HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (3.5 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ The ability to look at the pdf in the app is useless, you're unable to increase the size to be able to read it.

★★★★★ This is so sad, the app won't even let me get to the Contact for Help screen , let alone setting up a project!!!
★★★★★ I really, really want to support y'all and keep using this, but the update made it so much less user-friendly that I will probably just go to paper patterns after I finish this project.

★★★★★ the app does all the math for you and consolidates your choices into a neat, easy to follow pattern!

6 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ There are a couple of enhancements I'd like to see (like, a way to check off the steps as you go - especially for those patterns whose instructions say, “Do steps 4 through 8 six more times;” to be able to tick off the…
★★★★★ I find this app extremely helpful so far with the sizing and making sure that you follow that certain size instead of getting lost like in most patterns with the million sizes.
★★★★★ I reached out for a little help early on when the functionality wasn't intuitive for me, but after clearing that up, the app was so helpful.

Won’t add pattern

Won’t let me add a pattern, just keeps saying I’m not signed in when I am. Can’t use.

What Happened?

This is so sad, the app won’t even let me get to the Contact for Help screen , let alone setting up a project!!! Total waste of my time.

App is unusable without making an account. I don’t want to provide my email address to another app. Installed, browsed for a bit, had no functionality as a guest user, then deleted.

★★★★★Apr 30, 2026
Sadly this update ruined it

The original app was fabulous. This update, as others have said, ruined everything. I scratch my head over why, why would this update wipe out all my progress on patterns that I purchased?? Why eliminate the very useful row counting function? And then expect us to pay for this? I wish/hope TKN will reconsider this update. I will not be using this app for now. It’s too frustrating. ☹️

★★★★★Apr 20, 2026
Only paid patterns work

I downloaded the app to try and get back into knitting and remembered loving tin can knits. Since I want to brush up first I figured I knit something free before paying for a bundle of patterns. None of the links for the free patterns work. You can’t add anything free to your library even though it says you can add two patterns.

★★★★★Apr 12, 2026
Inexcusably bad

I loved this app before. It’s how I learned to knit and was so intuitive and quietly helpful. They recently did an “upgrade” and everything that was good about it is gone. The tutorials aren’t linked within the steps anymore (despite what the recent update claims); I have to navigate away from my library and then come back to it in order to see the patterns I’ve purchased; and half the time whatever I’m trying to open or load or just do throws an error message and tells me to try again. I don’t care that there weren’t as many patterns in the old version. It worked. This one may have more patterns but it’s completely worthless from a usability standpoint. I’ve bought a couple of patterns from TKN but I won’t be buying any more. I can’t believe the audacity of offering a paid/subscription version of this slop.
