This app is a godsend.... in theory! The chart view is such a great idea... if only I could actually highlight the row of the chart and view it at a glance. I can’t easily move the chart around or see the entire row I’m on. Right now I can only view part of the row and not the full width of it. I can’t for the life of me zoom out, and moving the chart around is very cumbersome- if not impossible. Moving the chart around seems to work 25% of the time and I haven’t figured out what makes it work that quarter of the time. It’s a great row counter but that is a pretty simple functionality and for the cost not really worth it. I do like that my phone won’t lock while using it. If it actually did what it promises to do with the chart view, I’d pay 3x as much for this app! Knitamus would have a gold mine here if it could actually get the app to work as intended. Knitters will pay to have their charts easily accessible and their position saved and highlighted rather than carrying around paper patterns but as it is I still can’t do that with this app. Please keep working to perfect it!!!!

I used to love this app, and constantly recommended it to knitting friends. It used to work beautifully. Now, since the last "update" it's buggy, laggy, and constantly crashes. I was 10 rows into a complex cable pattern, and when I hit the counter to move to row 11 it instead wiped my project clean and reset my counter to zero. I set the whole project up again, reset the first 10 rows of the repeat, and once again I advanced to row 11 and the project was wiped. Pretty upset that I paid for an app that's now almost entirely useless. It works sometimes, but it's like playing knitting roulette.

As a relatively new knitter tackling a complex multi piece pattern as my third project ever, Knitamus has been fantastic! I love the integration with Ravely.

While it is nice to view multiple pages of a pattern at one time, I wish I could still decrease the row counter and display the corresponding page. I know it seems like a small thing, but if I frog a project I don't want to have to set up the pattern all over again. Notification about the change in subscription options would have been nice, I'm now halfway through a $20 annual subscription to an app that now costs $10. I know there's upcoming features, but I may not be interested in any of these features and I don't have any idea if these new features for those with subscriptions will even be available after the subscription expires. I want to love this app because I thought it was really amazing when I purchased, and now it's lost a lot of its glitter and has left frustration in its wake.

I have used a couple of different knitting apps including knit companion, and I do like this one, especially the way it syncs to Ravelry. I do not like the subscription model, which is why I only gave this four stars. I appreciate the work that goes into developing an app like this, and the knitter-specific thought that went into things like highlighting lines on patterns, but for the same $20 I just spent for the year, I also have purchased notability where I can do nearly everything that this app does (except for syncing to Rav). Other users have reported this to be non--intuitive, but I didn't find that to be the case. It worked fine for me and it was really helpful for the projects I've used it for
