CrochetCreator

Well, this is the hardest possible way to create a pattern. It would take me 10 years just to create a basic motif. The most basic items exist, but the buttons & tools don’t respond. The stitch library has only a couple of very simple stitches, then a few very complex ones, but about none of the middle, common stitches. This thing works like the programmer has an ego problem & refuses to understand what is actually needed. It’s impossible to line up or orient anything. The rotator is a weird illogical dial in the tool bar instead of being a handle on the stitches. I could go on, but… Whoever is writing this app clearly doesn’t crochet and needs to listen to and OBEY THE ACTUAL CROCHETER.

I downloaded this app and bought the grey and red expansions. I’m not exactly impressed with it so far. I think it could be great with some further development, like more symbols added, or the ability to create symbols. Not the, easiest for bigger charts, I started with a row of 90 chains and it’s taking forever. You also can’t select more than one symbol at a time, for example if you wanted to move or resize a section.

I downloaded the app thinking it might help in drawing crochet charts and find it EXTREMELY disappointing. No instructions, have to manipulate the screen to even start a new chart and VERY limited symbols. It was full of ads so I spent the $2.99 to remove the ads thinking maybe that would open up the menus and add more symbols. It did neither. I consider this a total and complete waste of money. Do not bother downloading it. Response to developer sent via e-mail: The opening screen it completely white that only shows search box. If you tap in left corner blank space a "purchase or restore" windows appears. If you type on the right corner blank space the creation window appears. There is the ? with limited instruction on moving the canvas and a whopping 7 crochet symbols. What shows on the App Store pictures is not anything that actually shows on my iPhone or my iPad. I tried in on both devices with the same result. This app is completely disappointing, not user friendly, and a waste if the $2.99 I paid to get rid of the ads thinking that $2.99 would give me better instructions and tools. I will not be recommending it to any of the crochet community that I design patterns for.
