## PatternGenius Reviews in United States

### ****- "Almost there"
easy to use on iPad and desktop, but lacks a few features:

I would like to be able to make multiple charts in one project so that I can have a new blank page or duplicate a current chart and make changes
and/or
copy a project and give it a new name.

It would also be helpful if I could select a range on a chart and use the delete stitch key to "batch" clear a section of the chart.
-- NannyX2, 2024-10-16

### ****- "Almost perfect"
This app is almost perfect. I use this for almost every knitting project, because I can't just knit a pattern as written! I have a few very minor quibbles, but I haven't found anything better. Sometimes it crashes when I am trying to undo something. It would be cool if we could specify if the boxes in the grid were square or more rectangular, which would give a better idea of how the pattern would look knitted up. I also wish I could flip a pattern vertically (over the x axis) as well as horizonally. But other than those few things, this program is Fabulous.
-- EllieKnits, 2023-09-09

### *---- "Ugh"
I’ve had this for a couple of years.  I use it on and off but each time I use the paintbrush it forces the app to close. It’s annoying to put a p for each and every box one by one because the one that does it all together crashes the app. I’ve emailed the developers before.  I was told to make sure everything was updated which I did and it still crashed my app. I would love this app if it wouldn’t crash.
-- knitprincess83, 2022-04-02

### ****- "Latest upgrade bug?"
Pattern Genius is by far my favorite knitting app. However since the latest upgrade I am having a problem. I cannot color or change the color of the stitches. The chart takes a long time to save to the app and there is an error message that says the chart is unable to sync. Charts do not sync between the app on my iPad and the app on my phone.

I hope this can be fixed.

### *---- "Must pay for basic functionality"
The app should not be 'free'. Anything I tried to do in the app was behind a paywall.

In addition, the interface is confusing and not optimised for macos
-- riverlethe9, 2021-02-01

### ***** "And the clouds rolled back, and the angels sang..."
Is this the best charting app available? 
Yes
Did I buy an iPad just so I could get it?
Yes
Am I overjoyed that now I can also have it on my Mac?
Why yes, yes I am.

I've bought the annual subscription each year, and developments like this let me know that it's worth every penny and then some.

I especially appreciate the decision to let the subscription carry over from iOS to Mac.
-- RivkaRafaela, 2020-11-13

### ***-- "It’s good if you don’t wanna do color work"
I only gave it 3 stars because it’s a good app for creating basic designs like lace or cables, but at least let us have some basic colors with the free version.
-- Hey you should smile, 2020-09-19

### **--- "Good design, too many crashes and loss of work"
I really wanted this to work.  Started playing with it and was thrilled. Then the crashes started.  The crashes started coming seconds a part from each other, and when they happen, they often delete the latest work (if you are lucky). On a few occasions the crash deleted pattern entirely. Now I’m trying in small efforts, maybe that will help.

A few notes. 
Losing the projects entirely happened when I had iCloud sync on. It didn’t help.  

The only place with a “save” button to use at all is in the chart set up, and it looks as if that may only save the chart settings, not the work on the chart.

All the features that make the app cool are only available by subscription.  Know that going in.
-- Kate of all Kates, 2020-08-15

### *---- "Desperation makes me use it."
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.
-- RosieCates, 2020-05-20

### ***-- "Good design, lots of crashes"
Backing up isn’t working, and the crashes are deleting my work.
