Easy to use, helpful, my „crochet“ brain
This app is really the best I found so far for my crochet projects. You can add projects, start it, pause for months and when you pick it back up, you will know exactly where you ended, what size hook you used etc. If you took the 5 minutes to add all the info to your project at the beginning, you will know how much yarn you have left, where you bought the yarn, at which price. You can add due dates to your projects - and all that is in the free version! I think you can have 10 projects in the free version, if you want more and have some more functions & no ads, the yearly subscription is really not expensive and I will get it as soon as I have a bit of spending money for myself. If I could give 5 stars and a +, I would. Thanks to the development team, this is really my crochet brain!
Also, which I first didn’t discover, it has a tools section which is super convenient: a row counter for random quick work that isn’t connected to any project you have open, conversion tools to convert mm to inches, yards to meters and back etc.
It also has a yarn substitute calculator where you can add info (skeins/meters/weight) on the yarn that is recommended to use in the pattern and then you add the yarn you‘d like to use/have available. It will calculate how many skeins/meters you will need of the yarn you want to use, which is a really genius trick for all of those who buy random yarn and decide much later they want to use it for a certain project (like…me). You will be able to know beforehand if the yarn you own will be enough for the project and won’t end up unraveling everything because your yarn ended at 3/4 of the project and you can’t find the brand / Color anymore.
no ads(!) and nice functionality
The design is sleek and customizable. A one-time purchase for pro is available which I think is very nice. I‘d wish for more stats under the three-bars section in each project, like how many meters of yarn in total was used. I‘d also love a stats page that gives you an overview of everything that was ever made, and the possibility to multi-select yarn from the stash to change one attribute in all of them. And links to webpages would be cool to store in the pattern section! Also one issue I found: when adding yarn to a project I was unable to add eight and a half skeins, because I have a german keyboard and so the number board gives me a , comma instead of a . point and the app doesn’t recognize that. I can copypaste a point in there and then it works.
Great App
I really love and enjoy using Yarn Buddy. Even so much that I bought the pro version a few days ago and I never regretted it. It’s really easy to use and make cataloging stash and tools so very easy.
The only problem I have is, that I can’t use the Pro version of the app on my MacBook but that’s just me being nit picky.
Great overview
I like the great overview of projects and most of it the stach information 🙌🏼
Well done
I love the app - it‘s easy to use, I love the linkable counters and it‘s a great help while keeping track of my crochet projects.
The only minor negative thing is that I can‘t get the app Widget to work (it always shows no current project found), it doesn‘t properly sync with my Apple Watch and I can‘t use it simultaneously on both ipad and iphone because well, it doesn‘t sync.
But other than that this app is well worth it‘s money if you need something to collect your row counters and pattern notes.
