Loopsy - Crochet & Knitting

Updating my previous review. They have worked hard to fix a lot of the things that were really holding it back. It still needs work with translating complex patterns into smart patterns but it’s better than it was. It has all the features I want except a way to mark your spot when you’re using the pdf viewer. Other than that it’s the best app available right now. The developers are constantly releasing updates so I am confident this will be the best app available for a long time. Great work! Old review: This app has so much potential. It’s an amazing idea and really does combine all of the best features. The problem is they don’t work very well. The smart patterns don’t translate more complex patterns very well. And the app it’s self has a very long lag time and is not responsive. It feels clunky compared to other apps. I am still planning to keep my subscription because I think the app is improving and with time they will be able to make it work.

I have ADHD- I love to crochet but it can be hard to get my brain to actually do it, particularly because I'm always working on multiple projects and storage is unorganized chaos. Others with ADHD will probably know what i mean when I say: for me, apps are one of those things that's like crows seeing something shiny. My brain gets interested when it's aesthetically pleasing and/or not overwhelming; this app does both. I have yet to start a project but based on reviews, the developers responses, and first look at features of the app, I have a feeling this will be an amazing tool. This is probably, most likely, a me thing- but when something claims to be "2x better" or something of the sort- my brain goes hmmm but what are you even basing that off of? 2x better than what? I am still going to use the app of course, this is a super minor thing that very few people might care about. However, if you are by chance able to add a source or what you are referencing that would be amazing. Thank you for making this app! :)

Since I wasn’t able to cancel the free trial with this on time. I am unfortunately stuck with a poor running service. I’m disappointed. This app like many others have already stated, THIS HAS POTENTIAL to be a great app for crocheting and knitting. But it’s so laggy and unresponsive. Even with the iOS required update. This app still doesn’t run to the potential I think it should when I literally am stuck with this now for a year! It takes so long to get into work mode for a pattern and even when you do, you can’t actually time yourself because the clock makes the app run so bad that you can hardly scroll, let alone add a count to your counter. I really wanted to fall in love with this app and it be the ultimate app for my crochet projects. But unfortunately it’s fallen extremely short. I do love the notes and progress features, as well as the stash pile feature so you know what you have in front of your face instead of digging through skeins. So please developers, if you’re going to charge people for this app. Make it a luxurious experience it was truly meant to be. Thank you for reading this rant. :)
