Ratings and reviews

Update Feb 2024: Developers have fixed the issue & I now have an ad-free KB2. Thank you! -------- I get a "Something went wrong on our end" message when trying to upgrade to the pro version. Any app with ads is unacceptable to me, so I would be happy to pay for their removal. It's too bad I can't upgrade.

Only one I've found with a built-in timer, thanks so much. The progress bar is nice too. I get so antsy in the middle when it starts to get repetitive so I think that will help to ease the tension. ETA i just realized I can have the web page for the pattern i need open on the same page as my project counter & I am ECSTATIC. This app is everything I've been wanting in a counter.

I absolutely can't crochet without this handy app!! I used the first version for a long time then when they came out with Knitting & Crochet Buddy 2 I swapped over and have loved the improvements! Honestly though the ads can a tad annoying if you leave your wifi or data on but honestly, it's SO worth having the pro version. You're supporting the developers for what they've put into this app. I can easily keep track of my projects and the progress :)
