Ratings and reviews

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 really, really, REALLY want this app on my desktop where I have a mouse! Having this as a desktop would make it the best on the market. I could edit my patterns, then send them to my phone to knit.

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 all available tiers. A knitting app is not an "if you have to ask you can't afford it" moment. Pricing is public information. EDIT: gimme numbers and a currency; I can look that up, easy.

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 app. You have to locate the downloaded file on your device and choose to use it in the kC app. It's weird to have to leave an app so many times to interact with it. Not sure I'll keep this one installed.

What’s new

A whole new way to work with color! Now you can select from an unlimited color palette, select from recently used colors, create named colors and use them throughout your project, and manage named colors including categorizing them and sharing them across projects and devices.

Get instant help with any stitch! When you used a named color with Magic Markers and Custom Markers, you can tap the stitch while knitting to instantly see the description of how to perform that stitch.
