would use. The paid […]

I have been using this app for 2 yrs now and could not be happier with it. I was shocked to read that some really seem to hate it. I personally have not had an issue with it outside of operator error. I love having all my patterns in one place, being able to zoom […]

Very useful, though it tries to make itself the default app for pdf files in android. [edit to update] I don’t have problems others have noted regarding not using drop box (workaround, download the file, open in knit companion. The file’s full path is already linked. It had problems originally (about 2 years ago) with […]

I have been using the paid version for about a year. I like it pretty well but have an issue with one project not loading today after using it since Sept 2018. I have attempted to create a support ticket online using Chrome & Edge but the ticket page sits there “uploading”. I am extremely […]

I liked this app, used it regularly, decided to upgrade, didn’t see any difference in the options for Android so I went back to the basic app. And that’s where you get the shaft. The background color is locked on glaring yellow and you can’t change it without subscription. You give Apple users WAY more […]

The differences between Android and iPad versions are significant. It doesn’t hardly let you adjust any settings on this version, and there are not two different subscription options. The patterns are also not shown in a photo grid.. just list with the names. This is frustrating as I’d like to use this on the go […]

I like this app to keep track of my rows and stitches. The manual can be vastly improved for instructions on how to assemble linked markers. Setup is very nice, but I am using it on a phone and cannot get it to crop and join charts because the phone is too small and unresponsive. […]

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP. The app is certainly an improvement over trying to keep track of my rows on a computer (since I do not have access to a printer), but I keep seeing/hearing about additional functionality that would be useful (e.g., ability to crop to edges of chart, ability to color code […]

I love this app!! Being able to highlight sections and carry projects with me so I don’t have to use paper is great! The ability to use it off line is a plus because i can download other pdf. Files and read them on the go. It is great for my crossstitch as well!! I […]

I like the idea of this app more than the execution of it. It uses a bunch of symbols for its primary navigation that just don’t mean anything to me. I had to go to FAQs on their website to figure out basic features. Uploading a PDF, a core feature, is not supported within the […]

Convenient; does what I need. I shouldn’t have to install an app to find out price. Your website with video tutorials etc. has an FAQ with a “paid options and cost” entry. Guess what info is conspicuously absent? Yeah it’s the cost. Tell. Me. The. Cost. Up. Front. I want to know the pricing for […]
