Wooly for Ravelry App Reviews

What happened to the access to my needle records? That was the whole reason I paid money for this app. That and it HAD the best interface to search my stash. This was my favorite knitting app before, but now its useless. What were they thinking? This upgrade basically threw out all the best parts. Ive never heard of an upgrade where the developers actually REMOVE something it used to do. Makes no sense. Can I get my old version back?

Don’t believe the raving, positive reviews you see here. None of it is true. I updated this app in November 2014, and a few weeks later, found myself in my LYS, checked this app to check what was in my needle stash (so I don’t buy things needlessly), and it was no longer accessible. So I was back to old days of hoping that I had the correct needles because I don’t want to buy something I don’t need. Later, when checking to see if I had just missed that feature, I found that NOPE, it was the app. And camera feature? What camera feature? Upload photos? You’re kidding. Also, I no longer have the ability to view what type and amount of yarn, needles, etc. are needed for a particular item in my queue. And, there are some weird typos in there. “Send us AND email?” Also, “New Project and “New Stash” still flash the message “Coming Soon”. Yes, I’m running the most updated version for iPhone. Yes, all these features were available before the crazy November 2014 “update". Did the developers sell this app to some big Yahoo!-type company whose main goal is to take what was a wonderfully-developed app and turn it into garbage??!! Can we "upgrade" to the old version? It was far more useful.

I find this to be a very attractive app, and it’s functioning reasonably well for me, but it doesn’t have all the features that some of the others do - there is no access to the forums, for example. So, it’s ok, and I do like the interface, but it doesn’t quite do it for me.

This app used to be great. Since downloading the updates, I havent been able to open the app once. Every time I try to open the app it immediately crashes. Please fix it!

The UI of this version definitely looks nicer than what was previously available, but I feel like some of the functionality was sacrificed in this newer version. I can kind of make it work, but Im not terribly happy about it.

I have an iPhone 6 plus running iOS 8.1.3 and after installing the update the app constantly crashed while trying to just open it. I deleted, restarted and reinstalled and then I could at least open the app. But now the app continually crashes and closes whenever I attempt to just view my stash. I can enter a new stash okay but then I can never view it. I had really hoped this version would at least make the app iPhone 6+ compatible and resolve the previous photo upload issues. Back to the mobile Ravelry site via Safari.

What I loved about the app is now gone. The review I wrote in 2013 sadly does not apply to the new version. I miss the old Wooly. From 2013: $3 is very little to pay for this app. I really like being able to update photos on my Ravelry project page. The photo editor is awesome. Color corrections are easy and the sharpness feature works well. I like having my needles and stash handy: much faster to view over 3G when WiFi isnt available at an LYS. And now Wooly is on my iPad! Keep up the good work, guys! Beth2 on Ravelry

If I could give this less than one star, I would. Wooly was never a fantastic app, but it was useful. Now it is trash. Doesnt always show all of my WIPs, crashes 85% of the time, not so user friendly. I like that there should be more options on the app than there used to be, but they dont work at all because the app just crashes. I just want a Ravelry app that works!!!

Crashes constantly and it has only a few features of ravelry. Its like they released this app when it was only a third of the way developed.

I just bought this app and so far I hate it. It only has landscape view and after attempting to add to my stash the save button wont work. Please update and fix issues that have been mentioned by users so I dont have to request my money back! :)

I have a new iPhone and trying to update my projects but obviously their is a glitch and it needs to be fixed because I cant keep the app open to add pics. It also created 20+ skeins of stash yarn that I had to manually delete from my computer! Very frustrating to buy an app and have these problems!

I had great hopes for this app, it crashes, it doesnt synchronize with my Ravelry projects. I really wanted to "like" this app, maybe they will fix it, I hope they do...

I purchased this app, but, disappointingly, cant figure out a single thing to do with it. I thought it was part of Ravelry?? Id love a refund, please!

On my iPad mini. I cant believe I did it again, bought an app without first checking the reviews. This should be removed from the App Store. Removing in case it contains a virus

Cannot enter complete project details. Cannot enter stash or needles. Crashes in each section.

I originally bought this app when it was first introduced. Each subsequent update has made it prettier but less and less useful. Now, it seems, the developers have just given up. -- The app is a great launch point and is helpful as-is. You can see your queue, needle inventory, and stash and more is in the pipeline. The development teams commitment to user-driven upgrades is sincere, fast, and happening. What is launched now is useful and the direction they are headed is going to fantastic. I prefer to have this skeleton app now which works bug-free rather than waiting another year for a bloated app.

So easy to upload photos on the fly!

Love this app the add a picture is so quick and easy. Much love and ease of use.

Project photos can be very slow to display but otherwise excellent app that interfaces well with Ravelry

I love Wooly, it makes updating my projects very easy!
