Love This App!!!
Yarncollector

I’m a fairly new weaver & was sooo excited to discover this App for my IPad! After trying it out, I purchased the add-on’s also. It is well worth the price! What a wonderful tool to have.


IWeaveIt

I purchased and paid for the program thinking it would help. I cannot wrap my stoke brain around this program. I’ve been weaving since approximately 2014. I’m not exactly a beginner but a stroke in 2016 makes it just too difficult and frustrating. It must be a good program but not for me. Nancy Sines


Nice for editing but poor file system
Elc9856

I am new to weaving but I think I understand this app fairly well. I do like that you can modify so many aspects of the files. Unfortunately you cannot specify where the files are saved so if you have downloaded one from the internet and open, then save it seems to always go into the “on my iPad” folder. So these are not in the iCloud Drive! Do I have to move everything so I can see it on another device? Also some of the files (in the Samples folder) do not show the threading unless you click on it to edit, but still does not show or print it. It would also be nice if you could set defaults, such as treadling or lift, number of shafts, etc. so you don’t have to do this for each wif. If these features are there please let me know how to find them!


Great for beginning weavers on IPad

The cost and ease of use make this a good entry level app for beginning weavers. Yes, do read the manual as the app has more than it appears on the surface. But it is most fun just playing around. Start with a saved .wif file (handweaving.net, Heddlecraft magazine, or Handwoven magazine) and just change things. It helped me understand the mechanics of weave structures. And the support (provided by the author of the app) was very helpful.


Why more money
craftjunkie

I can’t believe this program does not include counts for colors and total calculations for needed yarn. Really you have to purchase this separately, that should be part of the cost for the program.


Files missing
Karen04627

I am pleased with this app because it is so easy to use. But, my files keep disappearing AND I am getting somebody else’s files mixed in with mine. I emailed help and the response I got was, “I have no idea. I don’t know. It’s all in Apple iOS File system. Nothing I can do.” Huh?


Works
PavementGirl

This app wouldn’t work when I first got my iPad. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, which worked. The app does what it should.


Totally irritated!
CheriMo

This "major update to the file management system" resulted in taking something that was easy and simple and replacing it with something cumbersome and clunky. You can’t even specify where you want to save a pattern. The condescending "did you forget?" comment is really uncalled for too. I am beyond unhappy.


Errors After Update
Crust he

I have used iWeaveIt happily and successfully for years, and have become very familiar with its use. Since the recent update, however, I am now getting serious calculation and filing errors. The program is currently telling me, for example, that a warp of 315 threads sett at 20 epi is 3.27 inches wide. I am using iWeaveIt 4.1.


So far so good
Rengarch

I am new to weaving and thus still learning. It would be nice to have the app tally up the number of heddles so that I can check to be sure that I have threaded it correctly. Right now I print out the sheets and tally up the 4 heddles manually. Also it would be nice during the editing mode to scroll with accidentally moving or adding a threading position, this is also true with the treading. Otherwise it has been great to keep tract of the lifting of the shafts while weaving. I am sure I will get better at weaving with this App.
