App Profile: Knit Away

I really enjoy playing this game, the colors are bright, the designs are fun, and the vibration of my phone when I pull a string is weirdly satisfying, but there are a couple of things that need work. First, I paid for no ads, but it seems to have taken away the option to watch ads to get boosters, though I can still watch an ad to get extra coins when I beat a level. Also, there needs to be some kind of daily log-in reward, because right now the only way for me to get boosters is to either pay real money or win a level to get more coins, and when I’m stuck on a level, my only option to win is to basically pay real money, since I don’t get ads for boosters. I pay to remove forced ads, but still would like the option to watch them if I want to in order to get coins and boosters.

You can use skill and strategy, but it will take many tries to complete a level. Part of the problem on a cell phone screen is fine detail selections have to be made and a slip of the finger or fat ginger pad will fail you frequently. They are stingy with rewards. The basic game board and odds that the computer will randomly give you a break is very low. The end of each game, after completing many plays, seems to be a psyche set up to get you to buy tools. I am not opposed to spending money, but these guys are greedy. I have achieved #1 twice and top 10 many times in bigger games like Candy crush. I will play a challenging round over and over to win. But no amount of strategy will get you through this. You have to pay every game to every other game to get past the end of the game odds. I think these guys are greedy. Very few opportunities to win or receive tools. I am deleting it. I gave many other satisfying games down loaded. Don’t need this. It is fun. I like it. Visually appealing. I can’t afford it.

I have enjoyed this app, and found it the most reasonable to play version of yarn sorting/knitting games. I really like the design. In an effort to support the app makers I went ahead and purchased the remove ads bundle, and I sincerely wish I hadn’t. I thought I’d still have the option of choosing to buy tools/boxes with the in game currency OR by watching an ad, and simply remove the ads that automatically pop up when you complete a level. Nope, I’m now screwed and can either delete and no longer play the game because most levels are unworkable without the extra tools/boxes or I can pay more money for the in game currency or items, which I refuse to do. So if you’re looking for a well ordained and fun yarn spring app, this is a good fit, but DON’T buy the remove ads bundle because it makes the game unplayable. So disappointed, I wish I could remove that purchase from my account, the publisher can key the money, but I’m sad I won’t be able to enjoy this lowly game anymore.
