Latest upgrade bug?

Pattern Genius is by far my favorite knitting app. However since the latest upgrade I am having a problem. I cannot color or change the color of the stitches. The chart takes a long time to save to the app and there is an error message that says the chart is unable to sync. Charts do not sync between the app on my iPad and the app on my phone.I hope this can be fixed.

Nice features, many bugs

I primarily use an app on my mac (an old, outdated one called Intwined) for my charting, but this app has some features that Intwined can't even touch: row and pattern repeats, custom cable stitch symbols (need a 4/2/4 cable? You can do it here), brioche barks and burps, and even a few eastern/Japanese stitches in the library. When working cables, its definitely the best.If you can put up with the near-constant crashing. I have learned to NEVER hit the undo button -- which will cause a crash about 95% of the top. Instead, i manually revert things to how i want them. Its time consuming and totally unnecessary for a modern (i.e., since 1995) app, but for small charts or those with unusual stitches, its sometimes worth it.Are the extra features worth the $16/year price tag? Well, without them, its a pretty limited app. But theres not an in-app purchase option for "no crashes", so i suppose that depends on how much you can put up with crashing. That said, i wont renew my subscription for a second year.

It’s good if you don’t wanna do color work

I only gave it 3 stars because it’s a good app for creating basic designs like lace or cables, but at least let us have some basic colors with the free version.

Good design, too many crashes and loss of work

I really wanted this to work. Started playing with it and was thrilled. Then the crashes started. The crashes started coming seconds a part from each other, and when they happen, they often delete the latest work (if you are lucky). On a few occasions the crash deleted pattern entirely. Now I’m trying in small efforts, maybe that will help.A few notes. Losing the projects entirely happened when I had iCloud sync on. It didn’t help. The only place with a “save” button to use at all is in the chart set up, and it looks as if that may only save the chart settings, not the work on the chart.All the features that make the app cool are only available by subscription. Know that going in.

Ugh

I’ve had this for a couple of years. I use it on and off but each time I use the paintbrush it forces the app to close. It’s annoying to put a p for each and every box one by one because the one that does it all together crashes the app. I’ve emailed the developers before. I was told to make sure everything was updated which I did and it still crashed my app. I would love this app if it wouldn’t crash.

Desperation makes me use it.

This app needs work. Sadly, it’s the best for iPad, but that’s only because the competition is worse.It’s got a host of issues:❌Crashes constantly. It gets to where i feel a little dread if i have to hit the undo button. Undo makes most crashes.❌No Apple Pencil support! Doesn’t recognize the pen at all, not for drawing, not for picking a stitch, nothing!❌Show/hide rulers will change magnification❌No true stitch/key customization - you can rename the stitches, you can Frankenstein “new” stitches by repurposing supplied stitches, but true custom key/stitch is not there.❌I haven’t even attempted to have it go from chart to instruction yet. PC charting apps can go from text to chart and back. This one only one way.😡I had high hopes for this app. I have an iPad Pro w/pencil and wanted to be able to work directly on my charts rather than deal with PC & mouse. Very disappointed.

A Must Have App

Love and appreciate the NEW (1.5.3) app capabilities, thank you for all the hard work!!! Huge leap forward, in capabilities and speed enhancements.Had an opportunity to use new app to duplicate and alter a rather large chart originally created in the old app. WOW, what a huge improvement! On top of all the listed upgrade features, everything runs and redraws so much faster now. Use this app on an iPad Pro 10.5, iPad Mini 4 and iPhone X. No crashes, not even when tapping the back/undo icon. Adore both apps (PG and NG-KC). Very thankful they both exist!! Learned to knit using these apps, don’t think i’d have had the patience or fortitude to learn otherwise.

Update Ruined This

I have had this program for over a year and have paid to use the upgrade since first downloading it. Prior to this latest “update,” the only time I had to worry about the crashing was when using the paint brush over a large area.This app was recently updated and now crashes on near everything I do. From a simple small pattern to a large complex pattern. Whatever you changed in this update (this past week), please undo it so I can go back to only the expected crash of overusing the paint brush.Thank you,An Avid Designer.

Good design, lots of crashes

Backing up isn’t working, and the crashes are deleting my work.

Invaluable

I have been using PG for years and love it. Being a chart person this gives me the ability to build my own that I can then pop into knitCompanion. The recent improvements are icing on the cake, the tools are so awesome and real time savers. I have designed charts for my own designs also which is very satisfactory. I say often that working in PG is better than “Prozac” for me, Zen time.😻
