Knitamus

Knitamus is a must-have for every knitter I know. It helps me keep track of where I’m at in my project, and the developer has thought of everything! Charts? ✔️ Repeats? ✔️ Notes? ✔️ Repeating Notes? ✔️ Ravelry Syncing? ✔️ Photos? ✔️ Pattern Storage? ✔️ I’ve used Knitamus for years and the new version looks completely new and modern. If you are struggling to keep track of your repeats, row counts or notes, I can’t recommend Knitamus enough. It is a stable app too, and the developer support is very responsive.

Knitamus is a great app which will connect to your Ravelry account and import your projects. You can sync all of your devices by using iCloud syncing which means no matter where you are, you can update your projects. I create a new project and it appears in Ravelry. I added photos for my project and they appear in Ravelry as well. Keep up with your status and see it on Ravelry. Basically, Knitamus helps me keep up with my projects on Ravelry. Do you use charts? If you do, Knitamus is the best app for charts. I imported my pattern from Ravelry (open PDF from Ravelry library and then Share to Knitamus), and added the charts to my project. Then I resized the page, so that the charts are the perfect size, and highlighted the row I’m on. The page will lock after a minute to keep you from accidentally moving your location. There is an unlock button that you tap to move to your next row. I love this app for charting. Does your project have a lot of repeats? Knitamus can help you keep track of them. I really like Knitamus and recommend it for all knitters. It’s really helped me keep track of my Ravelry projects. Whereas before Knitamus, I would just update Ravelry every few months. Knitamus makes it seamless.

This app is a godsend.... in theory! The chart view is such a great idea... if only I could actually highlight the row of the chart and view it at a glance. I can’t easily move the chart around or see the entire row I’m on. Right now I can only view part of the row and not the full width of it. I can’t for the life of me zoom out, and moving the chart around is very cumbersome- if not impossible. Moving the chart around seems to work 25% of the time and I haven’t figured out what makes it work that quarter of the time. It’s a great row counter but that is a pretty simple functionality and for the cost not really worth it. I do like that my phone won’t lock while using it. If it actually did what it promises to do with the chart view, I’d pay 3x as much for this app! Knitamus would have a gold mine here if it could actually get the app to work as intended. Knitters will pay to have their charts easily accessible and their position saved and highlighted rather than carrying around paper patterns but as it is I still can’t do that with this app. Please keep working to perfect it!!!!

As a relatively new knitter tackling a complex multi piece pattern as my third project ever, Knitamus has been fantastic! I love the integration with Ravely.

I used to love this app, and constantly recommended it to knitting friends. It used to work beautifully. Now, since the last "update" it's buggy, laggy, and constantly crashes. I was 10 rows into a complex cable pattern, and when I hit the counter to move to row 11 it instead wiped my project clean and reset my counter to zero. I set the whole project up again, reset the first 10 rows of the repeat, and once again I advanced to row 11 and the project was wiped. Pretty upset that I paid for an app that's now almost entirely useless. It works sometimes, but it's like playing knitting roulette.

Doesn't work like advertising. Not sure how it works at all.

While it is nice to view multiple pages of a pattern at one time, I wish I could still decrease the row counter and display the corresponding page. I know it seems like a small thing, but if I frog a project I don't want to have to set up the pattern all over again. Notification about the change in subscription options would have been nice, I'm now halfway through a $20 annual subscription to an app that now costs $10. I know there's upcoming features, but I may not be interested in any of these features and I don't have any idea if these new features for those with subscriptions will even be available after the subscription expires. I want to love this app because I thought it was really amazing when I purchased, and now it's lost a lot of its glitter and has left frustration in its wake.

I just started my new project with this program on my phone. The sweater has different side patterns and a major cable section in the middle, plus there are different row repeats, as well as increases, to account for. This is SO EASY in this app, and so HELPFUL. Has already saved me a few times! You do need to figure out how to use the app, but once you have, it is totally worth it!

This app is an amazing tool in a subtle package. It really begins to show off it's usefulness when you use it to knit a multi-piece project like a sweater, where there are often multiple things going on, like neck and arm shaping at the same time, or color-changes and bust-shaping. The repeating notes make it simple to turn "repeat increase row every 5th row, 8 times" into a note that will remind you at the appropriate time. The chart-tracking will notice when you go back to the beginning of a repeated chart and will adjust it's position automatically on subsequent repeats. I highly suggest that you check out the intro videos on the developers site to see all the neat little features included. :) Updated to add: The latest version adds the ability to track 2 charts at once, helping with that complex lace, or just giving access to your symbol key. So handy!

I'm keeping track of my progress as I learn to knit. I've imported a pattern for the future but for now I'm using the excellent photos tracking. Have had no usage problems. Very easy to use.
