The Knitter Magazine App Reviews

Some times it just stops.

The app works great and my gripes are minimal. 1) I wish there was a readily available way to save patterns as PDFs to be able to use them in knitting apps like knitCompanion without having to take screenshots and convert those. The patterns would end up clearer. 2) Id like for the magazines to be available offline for when there is no wifi access nearby. 3) Subscriber-exclusive patterns should also be provided to digital subscribers.

Thanks for bringing us such a marvelous magazine and app to experience all it offers. Well done.

Update 31 March : Transfer is ok now. But the old App was much better. The New one has no possibility to search s. th. through all issues. The new issues arrive late... Forget it! The Transfer does not work. The support is not reachable, because "the Knitter" is not mentioned in the pull down menue. Some of my purchased issues are missing...

I used to subscribe... But cancelled when the New Knitter App arrived. I cancelled for two reasons: 1. Month to month payment option for a subscription is no longer available and I wasnt inclined to pay $149 US each for this magazine and Simply Knitting (a related magazine from the same publisher) per year; and 2. When I downloaded archived versions of the magazines under my transferred subscription all of the pages are a blank black page and unreadable.

I really enjoy the Knitter Magazine for its articles, patterns, and Master Classes. However, the yearly subscription price has gone over the roof!

Love this magazine! I have knit projects for others and they get so many compliments whenever they wear them. Designs from the very practical to the very elegant.

I love that I can bookmark in any issue, find it and go back to it from any issue. Love that I can print out pattern to mark up as I knit it. Love the links within the issues.

Cant access any of the issues I purchased in the past with this new app.

This new app apparently does not allow you to print a page from the magazine. When you are trying to knit a pattern with a chart and you want to follow row by row, printing it out is the easiest way--or importing it into another app where you can mark the rows. The old app allowed this. The new app has no option to do either. So my magazines are no good to me anymore. I will cancel my subscription.

Could have finished the socks I was knitting with the time I have spent trying to get this app to work. Will not recognize my iTunes subscription and I keep being told that it is fixed. 3 strikes.

I just downloaded the new app and it wont let me sync with my old purchased additions. I just lost about 50 dollars worth of magazines!! That is not cool

I also lost all my old digital issues, this new app isnt working!! Customer support answered but twice their solution wont work. Yuk

Love love the magazine but since new app constantly says order or pay and my subscription is good for three more months. Cannot access my old issues. I am totally fed up.

At first, I had the same problem as Crafty Librarian but I stayed with it and eventually they were able to get all my old issues synced and the rest of my subscription. I do so love getting Knitter on my iPad and Im certainly happy the issue was resolved but it took more time and energy to get that to happen than I thought should have been needed. Please dont mess it up again! I like it too much!

This is what I did after updating to the new app. It took time but all of my old issues were back so it was worth it to me. Do not delete your old app. If you did, get it back and reinstall all of your old issues. Go to the Apple App Store and install the new app. Use the restore my purchases option. After a while you should be able to see those issues again and they should be ready for down load. If not, close the app, turn off your iPad, wait a bit and turn it on again. Go to the new app and sync. I did not delete the old app just in case. This is the most inelegant way of upgrading but it worked for me. The publication isnt exactly the most economical and one would think the IT group would had thoroughly tested the upgrade. Overall, five stars for a great magazine, one star for the upgrade process.

One of my little luxuries is reading this with my morning coffee.

After nearly a month, numerous emails between several people and a lot of frustration, I finally have access to my subscription. My year subscription purchased in the old app was recognized as a free trial during the app transfer- why it took weeks to be diagnosed and fixed I dont know.

Slow and sticky. Magazine is excellent. App? Needs a revamp of the revamp

I have been very frustrated with the new app. I have not been able to get all my purchases restored, even after contacting Customer Service. Every time I open the app, it asks me to subscribe...and I have had a subscription for over a year. It really like the magazine, but it makes me want to cancel my subscription. Please fix the issues!
