Love and appreciate the NEW (1.5.3) app capabilities, thank you for all the hard work!!! Huge leap forward, in capabilities and speed enhancements. Had an opportunity to use new app to duplicate and alter a rather large chart originally created in the old app. WOW, what a huge improvement! On top of all the listed upgrade features, everything runs and redraws so much faster now. Use this app on an iPad Pro 10.5, iPad Mini 4 and iPhone X. No crashes, not even when tapping the back/undo icon. Adore both apps (PG and NG-KC). Very thankful they both exist!! Learned to knit using these apps, don’t think i’d have had the patience or fortitude to learn otherwise.

I have been using PG for years and love it. Being a chart person this gives me the ability to build my own that I can then pop into knitCompanion. The recent improvements are icing on the cake, the tools are so awesome and real time savers. I have designed charts for my own designs also which is very satisfactory. I say often that working in PG is better than “Prozac” for me, Zen time.😻

I have had this program for over a year and have paid to use the upgrade since first downloading it. Prior to this latest “update,” the only time I had to worry about the crashing was when using the paint brush over a large area. This app was recently updated and now crashes on near everything I do. From a simple small pattern to a large complex pattern. Whatever you changed in this update (this past week), please undo it so I can go back to only the expected crash of overusing the paint brush. Thank you, An Avid Designer.

This app needs work. Sadly, it’s the best for iPad, but that’s only because the competition is worse. It’s got a host of issues: ❌Crashes constantly. It gets to where i feel a little dread if i have to hit the undo button. Undo makes most crashes. ❌No Apple Pencil support! Doesn’t recognize the pen at all, not for drawing, not for picking a stitch, nothing! ❌Show/hide rulers will change magnification ❌No true stitch/key customization - you can rename the stitches, you can Frankenstein “new” stitches by repurposing supplied stitches, but true custom key/stitch is not there. ❌I haven’t even attempted to have it go from chart to instruction yet. PC charting apps can go from text to chart and back. This one only one way. 😡I had high hopes for this app. I have an iPad Pro w/pencil and wanted to be able to work directly on my charts rather than deal with PC & mouse. Very disappointed.

I upgraded to get all the features which are amazing. This app though keeps crashing on me though and erasing the work I did. When it crashes it erases the last few things I did. I finished a chart and exported it to knitCompanion. I remembered that I needed to add something and when I went back to add the file was back to looking like when you first started. This is not acceptable.
