Yarnify 4+

Too Inconsistent

When this app works, it works great, and I was really excited at the possibility of using it to keep track of multiple projects with multiple components AND being able to use it on my watch. But it’s too inconsistent for me to say that the app really works.

It will add or subtract rows all on its own, which means counting rows by hand - the very task I was hoping to avoid when I purchased the app and that it’s designed to replace. There’s no way to subtract a row if the app has added it on its own or if one is added with an accidental tap. (Update: I read another review that was also frustrated with the inability to subtract a row and it turns out that it’s possible through a force press, so I’m less frustrated now. Still frustrated with the way it drops rows on its own though. I had to frog 440 stitches when I realized that issue.)

Overall, I’m not sure it’s worth the price - I could’ve messed up my counting without the app and used that money to buy an Egg McMuffin or something. Hopefully these issues are resolved in a future update because, like I said, I was really excited at the potential and LOVE that it’s on my watch.

Developer Response ,

I’m sorry to hear you are having trouble with Yarnify. I have submitted an updated version to the AppStore (1.0.3), which should resolve any issues regarding cloud synchronization. Please let me know, if that solves the problem for you at support@dschu.de. Thank you for the time you took to write your review.

Watch update broke it

I’ve been using this pretty successfully for years. Great to have multiple projects. I have it as a complication on my watch face so I can quickly tap the count when needed. This last watch update broke the app so that every time I tap my the face the app needs to launch from scratch instead of just taking me to my active count. That means I need to navigate a few screens to tap the count. Any lans for an update?

I’m sorry to hear you are having trouble with Yarnify. To count up, press the “+” button on the piece detail view. The “-“ button to count down is hidden unless you force press and then activate the “Show Minus Button” option. You can also press the “Minus” option, if you want to count down once, but keep the minus button hidden in the detail view. Once you activate the pattern repeat, you should see a different counter suited for working with patterns.
Please contact me at support@dschu.de for further assistance.

Not working with Apple Watch anymore

Up until now I liked this app a lot. I downloaded the latest Apple iOS software update & now it no longer appears as an app option on my watch. When I go on my iPhone to reload it it says the app was purchased but it no longer appears on my watch as an
option. PLEASE NOTE UPDATE BELOW 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🥲

Update: Julian helped me a great deal walking me through the process of going through the App Store on my watch (not my iPhone). Apple prompted me I already purchased the app & just redownloaded it. Works fine now!!! I appreciate Julian’s patience & perseverance.
