Don’t waste space.

AI patterns
I'm honestly super upset. I bought this and the patterns I have looked at have all been AI. They don't even come close to the picture. They only included 1 picture and didn't even show the whole animal. Not worth it. Wish I could get my money back.
They reached out, and I've tried to continue. Found more AI photos with tutorials that are nothing like the picture.

boooo
everything is pro, and you have to pay to see 99% (maybe even more) of all the patterns in the app. and i’m pretty sure all of the pictures are AI generated and i don’t think i want to subscribe to pro.
Worse app ever
This app does not allow you to cancel. I canceled right away and it is making me pay for an entire year
Knitting and Money
Everything is locked behind a HUGE pay wall. Don’t buy this is you want to keep your money. Also, there is NO knitting content. They should change the name and image to advertise correctly. Only crocheters who are willing to pay should get this app
Disappointed by the AI
I was super excited to get the subscription and have patterns that I could get step by step instructions and track progress. I was super disappointed because the first project I tried made no sense due to AI seeming to be the sole way these are out together. The AI voice over for the videos is grating and you’re better off finding a free YouTube tutorial. I canceled my subscription immediately.
Awful
I unfortunately forgot to cancel my free trial and I’m now out $40. This app is terrible. There is no search function, which should be a basic thing to have. You can’t see the whole pattern, you have to scroll through step by step. And pretty much everything on here is AI garbage.
No thanks.
Everything I wanted this app for, had a monthly fee. How many monthly fees do these companies think we can afford??? Everything has a monthly or weekly payment from mortgage, to car payments, electric, Netflix… almost everything. If you don’t have a lifetime access option, the app is not for me.
Mediocre
I got this app because I’m a beginner crocheter and wanted to expand my projects. I picked one of the baby bunny hats and the instructions had zero details. It never specified the number of stitches, never mentioned any yarn color changes (when it needed it), and it doesn’t specify the different types of materials needed (in this case, I needed wire and didn’t know). The instructions would tell me one thing and when I asked the AI chat for extra help, it would tell me instructions completely different than the original. I was going to pay for this app but after having a terrible time with my first project of this app, I decided I’d put my money into something that is more specific, has videos on what the project should look like, and picture checkpoints.
Not able to find knitting instruction
This app does not show any options to learn to knit
It only shows crochet
Is this a fraud calling it crochet and knit??

Buyer beware! A lot of AI
Bought the subscription-you cannot search for anything you want-only browse patterns. Everything may be human created but the pattern itself doesn’t match the picture. Pictures posted on ads aren’t even available and they have the wrong estimated time on them. The AI chat feature just tells you how to make a certain stitch (sc,dc,inc etc) which you usually already know. I asked to generate a pattern and the instructions were all magic ring, increase to desired size, decrease and fasten off. That’s a generalized suggestion, not a pattern. One of the cow patterns for ears did not make any sense. “Chain 1, does not count, In Back loops only of foundation chain, 4 sc, 5sc in same stitch, work in remaining loops on opposite side, 4sc) Don’t waste your money.
Mostly AI
Most of the patterns are AI photos and don’t match the photo at all. There’s no way to report the patterns.
Nothing is Free
Unless you wanna pay a pretty hefty subscription fee, don’t waste your time: there’s NOTHING for free on this app, I couldn’t find one pattern that wasn’t part of the “pro” subscription. I totally get having a “pro subscription” section buuuut most apps still have at least a handful of options for free, if this has that I couldn’t find it anywhere. I can get all the tutorials on here for free on YouTube so why would I waste money on a weekly subscription. Waste of space.
It didn’t even let me search up anything I don’t know how to do stitch

Bad review
This app made it seem like I could just find a patternbut it said I had to pay like 40 dollars. 0/10👎👎👎👎
I hate this app
When you open the app they ask you 3 questions and then when you click on what you wanna make then I shows that you have to buy to make it like how yall gon make us buy something and make us pay for it. And yes im speaking for myself
AI generated
I do not recommend this app. There are honestly one or two patterns that actually match the descriptions. Also, the voice is not a human. It is AI generated. I am pretty good at making baskets and I saw a pattern for a crossed stitch basket so I wanted to try a different basket. The directions in the video and the pattern were for a simple single crochet basket - nothing unique at all. Do not waste your money.
Horrible
Clothes are hideous. Nothing helpful here
Not the best
You have to pay for every single thing I do not recommend it. And every picture is AI
One star this doesn’t help anything
This is the worst app ever for begginers in porvit now!
Awful application
They charge money whenever they want. It’s very expensive.
Ai
It’s all ai generated patterns an images
waste of time
So I got the app with the intention of making things on it and I assumed it was a premium because they have to make money somehow but almost everything on there is a premium and I don’t want to have to pay the premium that sounds really rude rude, but you know you don’t really want to have to pay the premium.
Couldn’t find knitting
I could only find tutorials for crochet patterns, i couldnt find ANYTHING for knitting. Extremely annoyed and frustrated.
Not very good
I was so excited when I first downloaded it, but I was then very disappointed when I saw that you had to pay for almost all of it. As a person how loves to crochet but doesn’t have a lot of money I would appreciate if you could do a lot of free patterns.
Terrible
I couldn’t crochet anything I’m having to pay
Your so sucks if I have to pay for everything that is supposed to be free!

Not honest
I wanted to test out the app, for the 7 days free before I pay the subscription.. I did in fact accept the free trail and hit notify me when trial is over.. I was charged money right after I hit accept
AI Slop
It is entirely AI slop. Shame you would charge money for garbage
Charged the subscription but won’t work now
I was charged the 3999 yearly fee for a subscription and now the app will not even load. I’ve tried deleting. I’ve tried reinstalling. I’ve tried everything and I was going to cancel my subscription because it won’t work, but there’s no way to do that so I’m screwed out of $40.
Don’t get,0 stars I would rate it as 0 stars if I could but I can’t
This would be a great app if more things were free or the subscription was cheaper I know you have to make a money off this but it could be a little cheaper, as someone who can’t afford to pay for it. Also please don’t display your patterns with AI it is very hard to tell if the pattern will actually turn out good it also just makes you look lazy because you ether couldn’t take the time to upload a photo of the thing or never actually made it at all.Also in my opinion the free projects are projects that the company saw as unworthy projects or ones now one wants to do( like me none of these projects are something I want to do ). Also I dislike the the fact that when I going to review the app on the settings it only said “ support us” as if everyone loves the app. This app was recommended to me by someone who I think payed for the subscription right off the bat and didn’t know that the free patterns really do kind of suck. Overall i dislike this app and wouldn’t recommend it .
Cancel
Could you please send me a refund
Rate
This app isn’t free
How is free trial
How come it’s free trial and ask for money I deleted it without trying it
Terrible App
Mark my words…if I ever get another scam charge from this app you will be hearing from me. What a thieving company.
Terrible.
I hate that I forgot to cancel the free trial for this. You cannot search patterns, you cannot save patterns, you can’t see more than 1 image of the final product. Seems good at first but I hate this app.
Yarnpal Review
I’m still working on project one making a bow bro she goes to fast where do u think I learned everything? YouTube ofc yarnpal is literally no help 💀
Bro
Bro stop making everything pro like let us enjoy the app for free
Heuu
This app is amazing 😍🤩 10/10 now I know how to create things
Cancelled during the free trial
I had high hopes for this app. I was so excited because it’s so pretty and I listen through one of the projects and it just seemed like something really nice but then I tried to do the solid granny square and the instructions are wrong. The instructions do not give you what the picture of the square displays and also the instructions make it impossible to make a flat square so I asked for help from the bot and the butt just kept on referring me to the picture and how it’s important account the stitches but you don’t put three double crochet in each of the first road double crochet that just doesn’t that’s not how you make the square. Very annoying and I don’t need it more annoyance in my environment. I mean I know how to I have crocheted the solid square. It’s been a while so I said let me brush up on this and the instructions were nonsensical. So I thought well I could use this app for things I haven’t made before, but then if I don’t have my own reference of knowing kind of how to make, let’s say one of those toys I mean, it would be bad so that was my experience.
Not good
All I needed was for someone to help me but I do not want to pay like come on.
Not enough
I downloaded the app and opted for the free just to see what patterns and things I can make. It was limited. So I opted to pay for the $2.99 start and thought it would unlock more things to make, but it was the same thing. I did cancel.
Tried three and struck out three!!
I think they just are not good patterns. First one was leaf. Came out so wrong I cut yarn and threw it away. Next was a coaster that came out large like pot holder and bulges in middle. Doesn't lay flat. Third was a water bottle holder which came out big to hang a plant! After those I know it wasn't me. Take 7 day trial and see but there's a reason the app patterns are really inexpensive.
Don’t get fooled
Went and downloaded after careful consideration being it said free.. well nothing is free but a 7 day trial then you have to pay 40 bucks for a year. There are way more options for free and you can get the same thing. But I guess if you don’t mind paying the price you might get what you’re looking for in the app..
just not my cup of tea for something like this.
just not my cup of tea for something like this.
Forcing me to do pro!
I came to this app looking for patterns, I can’t get pro bc I’m broke🥲 -3 stars for that just It doesn’t have any free patterns!😩
Disappointing
This app is so disappointing, every time I try to click on something it says I have to buy it, I can’t learn anything without having to buy it.
Inconsistent
I thought this would be great app as I’m a beginner, but the video and text guides don’t match each other, extra stitches and different stitches from one to the other for same pattern.
Cannot Contact!
I like the app, but I ended up paying for 2 subscriptions at 2 different prices! The ‘contact us’ link is not working in the app so I can’t get one cancelled and refunded! Would not recommend this app for that reason alone- takes your money and disappears!
