SockCalc

This is fine for generating plain sock patterns, but any notes you write in the note section aren't saved when you exit the app. Just a warning if you plan on using this app.

I love this app! It's great to be able to have my family's measurements all in one place. I like the fact that you can change the gauge for whatever yarn and needles you are using. It is true though that it seems tat you can only make knee hi's, but I'm trying to use the basic pattern and just tweak it a bit. I would love to see an option to make any length of socks seeing as how the measurements are there already. I was a little disappointed tat you couldn't make calf, or ankle socks. Maybe a future update? It's the only reason for four stars instead of 5! It is well worth the $0.99 for this one.

I only knit "crew" length socks. All I wanted was a place to keep measurements for various people, and have it spit out a basic, top-down, crew-length pattern. I put in needle size, my gauge (row and stitch gauge), and measurements for floor to ankle, around ankle, around foot, and foot length. It will not take those & give me a pattern; I get an error. I do have my "basic" top down pattern in my head for my own size (72 stitches/72 rows, heel on 36 stitches/36 rows for simplicity). I think I can increase to 88 (I want a multiple of 4) for my husband's giant socks, but it won't even make an attempt at a pattern. DESIGNER SHOULD MAKE CLEAR - CLEAR, CLEAR, CLEAR - I CAN'T EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH - THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS PROGRAM. I won't buy another, not even for 99 cents, without reading the reviews first. This program STINKS.

I bought this app because I love the desktop software on my Mac. This app is disappointing. It doesn't have standard shoe sizes available, as does the desktop version, so I had to go searching for the required information online. (These socks are going to be gifts; I know the recipients' shoe sizes, but I don't have all of their measurements.) The app will not give you a pattern unless you fill in ALL of the fields, so I had to guess. Once I entered the data, it gave me a pattern for a knee-length sock. Who knits knee-length socks on a regular basis nowadays??? Please fix this.

Because I always have it with me! This calculates a knee-high sock, knowing you don't HAVE to make it that long. Love having access to the math!
