4 stars for now because it still seems to be missing some of the ios features that I really enjoyed. The biggest feature I miss is the linked charts with counts. Having to move my marker and remember to incriment my count separately is something I juhabe trouble with. Keeping them in sync is a continuing frustration. Also, just having the chart capabilities of the ios version would be amazing. Unless I'm missing something (which I might be) there's no way to designate a chart yet in Android :-(

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 see on the reviews that others are having tech issues but i have not encountered them. I know this is a new app that is in the process of growth. Keep up the good work!! You have a customer for life!!

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 crashing, that seems to have been fixed. I use the free version. and if I am reviewing something on my phone, I tend to be terse.

Default apps are an Android feature and no app can force itself as the default. You control which apps are the default for PDF files: https://www.androidauthority.com/change-default-apps-android-2-633572/

We've added Scribble, Setup, Reminders, Magic Markers, and our Intelligent Chart Recognition system for ALL your patterns. Add a one-tap marker, use magic markers, crop, join parts together, re-arrange your pieces, customize your project image, and much, much more.
