Knit Handy App Reviews

Happy with my purchase, but only 4* because you can choose measurements units, but not in the gauge portion!

I own a yarn shop, and I use this app a lot (I also use and sell the pamphlet version.) The only thing missing is afghan yardage - afghans are in the crochet versions, and Id love to see them here. I also disagree with the review who says the sizes only go to medium - the sweaters go up to a 54" chest, which is a 3X.

Love this simple guide to yarn sizes and requirements. Easy to use. Both imperial and metric info. It gives yarn requirements for many types of projects for your head, hands, torso, and feet. The sweater sizes go from 26" (2 years) through 54". Ann Budds information is rare and handy.

How about adding a category for afghans and baby blankets and more sizes for scarves

Very useful, especially on the go. FYI - The vest and sweaters do go up to a 54" circumference.

I knit a lot of blankets. In lots of different types of yarn. Trying to do the math can give me a headache... This app could be handy, but... NO OPTION FOR BLANKETS!! They have for a sweater, mittens, scarves, SOCKS!! But nothing for blankets. A very simple equation and they didnt include it... And my search continues.

Ive been searching for an app that would calculate projects and thought this was the answer. It does help with very basic projects in a VERY basic way (scarves, mitts, hats, etc.), but I was surprised to find that it doesnt include common projects like blankets, doesnt let you enter your own sizes into the calculator, doesnt separate projects by sex (e.g. Mens gloves - which would help with size), and the list goes on. For a company as well-known as Interweave to create such a limited resource is perplexing. After all, they should know what knitters need. This seems like it was designed by someone who has never touched yarn. In addition, there is NO feedback mechanism in the app or way to request enhancements. Altogether a disappointment. After purchasing this I found a better project calculator on the web. Oh well...
