Re-orders when you hit edit
idavidi

This app would be great, but when you hit edit, it re-orders the counters in alphabetical order. This wreaks havoc every time you make any change. Fix this and it's a 5 star app.


Used to love it
Tks for this

This was a great counter once. I had to delete and reinstall at one point, but the reinstall was a few months later. Nothing works now! I can add a project, but there is no discernible way to enter rows or count said rows. Really frustrating because this used to be awesome.


Good app but needs some tweaks

I love the fact that I can have multiple projects. I would like to be able to add notes to each project. I also want to be able to delete old projects. And while I'm at it it would be nice to sort the projects alphabetically. NEW COMMENT: I just got a new iPhone 7. How do I transfer my projects to my new phone? Or how do I export them??


Crashing

Used to work great. Synced it to iCloud and now it does nothing but crash. Reinstalling did not help. Did one sync then lost it all. So disappointing.


What happened??

Well this worked absolutely great, until the last iPhone update. Every single project disappeared. My whole thing is completely empty. Sooooo not helpful!! ?


The only thing…

I love this app, it allows me to easily track where I am in my pattern, I can also make notes on individual counters in a pattern so that I don't have to carry around paper and the like. However, say I'm knitting a sock and I have stitch counters broken down into sections (ankle, heel, instep, foot, toe), I want to organize the sections so that the one I'm on is at the top the next section is below that and the one I've just finished is at the bottom, and I can organize them like that except that when I try to move the one I've just done to the bottom a random counter floats to the top.


Please update for iOS 11!

I can’t find anything else I like to use


I used to love this app
Weises1

I recently upgraded my iPhone from 5S to 6SE. The app didn’t load any saved projects bug I thought no big deal I still had my old phone and could get info from that. I have deleted and reloaded this app 3 times and can’t get it to work with IOS 11.2.1. So sad. I LOVED this app. Please bring it back ?


Latest update won't open on iOS 10.3
KMF_1987

When I try to open the app, it flashes the prompt to install iOS 11 and then disappears. The app opens in the background (I can see it in the list of open apps) but the same behavior happens if I try to switch to it.


Crashes

Worked fine until the most recent update and now it won’t open and I’ve lost count on my work. Thanks for nothing.
