knitCompanion users say on Google Play
I have been using this app for 2 yrs now and could not be happier with it. I was shocked to read that some really seem to hate it. I personally have not had an issue with it outside of operator error. I love having all my patterns in one place, being able to zoom in so I can see clearly, and I have never lost my place because I can highlight where I left off. I use the free version and am able to up load patterns from books I have which I love. Sorry so many have issues with it.
I used to print all my patterns out. No more. Knit Companion is awesome! Even the free version is enough to get started with. Eventually, you will find yourself buying the paid version. The one drawback for me is that the Canadian price is double the American. I think that is really unfair.
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.
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.
The subscription model for this app appears to have changed, so it is free version + higher price version, rather than also having a cheaper sub version. There appears to have been no warning about this change, and I have no idea what my sub this year is paying for. I keep being redirected to the higher priced sub inside the app. I have no idea if I lose any features by swapping to the free version. And if I don't, I appear to have paid a sub this year for something that should have been free.
