Ravit - Ravelry on the hop

The major drawback I’m seeing with this app is that when patterns have both a free and paid version available on Ravelry, there is no information about the free version. You can copy a link from the app and open it in your browser, which is what I do to check for free pattern version, but it’s a hassle and I don’t like that the app makes no mention whatsoever of the free pattern. I like that it works offline though because I never get service in my favorite craft store, so trying to check my patterns to buy the right yarn is much easier with this app! UPDATE The link problem that I mentioned seems to have been fixed with the most recent update. Thanks to the developer for their response and quick fix! I’m updating my review from 3 stars to 5.

I LOVE THIS APP! It makes browsing Ravelry patterns appear in a viewing style much more like Pinterest. I look at the app to view new patterns loaded to Ravelry almost everyday now and I look forward to the experience. I have also saved far more than the fee I paid for this app in the amount of patterns I have downloaded for free during the limited free offering period a designer sometimes allows when they first post their pattern. This app notifies me when I have new Ravelry messages so I now read my messages much sooner than I did before. Also, there are great features to filter what patterns you want to see and much more. I can’t thank the app creators enough in how much this has added to my knitting enjoyment. Many thanks!

This app WORKS. it’s concise and allows u to browse patterns, yarns, and most of your Ravelry ‘notebook’. The pics are beautiful and quick to load, scrolling thru patterns and favorites is even easier with this than it is on Ravelry. I’ve always hated that Ravelry doesn’t have a mobile app that matches the functionality of its desktop site, but now it does. Casey and Beth have created such a fabulous platform for us all, and now finally this app allows us to have that same level of functionality on our mobile devices. It’s absolutely worth the price, because it’s being updated with new functions pretty regularly based on user requests, and having the ability to use this on my phone makes escaping away to ‘knitland” so much easier. I’ve tried other apps over the years that claimed to make Ravelry easier to navigate via mobile devices, but none actually did. This one is a home run.
