HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (86 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. 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.

★★★★★ I'm canceling my subscription because of this- I used to really love the app but it seems there is no support and no willingness to update to make sure it functions.
Lost data, sync, backup11%

19 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The colours that was installed with the app has also disappeared.
★★★★★ And with no true synchronization amongst devices, an annual subscription, especially at such a high price, is pretty audacious.

Missing features6%

11 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Very confusing UI and lack of info about subscription levels.

WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • I want to be able to browse my OneDrive, select a pdf, and start a project. 3★, Jun 9, 2026
  • We need a simple android reader, not some 20 steps that won't get you what you need. 1★, Apr 4, 2026
  • When I try to log in to Dropbox, I need a code, but switching over from the app to check the code makes me log in again, so the code is no longer valid. 3★, Jul 28, 2024
  • I wish there was a way to reset it 😞 5★, Feb 21, 2024
  • And if I don't, I appear to have paid a sub this year for something that should have been free. 1★, Dec 17, 2023
  • Needs to add the ability to store and save to Google Drive on BOTH Android and Apple. 1★, Dec 15, 2023
  • I do wish there was an option to purchase the essentials as a one-time payment rather than as an annual subscription. 3★, Jun 3, 2023
  • Usefully for my knitting projects, but I would love to see the same feature set that is available for iOS brought over to android. 4★, Feb 4, 2023

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026

I love using the app

★★★★★Oct 6, 2026

The paid version of knit companion has improved my pattern tracking so competently. I regularly find new functions that enhance managing my projects . I highly recommend it knitters and crocheters. It's easily just as benficial to beginners as well as advanced crafters.

★★★★★Oct 5, 2026

Great App really like the design would recommend to download this app

★★★★★Sep 27, 2026

I find this very difficult to use. My row high lighter disappe3ared and I am unable to retrieve it. The colours that was installed with the app has also disappeared. I have had to make my own colour when but it doesn't align properly. I emailed for assistance but they were not a lot of help. All this is for the paid version which I have had for about a month. I tried to cancel my subscription but have to wait the year out. No free trial nothing! I can see the value in it if it works properly but

★★★★★Sep 8, 2026

I had high hopes of this app as it does all the things I would want it to...unfortunately as I have started to work with it, the glitches show...is it because there is some fundamental incompatibility between the latest Samsung upgrade and the app, I wonder...but it crashes, freezes and interpets my tablet as a phone, goes blank when I enlarge the window and wipes pictures on my patterns!!!!! so disappointing.

★★★★★Aug 19, 2026

I've been using this for a few months and got the paid version. I like the features but I can't justify paying a $30 annual subscription for an app that hasn't had any functional updates in so long that the video tutorials are 6 years old. And with no true synchronization amongst devices, an annual subscription, especially at such a high price, is pretty audacious.
