Must-have

When the print version of Stash-Bot first came out, I thought it was a brilliant idea, but that if I had the print version it would never be in my bag when I needed it. An app version is perfect. The design is clean, simple, and very intuitive to use. It’s also lovely to look at, which is a plus! I’m about to head to a fiber festival next weekend and you can be sure this will be utilized quite a few times while I’m there. The *only* thing I would add/request is something about weight (of the yarn, in oz/grams). As a spinner, it would be awesome to plug in: I want to make a sweater, in my size, at 6 st/inch, and then get to choose from different yarn weights (in either familiar “yds/100g” increments or more accurate yards per pound (ypp)) and then have returned the weight of fiber I’d need to purchase, to spin at that grist and knit the specified item.

So great!

I love this app! It's so useful for when I come across some yarn & want a rough idea of how much to purchase for different project types (I'll round up to the next full ball & add some extra for yarn-heavy stitches like cabling). This app has greatly simplified my yarn planning. It's much easier & quicker to use in an LYS than trying to navigate Ravelry's extensive yarn/pattern database before making a purchase. And, the intuitive, uncluttered, and pretty interface make it a pleasure to use.

Good but not great

This app does what it says. It does have a easy and intuitive interface. But for the price of $4.99 I hope there will be an update or maybe an extra in the future. Even if they added an accurate measuring tape as a feature. There are several other apps out there that tell you exactly the yarn requirements you will need. Some are free. So for something that cost on the higher end for an app I look forward to improvements to make this app truly special.

Love the app but needs more options

I think this app is amazing and works very smoothly, but I so badly wish it had more categories/options! I find myself making a lot of knit items for summer, too, and would love to see shirts, tanks, etc as an option as well!

It changed my life

I never had an emotional reaction to a calculator before, but recently my 34 grandchildren and I have been bickering over the amount of baby camel yarn that I store. This morning when we came in for breakfast the little bitey one showed me this app and asked me to how much yarn would it take to make a sweater for the cat. It brought a tear to my eye! Works great on iPhone 6 PLUS, and it supports metric, yay!

Great Addition to My Knitting Apps

Thank you so much for the Stashbot app. I work at a yarn store and I can estimate yardage but this app gives me the confidence to sell the correct amount for the intended project. With Stashbot I can show the customer what is needed and how it can vary from style, size, and gauge. The absolute best part is the ability to scroll and watch the visuals change instantly. I will definitely encourage all iOS users who knit to get this app and use it every time you shop for yarn for their project in a shop or in their stash. Home run, Hannah and hubby!!!

Finally !!!

I bought this yesterday and used it today. This is such a great, useful tool! I could have used this so so long ago while I was acquiring my now unbelievably large and barely useable stash. Thankfully, I have the app now, and I suspect I'll use the heck out of it. Thank you, Hannah and Abe!

Love it!

I was looking for an app that could replace the “how much do I need” cards that were never with me - this app is perfect! So simple and easy to use and the numbers have been pretty close to spot on as long as I am truthful about my gauge. Best $5 I have spent on an app in a long time!

Waste of Money

Don't pay $4.99 for this app, you'll just kick yourself for wasting money. I bought this app maybe 6-12 mo. ago and was immediately disappointed. It didn't take a week before I had deleted it. It has a nice aesthetic but you can find yardage estimation calculators for free both in the App Store and online. There is absolutely nothing in this app that justifies its price tag. Maybe if they added a few more useful features it might be worth paying $2, but as is, save your money.

Great for pre-planning & destashing

This so-easy-to-use app is useful in the yarn store, to help you buy the right quantity of yarn. And, it is also useful to help you find out what sort of item you could make from yarn quantities in your stash. Clear dials and great clicky sounds make this useful app fun, too! This is well worth the price.
