Knitting Genius - Knit Easy!

Before I even begin a project with this app, I can already say I’m liking the tutorial videos all being in one easy-to-get-to place. However, there hasn’t been any sound in any of the videos I’ve tried. Not sure at the moment if my sound is malfunctioning, or if audio simply isn’t available. I do wish the various buttons/icons were labeled for those who rely on voiceover. (For those who aren’t aware, voiceover is a built in screen reader used by the blind and visually impaired. I use voiceover occasionally when my eye condition causes a bad eye day and makes me do all tasks in a non-visual manner.) If this were the case, I would likely use this app regularly. For now, I can always hope for improvement on the accessibility features. Meanwhile, I’ll explore my way around during my good eye days. I did explore the cardigan pattern. From what I understand of this app, directions are supposed to be available on a line by line basis. I can find the individual lines...but cannot figure what the actual directions are. I just find text that says “repeat the schema” for a certain number of times. How do I know what “the schema” is? Perhaps a simple “knit all stitches” or K1P1 across row” would be helpful.

I’ve used this for a couple projects and the only thing I’d change is having the counters start at 0 instead of 1. Maybe just a personal preference but I like setting up all my counters ahead of time, so it bugs me to have one say 1 when I’m not at that part yet.

This app has knitting patterns, but I can’t figure out how to look at an entire pattern before deciding whether to take it on. It just shows step-by-step directions, and skipping to the next instruction is very difficult. It also apparently has no way to modify a pattern within the app. For instance, a pullover pattern says to use size 6 needles. I don’t want to spend the next three years of my life knitting it, so I’d rather use size 8. Guess what? There’s no way to select your preferred needle size. Very disappointing!

I’m a (rusty) beginner to knitting and i downloaded a few apps to get back in the hang of different stitches. This app provides videos as well as stitch counters and several free patterns. I’m using the free version of the app and it’s been awesome so far, it gives step by step instructions for patterns and lists all the materials you’ll need.

I keep having to back into the project because it has marked it as finished. I’m deleting this app and trying something else, because it’s causing more difficulty than it’s worth!
